Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Todd Tucker and Kandi Burruss’ son Ace has acted in his first movie role. Little Ace was cast in the BET+ movie Favorite Son directed by Robin Givens.
The movie already aired on May 6, but it can still be seen on BET+, Amazon and Vudu. The movie is based on the novel by Tiffany L. Warren about a two brothers in a gospel group run by their strict father. Five-year-old Ace plays the son of one of the brothers.
Burruss was proud of Ace and shared a post on Instagram after his first table read. His father also posted a beautiful tribute to Ace on Instagram and thanked his young son for reminding him to chase his own dreams.
“I’m so proud of my Acey Pooh! He got his first role in a movie & they had their first table read today. He’s excited & we’re excited for him! My little superstar @acetucker!
,” wrote the proud mama.
“I want to Thank @acetuckerfor inspiring me,” wrote Tucker. “I haven’t been chasing my dreams because I’ve lacked confidence, I’ve been chasing money and I’ve been helping other people chase their dreams. I’m focused and I’m ready to do what I love! Thank you @acetucker! Keep inspiring and motivating!”
Ace also paid tribute to his dad on Father’s Day.
“Happy Father’s Day to my best friend @todd167!!!! I love you!”
The film also stars Rotimi, E. Roger Mitchell, Lisa Arrindell, Anthony Evans Jr., Jonathan McReynolds, Rotimi, Loren Lott and Tamika Scott.

Little Ace’s parents met while filming The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Tucker was working behind the camera in production, and much of their love story was caught on film. They married in 2016. Burruss and Tucker also share one-year-old daughter Blaze together, as well as Burruss’ daughter, Riley, 19, and Tucker’s 25-year-old daughter, Kaela.
With the three talents living under one roof, perhaps the trio will do a project together soon. If they do, we’re here for it! Congratulations Ace!
