• 0:26
  Speaker 1: gonna try to hit you, you hit me. Let's just
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: go for it and and just commit to it. And
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: so did.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: You hit him?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Not hard enough to get unemployed? And you don't want
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to make sure you don't want to work?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I was like, he didn't get stand.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Bruising.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, the Talk of New York and this The Boy
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Uncle Murder a ka leve jeded Lenny.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: And today we got one of the best actors on
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: The Canan Show and as well as a lot of
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: other shows. London Brown a k Uncle Marv is back
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: from the dead, makes him noise.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Come back from the dead baby who.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I could see you man likewise, yeah, I appreciate it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, everybody, you made everybody hate Kanan. Let's get
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: straight into it, right man, you made everybody hate Kanaan.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: But my thing is, I thought you was gonna kill
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Kanan before he killed you. So as your character, what
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: what did Uncle Marv? He didn't want to kill Kane?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Well, honestly, technically jew Box stopped him because when he went,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: when he went to.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: The was it was done.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: The jew Box stopped at and then even but I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: still I think that Marvin, the way Marvin was, I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: think he would have probably felt felt some type of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: way about it after the fact because he.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Has so much love for Rock, for Rock.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, Marvin is not again, Marvin is not a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: dude just snatching purses mole like.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: He's not a he's not a goon.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: He's just standing on what he's standing on and it
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: may not always even be the best way to go
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: about it. But really, most of the stuff he's doing
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: was to always look out for his family or if
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: somebody crossed them wrong with disrespecting them. Like I think
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: episode one, the dude got out of line with rock.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So Marvin, you know, nailed them in the in the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: hit him with the nail gun and buried him in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the wall. And that wasn't even you know, again, Marvin
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: isn't afraid of that kind of He just.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: It wasn't even his own issue. It was again him
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: taken out for family.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: That's that's it. He was just he just standing on
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and he crossed the line. He don't even know all
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of what the dude did, but he know if his
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: sister said handle it all right, well let me go
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: handle it him, jimmy little t while I'm doing it
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and get on to the next and that was it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Facts fact.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that's why.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I think that's why that's part of the reason I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: think the streets really connected with Marvin, because they understand Marvin.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Is we all at some point was it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Was a Marvin or Noah Marvin And he just you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: just again, he's not He's just trying to He just
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: responded to a lot of stuff. He's not really starting it,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: like again to be different and he's just going going
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: around Robin Banks and be like he might be a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: different person, but he's not that either.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Definitely, you know, but he just he was down for
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the family for real.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: That's what I felt like when when when Kenne killed
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: like Lou, it was like, damn, it was kind of
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: for like even though he was he went to go
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: kill Rock, it was a mistake kind of killing Lou, right,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: But when he purposely killed Mav uncle mar it was like, man,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: fuck this little bit man, because when niggas loved it
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: like Marv so much, he was so damn like it
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: was like, how could you do that?
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: But you know what I felt when when when your
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: character Marvin uncle Marv rist in peace when he's when
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: you said the way Rock and in her bodyguard just
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: left Lou out there like.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: A piece of garbage. Yeah, it was just real fucked up.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: That's why I think it was. He was even kind
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of interesting because it was like, again, why did Rock
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: tell Marvin what that canaan did that? What kind of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: selfish played was she running? Because I STI don't even
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: understand that. And then also I'm like, man, why y'all
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: leave him? Even if you had to, there are other
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: ways to hide the body and deal with the body,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: but to leave Loo out there like that, I think
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: we have to go back and see what kind of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: person Rock was. At the end of the day, Rock
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: was trying to get Kane to kill his father. She
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: left me out there like Rock manipulating.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I can see the spin off with about how you
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: and Rock, how y'all came up and lou the whole
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: and needed y'all could probably revisit something like that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, it would have been dope because we you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: again before we come to raise the Knaan, you know Marvin.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: At this some time they father had committed suicide. There's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff we got to still figure out
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: how really how the Thomas family really grew up. But
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, who knows, man, you never know.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: What a story while yeah, doing y'allun and all that,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the baby fall.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: How do you prepare for a scene like the fight
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: scene you had with King Oh? I mean because it
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: looks real. I mean, like you know, we I took
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: a couple of acting classes, but you know, I'm not
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: you murdered so like, and I know you've been acting
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: for a long time, But how do you prepare for
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: something like a fight scene like that we had.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll go in a couple of days before and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: just go over the choreography, and the guys were really
