Jim Bono


Mike Epps strikes me as Jim Bono, Troy Maxson’s best friend.  They’ve known each other for over thirty years, met in jail.  Bono doesn’t always have the correct answers, but knows Troy very well.  "Hell yeah!  Long as I done known you.  You forgetting I knew you when."  He knows all his stories and when he’s lying.  He’s a funny man who likes to get loose with Troy on Fridays after work and have a few beers.  He has a wife named Lucille and is Rose’s friend.  Bono and Troy work together until Troy starts to drive the trucks.  This puts a strain on their relationship and they start not to see much of each other anymore.  Bono, has become concerned with Troy and Rose’s marriage, and starts to suspect that he is running about town with another woman.
