Exclusive: Tatyana Ali talks Lifetime's thriller Vanished: Searching For My Sister
Premiering tonight, Saturday, January 22nd at 8pm ET/PT on Lifetime is Vanished: Searching For My Sister, starring Tatyana Ali, Justin Bruening, Jasmine Guy, Carolyn Hennesy, and Anthony “Treach” Criss.
Twins Jada and Kayla (both played by Tatyana Ali) could not be more opposite: Jada being the mild- mannered sister with an office job, and Kayla the wild child. Recently divorced from her husband Warren (Justin Bruening), Kayla asks Jada to watch her daughter while she sets up her new apartment. But after a few days with no word from Kayla, Jada begins to worry and reports her sister missing. With no leads and the police investigation at a standstill, Jada takes matters into her own hands. She disguises herself as her sister and gets pulled into a world of drugs and deceit in order to learn the shocking truth about what really happened to Kayla.
Best known for her role as Ashley Banks on the NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Ali also starred as Tyana Jones on the TV One original series Love That Girl!, and played a recurring role as Roxanne on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless from 2007 to 2013. Besides the numerous films she’s done, she’s also a main cast member on the animated series Fancy Nancy. Blackfilmandtv.com correspondent Sidnee Michelle caught up with Ali as she talked about her role on the Lifetime thriller Vanished: Searching For My Sister.