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: really good. They show us what they wants to do,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and we'll go over it a few times, like the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: day before and then revisited or early that week, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: then the day of we'll go over it. But you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: as much as people enjoy what Marvin did, I mean,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it worked, we both got to do it. Do it,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: make it happen because he's selling the punches, so the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: way he you know, it's take after take, you know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So those days are those days are draining because again
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the way you the way people throw hands in real
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: life is not like choreography at all, like as opposed
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to just sometimes you may want to just uh, let's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: say you swing go for the hit someone in the face.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: When we when it's choreography, sometimes they got to be exaggerated.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You gotta swing like across the eye line just to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: make it look like you hit the chin. Little things
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: like that. That's technically and they tell us and because
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: they know, they said, man, I know this feels awkward
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and it feels like you're doing this and you're doing that,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: but trust me, that's how we sell it. So between that,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I think Mario van Peebles directed that one, and they
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: just got to know how to get the right angle
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: so that the audience can see my my punch going
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: across Kane's face. But then they got to turn around
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and cut back to him, like whipping in his face
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: around to catch the punch. So it's just it's just
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: gets technical. It's just a long day of getting close
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: ups and the wide shots. And you know because even
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: when like, uh even just slamming him against the wall, cool,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you're good, Yeah, good, I'm good. So fortunately he was
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: down to make it, make it work, and you thought
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you was throwing him against the wall a little too
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: hard maybe, so you're like, yo, yeah, I'm just checking,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you know, you know. But then also I remember there
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: was a scene in episode one Marvin and Lulu get
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: into a fight in the driveway and were throwing the punches,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and I think he directed that way, and it was
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: just like we all looked at it was like it
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: ain't it ain't selling, So then the won't places Lulu.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Malcolm Mays was like, Yo, let's just hit me for real.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Let's just go for it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And sometimes if you get actors that's down in that way,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: let's just make let's just for you to hit him
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: for real. Yeah, he said, man, just hit just hit me.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Let's just go for it and let's really fight because
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to hit you.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: You hit me.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Let's just go for it and just commit to it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And so you know, did you hit him? Not hard
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: enough to get unemployed? You know, I want to make
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: sure you don't want to work. So I was like,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I tell you be good and you know, but it's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: more of a tussle and just knowing again how to play.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And then for example, they have they have like stunt
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: matts down there painted the same color as the cement
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: on the ground. So all this movie magic. You know
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that that goes down. It really helps make it work.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: But I think everybody, it felt like everybody wanted the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: project to do well as opposed. It wasn't like just
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a writer's thing, or it wasn't even just a fizzy
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: thing or just producers. Like I feel like the actors,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the crew, the makeup, the war. Joe had us had
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: his lays down because I think people forget as well.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Lulu had like he was out there with the with
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the jeans and the forty blows and he doing he
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: got to look and Marvin got another look and then
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you look at Joey, Joey out there, Nick out there
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: with the whole mcm jumps up.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, so they put that together super dope, man.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I was they did a great man, they did a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: great job with with those things. Man, just just the details,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: making sure the cars makes sense, the language, uh, falling
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: falling line, because I remember I seen the Michael Jackson
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: movie and there's one there's the main scene where Michael
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Jackson about to shoot the beating video and he got
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: on you know, the Crimson bloods on, you know, and
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: they said they had a scene in there one of
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the actors. They said, man, one of the actors did
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a dance movee and another guy was like, Mike, we're
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: doing this.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: It's called the seawalk. I'm like, I don't remember no seawalks.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I'm from LA but I don't remember us ever even
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: thinking about no seawalking back ine, was it late eighties
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: or something. I'm like, that was and I mean not
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: who am I even make any notes of that? But
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that was one thing. Being from l A, I'm like,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: we didn't when we underd a something like that, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: back in the you know, back in the day. But anyway,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: all that said, with this show, I think they did
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: a really good job with the details.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Oh I mean I think with shows you always did.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: With one of the best drug dealer shows, it's definitely it. Yeah,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: because I feel like it was y'all in Snowfall. Really
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: Snowfall was a good win and I feel like y'all
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: was there because every actor was just great, Like people
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: always been like, put you in the show, And I'm like,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: if you put all his friends in the movie or
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: a show, it wouldn't be a hit show, you know.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Like when you when the
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: way the actors are put together and the way the
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: show was confirmed and put together, and it just looks
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: it's just a great show. Man over now, let me
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: ask you, when you do the bree shootout, very big shootout,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: how do y'all prep for that? Those are blanks you're
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: using and everything like that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: It's like, uh.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: No, I know it's blank nod you know.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Did you hear this?
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Man? I said that they blank blanks they using. You
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: could use some people use You could use like AI
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: or you could Okay, that's that's that.

