From Boyz N the Hood in 1991 until now, Morris Chestnut has seen much of Hollywood. 'I've been through pretty much everything in the industry.' Now he's starring in and executive producing CBS's new drama Watson . It 'was a no-brainer' for Chestnut when he was approached to play Dr. John Watson . 'It's just a blessing and an honor to have that opportunity.' Based within the mythology of Sherlock Holmes , Watson picks up a year after Holmes' death.
When I look at what I have here with Watson, 15 years ago, I don't know if I'd be able to do the role the way I'm able to do it now, because he suffered quite often. The character's dealing with the loss of his best friend who he cared deeply for. He's dealing with the trials and tribulations of losing his wife in a marriage. So there's that history that I can draw from of being in a marriage long-term with my wife.
