Tika Sumpter

“One Life to Live” alum Tika Sumpter (ex-Layla Williamson) has signed with Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based management company, reports Deadline. She reunites with her former agent DC Wade, who is a managing partner at the firm. His clients also include Yvonne Orji (“Insecure”), WWE Superstar Daria Berenato (aka:  Sonya Deville), Amberia Allen (“The Wonder Years”) and Sterling Brim (“Ridiculousness”), among others.

Since exiting the role of Layla Williamson on “One Life to Live,” Sumpter has made a name for herself in Hollywood, starring in such shows as “The Game” and “The Haves and the Have Nots.” She also has had a thriving movie career, which includes such films as “Ride Along,” “A Madea Christmas,” “Ride Along 2,” “Nobody’s Fool,” “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 2.”

Sumpter is set to reprise her role as Maddie Wachowski from the “Sonic” movies in the Paramount+ original spinoff series, “Knuckles,” which will be released later this year on the streaming series. She’s also attached to reprise her role as Angela Payton in “Ride Along 3,” the third installment in the movie franchise. More recently, she made her directorial debut with “Night Off,” a short film written by Kiana Butler Jabangwe that premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival for Hartbeat’s Women Write Now fellowship. 

Directed by Charles Stone III (“Drumline”), Sumpter can next be seen in “The Underdoggs,” a sports comedy about a former NFL superstar who, after a run-in with the law, agrees to coach a youth football team in lieu of prison in the hopes of relaunching his fledgling career. The cast also includes Snoop Dogg, Mike Epps and George Lopez, among others.

In addition to reaming with DC Wade, Sumpter will continue being repped by talent agency UTA and law firm Hansen Jacobson Teller.
