The Amazon Original docuseries REGULAR HEROES is continuing to highlight the contributions and personal sacrifices of just some of today’s most generous individuals who are going above and beyond to support their communities during the Covid-19 crisis.  These timely new episodes, filmed over the last week, will feature a teacher, zookeeper, deli-owner, reverend, truck operator, and an EMT with the FDNY. Additionally, award-winning actor, producer and comedian Kevin Hart and Golden Globe and Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and actor Nick Jonas will make special guest appearances, surprising these heroes with donations of goods, services and more so that they each can continue to pay it forward in their cities.

Charlotte Trapman-O’Brien works as a zoo keeper.

As previously announced, the eight-part docuseries which premiered on May 8th with a special guest appearance by Alicia Keys shines the spotlight on these heroes’ tireless work and amplifies their efforts across America.

He has been doing this on his own, after having to reduce staff and keep his mother, Regina, in quarantine to protect her from the virus.
Roman Grandinetti splits time between a family business and community outreach and support.

JONTÉ LEE (WASHINGTON D.C.)
