Laz Alonso Joins Amazon’s ‘The Boys’
Amazon’s comic book series The Boys is adding Laz Alonso to its growing cast of heroes and vigilantes.
The Boys is set in a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame. It revolves around a group of vigilantes known informally as “the boys,” who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue-collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.
