10 Questions with
Denise Boutte 1. What’s new/next Denise Boutte? Where do I start? LOL! Get Ready to Tune In... “For the Love of Ruth” Re-airs Sunday, June 7th (check your local listings for times) on TV-One! The film is inspired by the Biblical story of Ruth that at its core, is a quintessential story of love, commitment and loyalty. Denise Boutté (Meet The Browns) stars as Ruth, an orphan who was in search of her place in a lonely world, until Naomi Marachond – played by Loretta Devine (Grey’s Anatomy) –enters her life and provides the guidance and warmth she’s been seeking. Rounding out the cast are James Pickens Jr. (Grey’s Anatomy) in the role of Stephen Marachond, Naomi’s sullen brotherin law and Gary Dourdan (CSI) as Braxton Marachond, damaged isolated cousin Ruth’s love interest. So Loved portraying this character! Wasn’t about the hair, the makeup, the wardrobe but was strictly a dramatic, character-driven role that I had to believably ground and bring to life. So love comedic roles but this a wonderful opportunity to so range
and chops. I’m no One-Trick Pony, LOL!
“The BounceBack” hits Theaters this Fall! I play the x-wife, to Shemar Moore’s character, Matthew Taylor, a relationship guru with a best selling book. He’s on a whirlwind promotional tour, when he meets a fellow relationship expert, portrayed by Nadine Velazquez, who thinks he’s nothing more than a charlatan. Their professional rivalry gets complicated when they unexpectedly fall in love.
The Choir Director: Part two of “the Preacher’s Son”... Bishop T.K.Wilson has done all he can to make First Jamaica Ministries a success, but with his last choir director getting caught in a scandal, attendance and cash flow are down. The Bishop is now counting on a new choir director to revive the church. Little does he know, this decision may also put his job as Bishop in jeopardy; as well as the lives of his family.
I also have a Cookbook, Seasoning Blends and a new episodes of my Cooking show, “Denise’s Dish” on deck!

I find modern day’s obsession with derriere’s pretty Hilarious! In high school, I used to pray that gravity would take over and drop that puppy but with a name like Boutte, guess I have no choice, than to do it justice. Lol!
4. How does YOUR starring role in TV One “For The Love of Ruth” impact your life today? “For the Love of Ruth” is an endearing story that everyone can relate to, about the journey through the peaks and valleys of life. I saw the story as a humanized, more modernized Biblical-based story of Compassion, Commitment and Resilience. From a career perspective, it’s significant to me, in that it’s not about the hair, makeup, wardrobe... It’s my most

6. What dreams do you have? To journey through life in true Happiness, Peace, Health and Prosperity, with the Family and Friends I Love and are True, by my side, every step of the way.
Everything else is icing on the cake and on the vision board, wheels already in motion. Stay Tuned!
7. What have been some of your favorite roles? Trina from “Why Did I Get Married” is still tops on the list. That role came at a time when I was so new to LA, the world of acting... I mean, to be Blessed with the opportunity to work alongside the likes of Janet Jackson, Jill Scott, Tyler Perry himself, folks who’s work I’d admired, far before the decision to pursue acting even entered my mind?!?!? I still pinch myself. My role as Simone Wilcox in the upcoming Carl Weber film, “The Choir Director” is certainly going to get people talking. Put it this way... Simone makes Trina, look like a Saint! LOL!
