When Chris Webber fine-tuned his acting skills to play the Preacher in the hit movie Uncle Drew, he talked to Uproxx about the  movie, explaining that he “didn’t need to do much studying to get his role down”.  In fact, he said that “I was familiar with the role of the preacher from my history in growing up, and so there was inspiration I took from some people….It was a lot of fun because I did it with guys that are friends of mine, and so I was very comfortable with that.”
