For the actor, receiving the New Leading Man Award has a double meaning. In the literal sense, Withers has graced the big screen starring in Reminders of Him (2026), Him (2025), and I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025). In July, Deadline announced that the Atlanta actor will star opposite Isabel May for the upcoming romantic comedy, Love Love. And while it’s every actor’s dream to play the lead across projects, Withers also sees that honor as a call to action for the type of person he wants to be not just in his professional life, but personal too.