  Speaker 5: don't got real real bullets.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: People will be dead.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: It was, so yeah, it's back to the question.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I think it works both ways, which is when
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: it came down to that we uh, it depends on
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: where where the actors are, if it ever dealt with
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a gun before and all that stuff.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: So they will do some training just to get people
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: used to guns.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: But the guns they're about, I forgot the different sizes
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: of them, but as far as they're like blanks, quarter blanks,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And so what happens is depending on
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: how close we are, what take it is. They may shoot,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: We'll shoot a gun, and the sound may be as
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: loud as like it might be like literally a clap
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of noise. Pause, and then you got another one, maybe
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. It'd be louder than the first one.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: But then the third one you actually see fire come
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: from from the from the gun. So it just depends on,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: like again, how close we are to people, and we
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: know that if the target is at the camera, we
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: shoot a little off to the right or to the left.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: We also got to watch where the shells project when
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he was I mean, there was a scene in.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: Episode can get hurt Brother, That's what I know that. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: he's gonna go and set and do this.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: I've hurt everybody. No, No, I don't know why I'm saying.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: You know, listen, one thing about me, I put in
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: work in real life. Like see he talked that ship,
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: but I put in work in real life, So I
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: never did know like that. I'm I'm talking about a
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: few I know, but I'm just talking about I'm acting.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: So even when I'm on the movie set, I know
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: how to do that.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I know you it's a
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: joke to you, but I'm that's serious.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Like I'm real accurate when you come back, and you
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: can check my rap sheet when it comes to sh
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: like I ain't capping, y'all could do after y'all could
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: check it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: There's no cap over here, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: because he don't know about that.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: We're still talking about cases and we're talking.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: We're talking about shooting right now. We wasn't talking about
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: And I'm an expert that that, nigga. Okay, I'm an
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: expert that that. Yeah, yeah, I'm an you can check
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: my rap shet. I'm an expert that, nigga.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I believe. Okay, I put the paining and.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: For real, no, no wherever you'll want to ask, I'm just.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Like, you know, I'm just like, I'm just speaking to facts.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: It ain't no rentnigg I'm speaking.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: You can ain't no rent. Nobody ain't no retalking about
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: going like that. No, no, on the set.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: I don't do that on the set neither. I don't
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Everything I was on the real set I was on.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: I don't want to argue the interview. We having fun
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: man arguing you on one. I don't know what. I
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: love it how we are blinks with the safety.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: All of is like there's a scene why Marvin uh
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: with a couple of things. Well doesn't see an episode
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: one when Marvin is trying to uh, he's trying to
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: shoot that nick and when it comes in with that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: kind of gun, you gotta be careful because the shells.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Of course, obviously people who don't know the shells hot
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: when it come out of the chain and everything. So
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: it's just no, there's some safety things that they get involved.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: But overall it was it was cool.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: You know. They we'll do again.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: We'll do a couple of shots, getting all of shooting
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: over marvin shoulders to get all the breeze stuff, and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: then they turn around and get me and show our side.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: But it's just it's just a process. That was a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: that was a real late night shoot and we just
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: tried to get it done.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: And you familiar with using guns and ship before this, Yes,
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: fellow shooter.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: See thank you man. Can I get some love over here?
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Give me.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: A family friendly show?
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: This is the real point.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: This is the real report.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: So you did have experience, So you did have experience
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: firing guns and ship like that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, copy, you talked about that a little bit.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: You know, I want to stay employed. I don't know
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: thinking about that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know about that. Cool friend talking about
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: guns shooting.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Said some actors you got to teach them, because you
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: didn't mention before that. You know, me and him go
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: through I ship.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: But you heard.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I heard you say some actors you got to teach
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: them how to use a gun, and some actors have
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: experience with it already.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: What I think about it is we you know, there's
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: always like a gun safety guy on set because of
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: course I forgot a couple of years ago.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Did they kill somebody?
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: And then seeing that go back to props and whoever else,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: because like every I don't care what's going on. We
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: we somebody coming by with a flashlight to make sure
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the barrel clear. You can see both sides because it's
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: been acting sometimes who who are just in experience and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: they have the guns. The hang out and they tapping
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: over here, they scratch their head and the gun go off.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: And it's very it's very dangerous like that's what it
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: says in the Bruce Willis movie. If you shot, you
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: would know about the blanks. That's why I was kind
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: of asking.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: You because I know about the blanks.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Don't know money of vilence didn't have blinks. Oh I
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: didn't know that. I thought it was question first.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: It didn't look like that, but you didn't have no graphics,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: and there it was and it was flooding. In the
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Bruce Willis movie, I actually got shot, so of course
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: when they shot it was so you had experience.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Again, when you get shot, you don't have blanks on
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: blank snow.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Of course you got the But what I'm saying is
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: when you're when you're handling the gun, you're getting shot.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Doesn't mean ship. I got shot to an ad, I
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: had a blood pack on my hand and I had
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: all that other ship. Swat to y'all go check it out,
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: tires out now, Shout to Shane Gillis, Shout the shan
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: nominated showever you see For me, I know what the
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: squid packs and they go like fire crackers blowing up
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: on your head.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: But with the.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Crazy you know what I'm saying.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Because also to man, you do gotta be careful because
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: especially when that's that scene with Canaan, he still is
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: fairly close. Like sometimes you know, the dust and different
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: things like that can be what it is. But yeah,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you we do use a squize and sometimes using without
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and then the last two takes that's when they come
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: in and really put the stuff because the only guy
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: maybe two copies of that shirt I think that they
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: bought so they can really show the blood and everything
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: like that. But we had a great I mean again,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: everybody was down to the details. They didn't really mess
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: around with.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: Just when you know your character is about to die, right,
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: because when we've seen Ghost die, it seemed like it
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: ruffled his feathers a little bit, like he was like,
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: I don't get paid enough and this and that once
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: his character died. When do you know your character is
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: going to die? Do you know like three weeks ahead
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: of time? And how do you feel and do you
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: get upset a little bit?
