Sinbad is poised for a comeback, appearing in his first movie since his 2020 stroke. While he has been on the long road to recovery, that he is doing well enough to step before the camera shows his determination not only for entertainment but to please his fans.
The project that Sinbad has lined up is Tyler Perry’s Straws, which is set up at Netflix. The comedian will be joining Taraji P. Henson, Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor, Rockmond Dunbar, Glynn Turman, Mike Merrill, and Ashley Versher. As per Deadline, in Straws, “a single mother faces a series of unfortunate events that lead her down an unexpected path. Struggling against circumstances beyond her control, she becomes entangled in a situation she never imagined. Fueled by desperation, she finds herself at the center of suspicion in a world that seems indifferent to her existence.”
