Now at age 29, Pulliam is trying out a new, darker and definitely more grown up role. Tyler Perry, creator of the popular movies featuring the character, "Madea", has cast Pulliam as Candace "Candy" Washington, a heroin-addicted prostitute who the pistol-packing Madea befriends after both women end up in jail in the upcoming movie, Madea Goes to Jail.
Pulliam told Black Voices.com that it was a very different role for her and a lot of hard work because it is a darker role. Pulliam said she really had to try and get into character having not had any history of drug abuse or prostitution. The actress did talk to a woman who had been in that situation and recovered and she was able to use those stories to get into character.
Perry told Black Voices.com that Pulliam really wanted to show people that she can act. Pulliam is hoping to continue her transition into more grown up roles and hopes to continue as a respectable adult actor.