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't get upset because I felt like, yeah, it
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: kind of worked out.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Do you know like three weeks ahead of time or
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: two weeks or like a couple ofs.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember when South to shout out topin
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: he's a showrunner. I was trying to think if he
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: actually told me in the beginning of the season or
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: as we got closer to it, because they were trying
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to starts really good at keeping the project secret a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: secretive because people, you know, they beat spoilers and people
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: have heard some things get out before. So we really
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: didn't know know like that, know like that, because they
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: were trying to protect the script so we would shoot
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the episodes. I think the audience thinks that we shoot
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: like like we get all the scripts and we just
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: kind of know all of what. In fact, I wanted
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to know what was ahead, but I'm glad they didn't
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: let me know that way I could just play it
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: for real and just so I just had to be
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: extremely present because I didn't know what was going on,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: but so that emotionally it all made sense. I just
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: had to really pay attention so as opposed to because
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: sometimes if you get the script, if you get something
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: like a series and you know everything's going on, you
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: made places of things too soon that you don't need
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to be playing. And let's just say, had I been
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, y'all seen Marvel and the Nigga was
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: sad in season three you had already, but by playing
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: it towards the end, and we don't know.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Between shoot we don't.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: First of all, we shoot out of order, so it's
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: kind of hard to keep up with what's going on.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: All I know is I gotta let's say, Marvin got
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a scene where he's picking up jukebox, and then the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: next day me and Rock having having McDonald's at the table, like,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: we don't really know what's going on. You just gotta
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: just know your stuff. And then between shooting out of order,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: they and edits. We've we've had alternate endings too, and
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: they may do two versions of it. And then the
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: next thing is they've changed the script all the time,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and we get rewrites all the time. They draft off
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the draft and you know, we'll do a table read
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: that's one version of it, and then you know they'll
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: email another version that night, and then in the morning
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: they give us some new size and the trailer it's
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: always concentrated.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: So to all you.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: Actors on the come up, it's a lot of work.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: It's not easy.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: A scene of somebody dying so much that I seen George,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: they had so many different versions of it.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: It was like five or six.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I think maybe I think only ones who might who
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: do something like that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Is Spike Lee good for that?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Like Spike Lee a double back on a if you
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: go back and watch a Spike Lee movie for example,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: even like Malcolm X and there's a scene where Denzel
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: is shaking Spike Lee's hand when right when Malcolm becomes
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Muslim and whatnot, and Spike Lee's character goes to visit
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: him at the at the mosque, and then Denzel's character
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and Spike they do a hug, and Spike Lee he'll
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: show that like three or four times. It just he
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: just kind of showed the hug this way, this way,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: And so I thought when that's the first one I
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: thought was Spike.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: But it was a little bit mind.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: What you saw, Like damn, they got me dying like
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: four five different times in this mall.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You know what, I understood it, and I think it
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: was I think it was. I think it was solid
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: because I think the writer's knew in saus knew the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: impact mar was gonna have. So as opposed to it
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: again as supposed to be being one shot and just
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: fall into the ground, I think they just said we're
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: gonna ring We're gonna ring out this scene and let
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: it and let it.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Happen like that.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Oh man, that was That was a few, no less
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: than five hours of doing even just that scene itself,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: It's just coming all the angles. And then also because
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: of his graphics, you gotta time it out and make
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: sure the shots lined up with the with the fall,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and then on top of that, it's like like again
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you you it is. That's why I was just trying,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: how do we how do we make this?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Uh? How do we make it work?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: But I think they knew the impact that Marvel was
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: gonna have, probably even more than I did. Uh, And
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: that's why I think they just said let it go
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: out because initially the shootout saying that I felt like
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: would have been not for me, but most people. I
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: would imagine, if you want to go out dramatic, I'm
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: thinking not Breeze, I'm thinking, uh, in the training day,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: set it off on the car and doing the shoot
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: that you know, you really get the shots. But it
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: was actually better. It was just like this because just
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: like this is his nephew really gonna It was quiet,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: it was somber, It wasn't a lot going on, so
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: everybody whatever popcorn or whatever smoke you had, you was
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: at that scene. He was locked in because it was
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: nothing going on.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: You know what it felt like with all the characters,
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: they felt like you and Lou was like overly loyal,
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: and it's like Canan and his mom was just super grimy.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: But I think that's the thing. I don't think people
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: even because initially when.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: The show dropped, I remember all the women rallied behind
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: rock go ahead, black queens. She's strong, and I'm like
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: rockets manipulating all that. She puppeteering her brothers.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: She had. He liked that. I felt like, I feel
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: like she had to be like that.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: She was.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: She was not, she was in, she was amongst other shops.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: Dropped that off like a dead dog in the streets man,
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: you know what.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well by that point of the things I mean
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: by that point, yeah, I mean things like that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm talking about everything.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: She remember she knocked there for bodyguard after that because
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: he's seen it. But she was like I knew he
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: was dying, Like come on, don't come in for come
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: to the call. They was just super grindy characters.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: You know, but the.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Church, Yes, Canan but again that's the that's the can
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I think people wasn't when when we first started shooting,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: it was just like, man, canan ain't he don't. We
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: don't really see we don't see the O G Canan
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: right here. I'm like, no, you gotta let let this
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: nigga bild. He gotta build that character. He gotta, you
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: gotta you don't. Look, people don't become people don't aren't
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: born criminals. There's some things that happened through child and
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: what happened when who really put them on to this
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and who.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: All of that.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Man, when you think about even when we listen to
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Joe crack story about him getting into and how it
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: became this bully, he was getting bullied at one point
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: he was just like, well, dang, that's not at some
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: point he was getting bullied in he said enough is enough,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going up.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: We let's get with it. And so I think that
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: with Canaan again, it was just one of those things.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: It was like it was a progress uh proggressive of
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: uh process of progress where we we looked up and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: we said okay, because when we first we first meet Canaan,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: he can't even stand inside of blood he throwing up
• 27:09

• 28:59
  Speaker 1: you just don't know how the audience is going to
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: gravitate to whichever characters and things like that. And then again,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: we were not on the show with weak talent. You

• 29:13

  Speaker 2: Been in front of TV so long that there's nothing
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: but we got it.
