Tyriq Withers on Romance and Redemption in Reminders of Him
Tyriq Withers has never been afraid to take risks on screen, but his latest role tackles something even more terrifying than horror: falling in love. After standout performances in Him and I Know What You Did Last Summer, Tyriq steps into a new emotional landscape as Ledger Ward in Reminders of Him, the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel. His portrayal explores the tenderness in grief, the courage in forgiveness, and a vulnerable side audiences haven’t seen from him before. In this episode, Tyriq sits down with Jacqueline Coley to talk about joining the “Colleen Hoover Cinematic Universe” and discovering what gentleness in masculinity looks like through Ledger’s journey. He opens up about working with co-star Maika Monroe — from the unforgettable chemistry read she joined from her bathtub, to the moment he dressed up as the Lorax just to break the tension during an emotionally intense shoot. Tyriq also reflects on his acting inspirations (including his reverence for Denzel Washington and Paul Newman), defends Love Jones as the ultimate romance film, and even gets emotional when surprised with a heartfelt message from his co-star. Reminders of Him is only in Theaters March 13. Buy tickets now on Fandango. https://www.fandango.com/reminders-of-him-2026-243076/movie-overview
