Viola Davis was kinda coy about Kobe Bryant showing up during a table read for an episode of "How to Get Away with Murder," but it sounds to us like Kobe's testing his acting chops, though his fate on the show sounds like it will end tragically.
We got Viola -- who by the way is super cool and fun -- Friday at LAX, and at first she seems to pooh pooh the notion that Kobe will appear on the show. Then again, she's a great actress!
Look who showed up at our final read thru!!! ❤@kobebryant #HTGAWM pic.twitter.com/d3TV0iMP1P
But our photog pinned her down -- after all, she tweeted Kobe did indeed show up -- but her explanation is pretty hilarious.