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: We got so much to talk about. Let's rewind in
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: the time, because come on, man, you gotta talk about
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Baller's man. You doing TV with the rock Man. He's
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: gonna make me go watch Ballers all over again.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Bro, Dude, you know what, the ball was cool because
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: that that project that allowed me to eat. I was like,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: all must up was in my mom's garage and in
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: my trunk. So that that that project just finally.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: You get your own ship.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: It just said I can breathe. Finding it was just,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: you know because and then at that time again I
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: was just I was just in the just in the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: grind of trying to figure it out. I had no
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: agent or manager.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Comedy at that time.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: I was doing comedy at the time.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: I thought I was doing comedy from Jesse Larry. It's
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: not yeah, I was.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I was doing stand up at the time and have
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: my little four jobs and just trying to figure it out.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: And so when you got Bullets, I was like, thank god, dude, when.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I got to you know what, when I got when
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I got Balls, I didn't even think.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: It took me a long time believe that it was
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: legit because they be making changes last minute. Don't sit man,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: they like you, and then the network say, yeah, but
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you don't have a big enough name.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: But we don't know this.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Bring and they switch out. We've seen it on We've
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: seen on you know, Fresh Prince. They switched out my
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: wife and kids and switched the daughters out like they
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: switched they switched actors.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Out in a minute.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: So for me, not until I really crazy, not till
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I really I was so broke. I remember I had
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to go out and move to Miami when I landed
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: that and I told him there's like you ready, I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: was like, listen, man, I need whatever that y'all supposed
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: to give me after I after I worked, I'm gonna
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: need that right now to just live and I'm let
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: me figure this out. And yeah, I told her, I said, man,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I need I need an advantage. I got it, you know,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and they they worked out it because they understood.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I was, you know, just but it was cool.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Miami was cool, man, Miami was cool. I once we
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: said we did two seasons there. I was really planning
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: on moving back for the third, but we came to
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: LA But even but even with that, that was cool
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: because nobody knew who I was. But all my scenes
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: was across from Dwayne right Dwayne Johnson, so they didn't
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I was only supposed to do like an episode or two.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I wasn't really written in like that. I was because
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I was a side idea, but they decided to make
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: me lead. And then I think really from what I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: was giving them, I ended up becoming like the antagonists
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: in season one, like doing everybody Gonna love Dwayne anyway,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: But I was all my stuff was playing across from Dwayne.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: So I had them make them annoying and make them
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the friend that's trying to look out for what's friend.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: And just because if you don't give the writers anything,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: right they you know, you you be in a coma
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: in the next episode, and you be in a car accident,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: you out of here. So I was trying to give them,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I was trying to give them things
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: to you know, things to work with, and just keep
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the character interesting. And that's how he stayed for five seasons.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: But even with Raised Canaan, that was the goal too,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: which was let me just let me keep Marvin interesting
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: so that they'd be like, all right, we know we're
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: going right, you were like, because also we got to
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: bring these words off the page.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: If we not doing nothing, the writers.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Said, well, why we keep giving them these monologues and
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: these things, and he don't even know how to all right,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: let's go over here and let's and that's why certain
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: people are leaves.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: That's why you got improv too. You're not just reading
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: the line. You improv some of it too.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: A lot of the first like the first few seasons,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: definitely the first couple of seasons of Ballers, and more
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: so a lot through Our Ballers, but then also the
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: first couple seasons of Raising Kanaan, because I think the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: writers were trying to find Marvin's what we're all trying
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: to find, you know, because sometimes these writers write these
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: characters but they don't really know who they are except
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: to us as actors when we go into these auditions
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and we say, this is what you this is what
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: you're looking for. Because even with Ballers, the character was
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: supposed to be fat then his name was Fat Reggie.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: But I was the only one in there, you know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: buck Ay, and I'm looking at all these lines but
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: they didn't know, so I was.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Just like I was just I was just ready to go.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: It's it's like, man, with these projects, sometimes it's like
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: being in an athlete on the bench and you like
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: you've been shooting in the gyms, You're like, coach, I'm
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: ready to And even if even if they don't want
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to reluctantly, because sometimes been like that with the with
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the network people, the people in the room will be
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: they like, Yolen is the guy, but the suits.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Be like, we don't know who is he and this,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: but people in the room were able to fight me.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: And so when these opportunities come up, it's trying, it's
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: trying to So when the coach said, hey, Yo, all right, Brown,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: let's let's go.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I'm going there. I'm trying to nigga, lay up, donk crossover,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: get a triple doe. You gotta do.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: You gotta show what you got because you dis your
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: opportunity to make it happen. And also, like I've been saying,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know who gonna watch the show. I know
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: its oys, I don't know who gonna be. You know,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: go visit fifth us, go to some event and and
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: he is a in fifth got raised cane in and
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: he got that and this and that playing on the
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: screens while music and drinking.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: But who's the who's the dude over there?
