New Orleans hometown hero Anthony Mackie is helping rebuild roofs in the city damaged by Hurricane Ida.
In this image taken from a video, actor Anthony Mackie, who portrays Captain America in an upcoming film, is seen in New Orleans on Monday, Sept. 12, 2022. Mackie grew up working in the family roofing business and is now teaming up with roofing company GAF to fix roofs for homeowners who sustained damage during last year's Hurricane Ida.
GAF, a subsidiary of Standard Industries that makes things like shingles, underlayment and other roofing related products for homes and businesses, has committed to installing 500 roofs throughout the Gulf Region. That includes 150 roofs in the 7th Ward of New Orleans, an area that was hammered by both Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and then Ida that hit on the same day 16 years later.
GAF is also training people in roofing skills through their GAF Roofing Academy. They teamed with Rebuilding Together New Orleans who is supplying the labor while GAF is supplying the materials and paying the costs.
Mackie, whose family owns Mackie One Construction, grew up working in the roofing business before going on to an acting career that has included such hits “We Are Marshall” and “The Hurt Locker.” In recent years he’s appeared in numerous Avengers movies as Sam Wilson — aka Falcon — and is taking over the Captain America role.
