Is your soul from another galaxy?
Withers most recently starred opposite Marlon Wayans in Him (formerly Goat ), the Universal Pictures psychological horror film from Jordan Peele's Monkeypaw Productions. The project centers on a promising young athlete who is invited to train with a team's retiring star. Wayans plays the legendary quarterback, with former college athlete Withers as his protégé.
Justin Tipping (Kicks) directed the film from a Black List script by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie. The cast also includes Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, comedian Jim Jefferies, and musicians Guapdad 4000 and Tierra Whack. The film is scheduled for wide release on September 19, 2025.
Before Him , Withers was perhaps best known for his role in FX’s Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning comedy series Atlanta , created by and starring Donald Glover. His performance as Aaron, a biracial high school student whose identity is questioned, led to recurring roles on Tell Me Lies for Hulu and The Game for Paramount+.