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Who's that?
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I need to make sure that whoever might tune in
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: that that might be able to make some things happen.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: There is I'm on point, man.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: What five seasons?
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Yep, balls five season?
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: It's great man work next to the rock. There's so
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: much stuff that a lot of people out there didn't
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: even know you did. And did you go to acting
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: school or.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Though, yeah, I'm welcome from and of course we take
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: classes and courses and.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Acting classes. I never hear nobody say theater, but a
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: lot of actors that do theater team to be great
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: actors too.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we uh.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: The thing I think the difference between theater actors and
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: TV actors is, you know theaters. I personally feel like
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: it gives you a different work. It creates a different
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: work ethic for you. And then also because you know
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: once you start, once you start to play, then ain't
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: no stop cutting go you got to know that material
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: because the show once you go, that train leaves out
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: of there. Then two, there's a different kind of presence
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: that you. I think you develop from working in such
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: a large space. For example, that's like if I feel
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: like if an artist only performs in the club for
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: one hundred people, that's cool, but some artists don't know
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: how to transform when it's trying to hit that stadium
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: and come out in the in that theater and that
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: in the rooms, and they still they standing here.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: I'm like, man, you got a whole stage of energy.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Is your energy?
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Can your energy be felt in a larger space? And
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I think with theater we learned how to physically you
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: be in the space and command that. So now when
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: it's time to go to TV or film or whatnot,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: you got to create all that same energy you had
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: on stage, but play it right, play it right in
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the frame, and you learn, like for example, I had
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I did uh. I did a show.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I did my first TV show called The Hustle and
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Aley know, I played like me and Alanael Alanoel plays
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: uh uh, he plays uh cold can his name, but
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: he played a cold Traine on Nemesis. That's the other
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: courting to Kent project that's doing this doing anyway, not
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Netflix right now, he's a he's the darkest skin god.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Shout to the line of well, so we we did
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: that show. We only did six episodes. I said, Man,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: it was number one a few small network, but.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: We it did well.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: The Hustle, Yeah, it's called the hustle. Next thing, you know, Uh,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I'm in the middle at this point. I'm now I'm
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: touring with Chris Tucker, and you know, we're doing work
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: in the clubs and doing the theaters or whatever.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: So, and that's a whole other story. But so then
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: when when Ballers, when we get through it, when Ballers
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: came around, we did five seasons of that, and and
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: even though that was number one on HBO, did you know,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Dwayne decided we wasn't that was it. So now it's like, well, dang,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: what I didn't know was that I wasn't supposed to
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: do six seasons or seven seasons of Ballers because raising
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Kanan was down down the way. That's why timing and
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: things just line up the way they do. I don't
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: know what's next, but I know that, you know, I
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: described it as earlier. It's like it's like bench pressing,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: like when you first kind of starting out, me start
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: off with a bar and then ten twenty fives and
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: you as you begin to get your reps, so you
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: start adding more weight that you can handle. And I
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: feel like raising Canaan was just was a whole gym session.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: It was a whole class for five seasons where I
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: got pressed in a way to demonstrate other sides than
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: me that I didn't even know. It was quite there,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Like Ballers wasn't emotional at all, you know what I mean.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: It was just a light comedy. But by season five,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: you know, Marvin was at a completely different place emotionally
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: than the other season exists. When those snacks evolved, it
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: was just it was just drama, which was cool because
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I wanted people to see this whole other side from
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: from even from stand up or from season one.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: When you look at Eating season two.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: In season five, Marvin is just at an emotionally different
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: place that I think the people felt. Because I was
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: at a different place, I couldn't have played Marvin, I
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: don't think ten years ago.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: There's like certain things you gotta grow.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I had to grow into who I am today to
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: even carry that kind of emotional weight with Marvin or
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: even understand what that is. You know, because I lost
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: a brother in twenty fifteen, So you know which is
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: which is wild? Yes, peace be upon him?
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Which is you know?
