60
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm appreciative, you know. I was able, very very

61
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: early on to watch very successful people, and as you said,

62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: not just successful financially, but success mentally, since that's spiritually.

63
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: And what I found is that that comes from um

64
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: what we do often. You know, what's done in the dark,

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: is done is shown in the light. So when you're

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: working when nobody can see you, then it gets shown

67
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: in the light. I believe those people are are the

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: blessed ones. And UM, so I don't I don't wait

69
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: for anybody to acknowledge me or recognize me. They'll see

70
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: the work, um when it appears. But the work has

71
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: to be done when nobody is watching. Well, guess what

72
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,000

00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: and Response. So what that simply means is my work

110
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: is now speaking for itself. And I've been blessed to

111
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: be in the role of Detective Ryan on the Double

112
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: Cross series UM which is as I said again, on

113
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: the UMC network. We have six episodes there and it's

114
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: the first of this kind. This type of show has

115
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: never been seen before, and it's one of those thrillers

116
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: shows that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

117
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: UM and I think impactful shows because of the topic

118
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: at hand. And so again it's it's it's something that

119
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: I'm very very proud of and we are already looking

120
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: forward to the second season and are greenlet in the

121
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: second season. Wow, that's really good. Important because I always

122
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: tell Peo about the entertainment business because there's so much uncertainty,

123
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: and when you see you have a check coming, you

124
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: can kind of breathe a little, relax a little bit

125
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: and say, hey, man, I gotta I gotta check coming,

126
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: because I can plan differently. Well, sometimes I've been on

127
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: shows where you're thinking about to do twenties episodes and

128
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: over after three because I stay uncertainty of this basin

129
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: And how how have you mentally been able to deal

130
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: with that over the years? Darn well? You know I learned,

131
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: as I said, very early on, I had the ability

132
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: to work with Michael Jackson with prints, you know, as

133
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: most people know. You know, I created the dance steps

134
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: for Instincts by Bye Bye, worked with Britney Spears, worked

135
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: with Christina Aguilera and k Class. Yes, so very early

136
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: on I learned to manage money and and and and

137
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: there was a saying, you know, you can work hard

138
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: for your money or you can make your money work

139
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: hard for you. You know, masterp Uh talked about that

140
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: all the time. And so when you when you have

141
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: great mentors, um and and in society you can see

142
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: other people's failures. That's a great teacher as well. And

143
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: so I've been able to um you know, do what

144
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: I was told to do, which is make my money

145
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: work for me and not disrespect the process of money.

146
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Money is a currency. It needs to keep flowing. So

147
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: investments were important to me. Giving to the right people

148
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: at the right times were important to me. And then

149
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: being a blessing to people is incredibly important. Not throwing

150
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: away money, but blessing the right people where it becomes

151
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: a seed that gets planted and rooted, which germinates and

152
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: grows into a tree that produces food that creates other seeds.

153
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: So for those people who are are spiritual in this thought,

154
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, that way, that way

155
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: you don't have to be of those who are who

156
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: are just surviving, but you could be thriving because of

157
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: things that you have done that speak for you in

158
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: the past. It's really amazing when I look at the

159
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, when I say amazing, I mean when we

160
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: were younger. You know, we we don't see it, we

161
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: don't We're just doing it. We're just doing it. As

162
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: you get older, you know, the opportunity to get less

163
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: and less, because that's what getting old in Hollywood does

164
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: to you. And you appreciate the moments that you get,

165
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: but you really get that moment from your resume or

166
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: your body of work. That's why it's important the relationships

167
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: that you cultivated going on set to being a professional,

168
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: being showing up on time, being dependable. That's what really

169
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: what we're talking about on this call is that your

170
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: career and the and the quality of work, the quality

171
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: of respect and the professionals is what's keeping you in

172
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: the business along with your talent. But sometype talents could

173
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: be usurved because of ignorance. That's right. Talentar will only

174
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: take you so far. I mean you, you and I

175
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: we have seen each other many different times, you know,

176
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: along the years, and one of the things that is

177
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: important is you you got to know that talent can

178
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: only get you so far. You have to have great

179
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: work ethic. You also have to have great relationships that

180
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: you consistently build. In this industry, you know, there's the

181
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: same each one teach one, maybe we can reach one.

182
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: And what we know um in this universe is the

183
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: continent is change. People are changing from high positions all

184
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: the time. You know, ceo CEOs of company are always interchanging.

185
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: So relationships are very very important. And then your mind

186
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: developing is very important because nothing stays the same. You know,

187
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: technology is growing, so there are people. Imagine being a

188
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: person who uses a typewriter today in the day of

189
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: computer Imagine a person who just mails things, you know,

190
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: overseves a post to sending an email which gets in

191
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, a person's uh inbox in a nanosecond. So

192
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: you you you've got to consistently grow in society and

193
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: growing you have to grow mentally, physically, spiritual, well not physically,

194
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: but you know, you have to grow mentally and spiritually

195
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: and and economically in order to thrive in today's market space.

