Epps also pushes himself to give back. He co-stars in a TV, radio, and online campaign to help stop suicide among members of the military.
“The high rate of suicide in the military — we wanted to shine some light on that,” says Epps, referring to the star-studded cast of the public service announcements. “If there’s any drop as a result, that’s a good thing.”
Epps joins a host of other celebrities — including Michael Chiklis, Melissa Leo, Terrell Owens, and Alfre Woodard — who encourage soldiers, veterans, and their families to seek help if they need it and direct them to a suicide prevention hotline.