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: That's why Marvin in London or not, we're not that
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: far off from each other. Like I'm just if you
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: want to call it this. I'm like a healed version
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: of Marvin. I know I can't go around pistol whipping
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: people and or.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: You know, but I do understand why some people need
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: to get pistol whipped.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Oh man, Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: But you gotta As you get older, we realized consequences
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: to you change move a little differently. So but I
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: do understand, Marvin, Like I said, I used to I
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: used to cut here, like in rehab centers. So I
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: grew up around a lot of old g's, a lot
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: of casts that did time, had to come back home
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: halfway house figure it out. Who used to be dope
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: fiends and cleaned up, got their g R and so security.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: So people can't change. That's why even there's a scene
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: where Marvin was telling Sam the crack caase and man,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: take this money and just leave town. Get on the bus,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: because Rock was just like do what you gotta do.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: It was but Marvin understands. Because Marvin had had been
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: on drugs at one point, Marvin got again. We see
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: this empathy from Marvin. Marvin's like, listen, man, trying to
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: give you a chance because I know how we all
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: mess up. Take this money and just be out. Marvin
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: was trying throughout. Marvin really does try to be his
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: version of thorough. But that's why that was the chance
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: he gave Sam. But when he found Sam in the
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: crack house, he had knocked his hand off. He didn't
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: want he didn't want to do that. But it's just
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: principles at that point. So it's just a right, you
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: didn't pay attention.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: It's over.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: We gotta do what we gotta do. That's all. That's
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: all is.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: You know, I learned so much about you, man, because
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: the Buller's thing like you made me go back and
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: look at some more episodes of that and a five
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: year rent On that a five year rent On canan.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: But what I'm learning from you is I.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: Didn't know if you took acting classes or theater.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't know.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Speaking of that, not to cut you off, but the
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: reason that classes are so important is I think people
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: think we take acting classes or were training acting to
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: learn how to act, but we really are training to
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: learn how not to act and just just and just
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: live in the truth of these scenes. And I think
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: that even with that, a lot of times people think
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: that good acting is crying and all the emotions, but
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: it's really not it's really trying to not show all
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: of that. And we feel those things, but we're not,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to play those things externally. We're just
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: trying to just because when you when you when you
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: are really listening with the acting and you're in the scene,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: like London knows what he's gonna say, but Marvin don't know.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: So I gotta really just sit and listen and process that.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: The actors may say lines in a different different way
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: on the second take. Anyway, I can't go home and
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: practice with how I'm really gonna say it all. I
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: have to be I just I need to be present.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: And then the writers are so good it ain't hard
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: to escape into some of these circumstances. I'm sure if
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: y'all had to do some of them lines for Marvin,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: you know it ain't. You ain't got to go sitting
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: in the dark basement of an acting class and figure
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: out how I'm gonna feel pain or what. No, man, y'all,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: we've all been upset before, so you know when it's
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: time to that beat them. The only thing you wouldn't
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: need to do is just learn how to hold the punches,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: so you don't really put a nigga through the wall.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: But other than that, the anger of what Marvin felt, Yeah,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: we've all felt that stuff before, So I mean, they
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: just did a good job with writing it too.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: That's dope.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Man, it was great.
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: So let's rewind to how the hell you get on
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: tour with Chris Tucker.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: So I'm in LA.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: I'm in LA working clubs, working open micses. I'm just
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: working the scene and just getting my chops up. And
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I was in LA at the improv. I was going
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: to support one of my boys out of Atlanta's name
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: is Brendon Lewis, and we're both young comics at the time.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: And so when you do the improv, d Ray Davis
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: out of Chicago, when you do the improv on Monday
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: nights in LA, people, I think some comics think that
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: it's easy because it's like a black room.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: So because you black and they black, it shit just work.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: But that room, that's a hard room because they always
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: got TV casts in their drum by Michael Blason to
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Kevin Hart, you know, catch the hitters are in the
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: room and then an audience. They go there every Monday,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: so they want to see what they want to see. Anyway,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: I want to go support my boy Brandon Lewis. He
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: goes up there, does well. D Ray says, Actually, I
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: was trying to leave because I don't be hanging out.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: So I was trying to leave, and the guy at
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: the night of that night, Big Spiker, was like, hey, man,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: you always you always running off. You just I just
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: hang out sometimes said man, I'll be hanging out.
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: He said, man, just hang out. I was like, all right, whatever,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: so I stick around. D Ray David said, heyo has
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Chris Tucker senior set. I was like, nah, man, he said, man,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: you should you should let him see. I was say, no,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: he's working out. Chris Tucker's working out new material for
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: his tour.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to bother him.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: So then Dray was like, hey man, Chris, you should see.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: You should watch London. And so Chris, you know, I
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: go on stage and I do whatever my five minute
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: spill was, and we exchanged numbers and then you start
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: started going out on the road with him. So I
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: thank him for that experience because and just let me know,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: you know, it gave me something to aspire to work
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: towards because he I'm with him, and you like and
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: see y'all know this because you're around you know, y'all,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: y'are around fifty y'all be around people. But you know,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: sometimes the audience are you know, sometimes your friends or whatnot.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: They think they're around or seen some celebrities they may
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: have seen on TV. But when you around us, like
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: a real bona fide, like whatever room, they're going to
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: be red carpets.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Chris Is.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: I don't care what people thought he was.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: They say, because we ain't seen him on rush, I
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: already probably thought that he wasn't what the guy that
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: niggas the man he listened and they come outside with them,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: he hit that stage, they get all that confetti and
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: and and shiny dust on his coat on that lapel.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I mean when them lights hit that nigga, that audience
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: goes nuts. Well they so anyway, being that close to
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: him and just seeing like you know, because I used
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: to go out on tour, I was.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: I was chill.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I was, you know, throwing some some some jeans and
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: a shirt and the hat. But after like two days,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, nah, I need I need to dress
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: a little mold. Was this before Ballers and all this
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: is before ballers.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: Yep, I was gonna ask you how you go from
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: theater from.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Theater to stand up because theater, ultimately, theater is just
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: like stand up is just like theater. It's just a
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: one man act, you know what I mean. So the transition,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: I was already used to performing on stage, so that
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: stand up was just right.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: It was like cool.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I get the same feeling of the end, the audience energy,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: but it's just by myself. I get to go up
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: every night or whenever I want. So that's how that
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: that happened. But I have been I have been ready
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: to go. And like I said, with what stand up,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: as you describe certain jokes within your set, you gotta
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: do an act out. You gotta do like for example,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: for the audience. An acting is when you watch Kevin
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: har say a right or ride a ride and he
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: do his dad, and he do all the physical stuff
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: that his dad does or his friends do.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: That would be an act out.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: So that's why most most comics, a good portion of
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: comedians can do the acting thing because we kind of
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: do the characters within.
