The performer, who stars alongside Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy in the festival's opening night film Wanted, will also participate in a free, pre-festival on-stage interview at the Majestic Crest Theatre in Westwood on June 16.
Festival director Rich Raddon said Common's 'vision is eclectic and far-reaching, and aligns itself perfectly with what the Los Angeles Film Festival offers to audiences in Los Angeles.'
