"The Urban X nominations for our movies and my work as a performer are important to myself and my company because of the show's celebration of racial diversity," Steele said. "The ethnic category of movies and its performers have traditionally been given less consideration than others in the industry. I appreciate its organizers recognizing Mercenary Pictures and myself among our peers of ethnic and interracial producers and performers."
Steele will also be on the red carpet to interview the show's guests for his upcoming mainstream program, The Lexington Steele Show.