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: I said anyway, because like in theater, you can't make
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: mistakes because you've been saying Broadway place while. Yeah, because
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: I went to with fifty we seen Martin Luther King.
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: It was Angela Bassett and Samuel Jackson. Samuel Jackson is
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: one of my favorite actors, right, and it was great.
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: But you can't when you're on stage, you can't make
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: not one mistake. So I understand how the theater it
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: was easy. Comedy was easy for you.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but also even with theater sometimes you make mistakes.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: But you got to keep it going right.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: And that's my point.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: I say, you gotta look like it's not.
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: Have you ever seen a Broadway play make a mistake?
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: Me? I haven't known.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, they want to stand.
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: Something because I seen Michael Jackson, I've seen Martin Luther
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: King and a couple of other plays.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: But they made a mistake. I mean the line, I
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: could see it, but they're not going that would.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Be It's it's one of those things where those mistakes,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: like you mentioned, if they're professional enough, there's no way.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: But that's how people get fired. And he went up
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: there and said, hey, yay man, make sure you put
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: the shoes back in the buck and in the socks.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: He'd be like, and they's gonna go ahead, you got it,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: gonna let it go whatever it is. But I'm telling
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: you there's always somebody in the wings. I'm right there
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: to show my first my first even show, and my
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: stand in. First of all, he applied to be my standing.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: So for people don't know at home, my standing is
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: basically somebody's kind of like my same height and built.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: And while I go work on my lines and go
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: get a haircut or something, they set the actor stands
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: in my place, and they set the lights and the
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: queues and the cameras.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: So my stand in he got mad that they asked
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: him to do what he's there to do. And all
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: I know is that he went off. He was cursing,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: just going off.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: Hm.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: We took a lunch break that nigga was gone. It
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: came back.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, he was gone. And you know, especially
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: in the business, there's no arguments going on on set
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: It's just quiet and him doing.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: They're doing this niggas.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not with this guy. You know what I'm saying.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: It's etiquette, aque, you got it? Like that is what
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: I learned from from fifty from from my acting coach Wendy,
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: from from just being around movie sets as being on time,
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: not wilding on the set, not arguing, not saying I'm
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: gonna shoot people, And I shot people.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: I worked with to do that.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: People did real movie I worked on real movie sets
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: with Bruce Willis and people like that. This guy to
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: Bruce Willis, Bruce will Gas, that's one of my favorite movie,
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: but not the movie.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: Murder was all of that. Hards is bat out all
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: the movies you deal with Murder.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: Shout to Bruce Willers.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: I love some people getting so I love didn't even
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: say they work with Bruce Willers.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Man, it's a real thing, like again with them, because
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: time is money is money is time. Like them suits,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: they just be in the back and they don't they
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: don't say that. They just you know, they'll do a
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: little whisper, come back and somebody it's always somebody in
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: the wings, man, I'm telling it's always somebody look gunning
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: for your spot, and it's just no time for that.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: That's why again I'm raising Canaan. Everybody was cool. If
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: there was some sort of issue or dispute, we didn't
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: know everybody. I'm sure that there's disagreements on creative ideas,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: but everybody just keep it cool, keep it moved, and
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: were just trying to try to have a good time.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: And it was at least for me, I think for
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: most of us, it was for.
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: All expiring actors out there, because now everybody in the
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: hood want to be actors. They see fifties the next
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: uh scor right, yeah right? So what what advice would
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: you give them? Like what time? What's the day like
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: on set? Or you want set six am to till
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: ten o'clock, or like what's the day on raising king?
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Shoot man, Well, this is my this is my routine
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: on said I would I was probably study from usually
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I'll probably study from twelve to twelve to three am.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I might get a nap in from three to four,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: hit the gym five to six, get picked up and
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: on set by seven or so and going over the lines,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: get the hair cut, makeup, and all of this is
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: usually done like before eight o'clock, you and hair makeup
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: wherever they got to do. You might trying to get
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: your little breakfast in and then ultimately is what we
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: call this is like hurry up and wait. You be
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: dressed and have your stuff and you just you're in
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: the trailer and you know, they setting up setting up stuff,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: but it is a lot.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Of waiting around.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: But if you are lead, you ain't really got too
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: much time to be waiting around and even be going
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: over your stuff studying, because the last thing you want
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: to do is be on set with somebody like a
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: vet like a Tony or Samuel Jackson in your lines.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: You ain't got your material together.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: That's why I would lose sleep whatever you know, whatever sleeps,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: I said, Man, I'll get that back on the weekend,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: but let me stay up and just make sure or
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, just make sure I got the material,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: because there's no time for that. The last thing you
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: want to be is a guy that they said, all right,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: all right, cut cut cut.
• 53:23
