Tyler Perry didn’t know he was hiring the actress who bought a billboard to get his attention when she landed a role in his new show!

The 50-year-old actor and director recently opened up about Racquel Bailey getting cast on his new show Sistas.

“That was scary as hell. I was really creeped out about it,” Tyler said of her billboard stunt.

He continued, “She auditioned. I didn’t even know it was her. I had separated the two in my mind. She got the job and after she gets the job, they tell me, ‘Oh that’s the girl from the billboard!’ I go, ‘What? Why didn’t somebody tell me!?’ It’s good that she’s good because if you put up a billboard and you suck, it’s not going to work.”

Tyler added that doesn’t recommend the billboard stunt for anyone else.

Tyler Perry is choosing to stay in Atlanta while many film productions are leaving the city amid the state’s abortion ban.

The 50-year-old actor and filmmaker is set to open a massive new studio in Atlanta despite Hollywood’s backlash against the law, which bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected.

“Atlanta has been the dream. It has been the promised land. So when I got here, this whole state and city has been amazing to me and I wouldn’t trade that for anything,” Tyler told the Associated Press (via THR).

He continued, “Also, I put $250 million in the ground here and in the studio. So when you have a quarter of a billion dollars sat down in the ground, you can’t just up and leave.”

He added that those now working in Atlanta’s film industry will hopefully influence the vote in the future.

“What I know about this industry is that there are 94,000-plus or 98,000 people who are in this industry and who are benefiting from it greatly. And that’s a lot of votes. I’m in a wait and see moment right now. But that’s a lot of votes. That’s a lot of votes that can determine an election,” Tyler said.

While Tyler hasn’t shared his opinion on the abortion ban, his publicist said he is against the law.
