Since getting his start in the game just over a decade ago, actor Rome Flynn has been steadily rising in the world of Black Hollywood. From his Emmy-winning performance in the daytime soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful, to more recent recurring roles on hit dramas like Dear White People, Grey’s Anatomy and Chicago Fire, the 33-year-old ladies man has been a fan-favorite on the small screen for the past 11 years and counting.
Of course, most would agree that his star truly started to shine when he joined the cast of ABC’s dearly-missed suspense drama, How to Get Away with Murder, after guest starring in the Season 4 finale as Gabriel Maddox, rising to series regular for Season 5 and the final sixth season.
He and series star Viola Davis always had great scenes together.

Flynn joined us this week for “My First Time” to take a quick journey back about seven years or so to when he first met his EGOT co-star.

For this guy though, he was more or less concerned with respecting her prefix by deciding on whether to call her “Mrs. Davis” or keep it casual with a simple “V.” Thankfully the latter option proved to be her preferred choice, and now we can only hope Romie-Rome and V come together again soon for another project or, dare we say it, a HTGAWM reboot? Here for it!
