KESHIA KNIGHT PULLIAM TO PLAY A HOOKER: Tyler Perry casts the Cosby kid in his upcoming film 'Madea Goes to Jail.'
*Actress Keshia Knight Pulliam, best known as little Rudy Huxtable from the sitcom "The Cosby Show," will play an imprisoned prostitute in the upcoming film "Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail."
Lionsgate's big-screen adaptation of Perry's popular stage play will also star Derek Luke and is due to begin filming next month in Atlanta for an early 2009 release.
The 29-year-old Spelman College grad will play Candy, a prisoner who comes to learn valuable life lessons from new inmate Madea, the gun-toting grandma played by Perry himself. Madea arrives on Candy's cell block after her arrest for stealing gas and leading police on a freeway chase. During her incarceration, Candy convinces Madea to take custody of her wayward daughter Toni once she is set free. Luke will play an attorney who has a past with Candy.
Pulliam recently appeared in Perry's TBS series "House of Payne" and is launching an Atlanta-based production company for film and television projects that she has in development.
