Among those Isaiah starred opposite are John C. Reilly, Jason Clarke, Jason Segel, Gaby Hoffmann, Rob Morgan, Adrien Brody, and Solomon Hughes. Exec produced by Adam McKay, who also directed the pilot, Winning Time first premiered in March 2022 and wrapped up its two-season run in September. For his performance, capturing the physicality, charisma and confidence of Johnson, Isaiah was set to receive Rising Star Award at the Critics Choice Association’s 5th Annual Celebration of Black Cinema & Television.

Isaiah will next make his feature film debut in Grassland, an indie drama that he also exec produced. Exploring the failures of the criminal justice system from a unique angle, the film from directors William Bermudez and Sam Friedman concluded principal photography over the summer for an anticipated 2024 release. 

Also previously seen on HBO’s Emmy-winning sketch series A Black Lady Sketch Show, Isaiah will continue to be represented by CAA, Relevant, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
