Bobby Bermea, Jesus Hopped the A’ Train Owen Casey
Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train occurs almost entirely within the one-hour-per-day periods when two Rikers Island prisoners—Angel Cruz (Anthony Lam) and Lucius Jenkins (Bobby Bermea)—get to see the sun. Cruz awaits trial for the attempted murder of a cult leader (though Cruz says he “just shot him in the ass”). Jenkins, a serial killer who has found Christ in jail, passes time attempting to convert Cruz.
