Josh Burdett stars in ‘Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace’ opposite Cuba Gooding Jr. and Denise Richards
Josh Burdett secured the lead role in newly released ‘Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace’, directed by Ali Zamani. He plays Gabriel, a Gulf War veteran with PTSD and haunted by guilt. A mysterious mentor figure appears to him in the shape of the mercurial Cuba Gooding Jr.’s character, Balthazar. With his guidance, Gabriel realises his true purpose of fighting for God against a growing satanic army. Burdett and Gooding share the screen together with fantastic chemistry.
Josh Burdett is known for his roles in Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominated film ‘Loving Vincent’, ‘WarHunt’ and his recurring role in HULU Original ‘Find Me in Paris’. He has just wrapped on TV series ‘Gandhi’(Hansal Mehta) and the film ‘Murder at the Embassy’ (Lionsgate) alongside Mischa Barton.
Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace is an action-adventure fantasy film starring Josh Burdett, Cuba Gooding Jr. (Oscar winner for ‘Jerry Maguire’)Denise Richards and Randy Couture. Other names including Arifin Putra, a huge star from Indonesia, as well as Korrina Rico and Michael Teh are among the principal cast.
Josh said: “This is a great film that combines a lot of action and adventure, but also deeper moments about good versus evil, and about atonement for our pasts. I loved the energy on set during this whole project – I met some really wonderful people. It was an unforgettable experience for me to work with a legend like Cuba, and to get to share the screen with a star like Denise Richards as well.”
The film was shot on location in Georgia and Los Angeles, and was directed by Ali Zamani, an award-winning director and filmmaker whose work includes countless music videos and films such as the first instalment of the Angels Fallen franchise.
Josh added: “If you had said to me 15 years ago that I would be the lead in a film also starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Denise Richards, shooting in Hollywood, I don’t know if I would have believed you! The whole experience felt like a realisation of dreams and ambitions that I have held for a long time, since I was a kid. Both Cuba and Denise are so lovely in real life – friendly and kind. They really were a pleasure to work with. I felt so lucky to get to do all Cuba’s scenes with him and to share the screen together. He is a true professional and I got the chance to watch and learn from him on set. I’m so grateful for that, and I’m really grateful to Ali and Zeus Zamani for believing in me to carry the role of Gabriel.”

King Moore: A Rising Star on a Mission to Inspire and Unite
At just 75 pounds, 8-year-old King Moore is emerging as a powerful voice for the Alpha generation. With a blend of music, acting, and political activism, he is capturing hearts across the nation. King’s radiant smile and relentless determination have made him a sensation. With visionary manager and Grammy-winning music publisher Tony Mercedes—known for hits like Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” and TLC’s “No Scrubs”—King’s debut single “ABC,” released on April 30, 2024, has already amassed over four million views on YouTube.
But King’s ambitions extend far beyond personal fame. After a memorable FaceTime meeting with iconic songwriter Jackie DeShannon, he proposed a reimagining of her classic song “Put a Little Love in Your Heart.” This sparked the creation of The King Moore Unity Project, where he collaborated with six handpicked young artists and Grammy-nominated producer Sean McMillion to record the iconic track. The project aims to inspire hope and healing in an increasingly divisive world. As Tony Mercedes aptly noted, “The message was bigger than the melody,” emphasizing that with determination, anything is possible.
Jackie DeShannon reflected on the collaboration, saying, “The Angels came down from Heaven and sang my song. My brother Randy would have been so proud. I know he’s watching over me always.” The single is now available through Tribeca Records and Tony Mercedes Music.
King’s journey began at just three years old, nurtured by the unwavering support of his family. This year alone, he has starred in a national commercial for AT&T, joined the Dreamfest Tour alongside former Nickelodeon star That Girl Lay Lay, and acted in two feature films: Cora Bora and DreamWorks’ animated masterpiece Wild Robot, featuring Lupita Nyong’o. His impressive accomplishments caught the eye of Daytime Emmy-winning talk show host Tamron Hall, leading to a surprise invitation to her “Big Dreamers” series. On the anniversary of her 1,000th episode, Tamron committed to making King’s dream a reality by becoming the Executive Producer of his television show, “Everyone Loves King.” After the show, King exclaimed, “Today was the best day of my life!”
In addition to his entertainment endeavors, King was invited to the White House to participate in a Gun Violence Prevention initiative, where he moved lawmakers with his poignant statement: “Kids make up fifty percent of the population, but they also make up one hundred percent of the future.” He later recorded the song “Safe at School” to advocate for stricter gun safety laws, emphasizing the need for safer environments for his generation. “As a kid from the Alpha generation, and bring a special representative with Celebrities Against Gun Violence (CAGV), I know that better gun safety laws mean better chances for my generation to feel safe at school,” he asserted. King now travels the country speaking out about school safety while on the Dreamfest kids’ tour.
King Moore holds the distinction of being the youngest person ever to receive a proclamation from the city of Atlanta and the youngest hip-hop artist invited to speak at the White House. King and some of the members of the Unity Project were also the youngest to appear Live on stage at Times Square in celebration of International Peace Day to perform “Put A Little Love in Your Heart.”
Despite his many accomplishments, King cherishes the wisdom of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who said, “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.” With this guiding principle, King is on a mission to transform not just the future of his generation but the world around him. While the ultimate outcome of his remarkable journey remains uncertain, one thing is clear: King Moore is destined to be remembered as one of the hardest-working kids in show business.
