A Good Person will be released in UK cinemas March 2023, ahead of a release on Sky Cinema in April 2023.
Written and directed by Zach Braff, A Good Person centers on Allison (Pugh), whose life falls apart after she survives a car accident that kills her future sister-in-law. While in recovery for opioid addiction, she forms a friendship with her would-be father-in-law Daniel (Morgan Freeman). As their relationship grows it helps her inevitably live a life worth living.

Uche will play Nathan, who has contended with much childhood abuse in the past and faces a tragic loss in the present, trying to move on to create a new life for himself in Manhattan.
