“If You Believe in Me, Then I Believe in Me a Little Bit More”: How Tyler Perry Pushed Kat Graham and Meagan Tandy on ‘Duplicity’

Marley and Fela may seem like best friends in Tyler Perry's Duplicity, but the deeper writer-director-producer Tyler Perry takes his characters down the path to truth, the further it's revealed that perhaps they knew very little about one another. Kat Graham and Meagan Tandy, as Marley and Fela, respectively, jumped at the opportunity to play in the sandbox that Mr. Perry has created.

Unlike some of the characters in this film, they are purely genuine.
