Soulful Don Cornelius' life is chronicled in BET's 'American Soul,' and with heavy involvement from his own son, Tony, you know the show gets the biographical series fairly accurate, starting right from his imploding family relationships, choosing 'Soul Train' over family and his eventual suicide in 2012.

Along the story of Don Cornelius, who is the "soul" of it all, we meet new characters who form the heart of the show. One particular character is JT, played by Christopher Jefferson.
