The actor is best known for his television roles in "The Event," "In Treatment," "L.A. Law," "Dirty Sexy Money," "Sex and the City," and "The Old Adventures of New Christine," and for film roles in Set it Off, Just Cause, Madea's Family Reunion, Something New, I Will Follow, and Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the Seventh Day.  He also recently launched a clothing line, the BU Collection.

At the event, Due, her husband Steven Barnes and Underwood will sign copies of their NAACP Image Award-winning Tennyson Hardwick mystery novels.
