CHICAGO — A man everyone knows best for stand-up comedy is taking on a serious role in the new horror drama "Spiral: From the Book of Saw."
In the movie, Chris Rock stars as a police detective taking charge of a grisly investigation of a murder similar to series of other gruesome crimes of the past including the killer's morbid game.
On a Zoom call, the actor talked to WGN’s Dean Richards about switching gears from laughs to drama to horror.
"Spiral: From the Book of Saws" opens Friday in theaters.