196
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: And and it takes cultivation and relationships in order to

197
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: do that. Well, you know, it's really important that you

198
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: say that. And it also talks about understanding multiple strains

199
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: of income. And that's why that's why you brought up

200
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: to dancing. He was acting, dancing, other opportunities, modeling all

201
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: kinds of things that keep that check flowing. And now

202
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: you're moving to another line of being an entrepreneur in

203
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: the in the clothing line area. Talked to us about

204
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: that and why was it important to to go in

205
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: that direction with your career with your brain? Well, you know,

206
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: sustainability is incredibly important, and UM, you know when it

207
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: comes to housing, you know, investment properties are important. UM,

208
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: reinvestment of the money that you have, right, because inflation happens. Right,

209
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: it costs more for a local bread today than it

210
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: did five years ago. Of course, more for milk today

211
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: than it did five years ago. Of course, more for

212
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: water today than it did five years ago. And so

213
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: sustainability is incredibly important. And so one of the things

214
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: that I realized was UM. And this came after UM,

215
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: a very close friend of mine, UM experienced a death

216
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: in the family, a suicide, and it was because of UM,

217
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, them not being able to handle levels of

218
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: difficulty and just stress and and and unfortunately she committed suicide.

219
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: And I said, man, I've got to do something now.

220
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: People know that I speak, you know, long and strong.

221
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: I speak you know, for companies UM doing their brand

222
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: marketing campaigns. I speak in colleges, University's HBC used. But

223
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: one of the things that I said is I can't

224
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: be everywhere at one time, which is why I started

225
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: to offer books. But then I thought, then, you know

226
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: people love wearing shirts that had things on them. So

227
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I came up with the idea. I was blessed with

228
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: this idea of being a billboard for God, and I said,

229
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: I want to be a billboard for God. So I

230
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: named the company God's Billboard T Shirts, And so I

231
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: created God's Billboard T shirts. One of the T shirt

232
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: to say I am more than enough and I approved

233
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: this message the other because people need to know that

234
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,359
Speaker 1: they're more than enough. You don't You don't need anybody

235
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: to say you're you're validated. And when I thought about yeah,

236
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: when I thought about that, I was like, oh, here

237
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: it is. I'm already validated by the most Time. I

238
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: don't need your approval. And so that's another T shirt.

239
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: So I am more than enough. I approved this message.

240
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: I am validated by the most high I don't need

241
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: your approval. Is my other T shirt. One of the

242
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: other T shirts says I'm a spiritual warrior. I cite

243
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: my battles through prayer. You see, So be a T

244
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: shirt that let the shirts do to talking and their

245
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: power words that's what we call the empower words, right,

246
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: that empower you, And it was it was interesting. I

247
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: head this lady one time. This guy was talking to

248
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: this woman and he was like, well, well, sister, tell

249
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: me how old you are. She said, you know, you

250
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: never asked a woman's age, And I thought, I said,

251
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: you know what, yeah? Or their wait, and I said,

252
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: you know what, good things take time, so don't ask

253
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: my age. That's another T shirt that I have and

254
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: women love that T shirt and I just thought, I've

255
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: heard women over the say, you know, a gentleman never

256
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: asked a woman as an age, and so I created

257
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: the shirt that says, good things take time, so don't

258
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: ask my age. So God's Billboard T shirt is about

259
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: being a billboard or God and about being empowered. And

260
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: so you let your shirt do the talking and so

261
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: people know, you know, when when you speak, you put

262
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: your brain on display. So I just thought, sometimes we

263
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: don't want to ask to say anything, so we can

264
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: let our shirts do the talking. So that's what we

265
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: do at God's Billboard t shirts dot com. We let

266
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: our shirts do the talking. Well, my friend, I want

267

291
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: about the second season and what we wanted to do is,

292
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, Duncan's are very wealthy family. That's a very

293
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: astute family, very well respected family and UM and you know,

295
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: him with his toothpick and we always see I ask

Speaker 1: beats that he wears these precious stones around his neck.

299
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: We always see him in that. And so that is

300
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: that is something that I wanted to bring to the

301
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,680

302
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna unfold during the season. And and and so we

303
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: talked about the second season and holding because you know,

304
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: you get more money, and we know more money, more problems.

305
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: But at the same time is you know, he's not

306
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: a flashy dude, but he's a very confident dude. And

307
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: sold the second season, we just decided to you know,

308
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: style them up a little bit more, make them a

309
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,399

346
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: premiere episode, the premium episode, the suit jacket you had

347
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: on was one of my suits, one of my material

348
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: right there, so I know she, I know where she

349
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: got that from. Then you had that fur coat on,

350
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: that furk on, that half fur coat on. Then you

351
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: had that yellow jacket, man, that was cool yellow jack.

352
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: Then you had that orange jacket. Man. All I know

353
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: is man that I knew they stepped up because I

354
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: saw the first season and I came back because that's

355
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: the first thing I got to ask, darn man, your clothing,

356
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: you know, is outstanding. It fits your brand, it fits

357
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: the it fits the killer and the sexy guy that

358
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: you are because you're not trying to look like you

359
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: trying to. But I expect that to be you exactly.

360
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: Orlando is a diversified man. And as I said, you know,

361
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: when he walked into a room, you know, all eyes

362
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: turned to him, and that's really what it's about. You know,

363
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: when he shows up, he's making a statement. So every

364
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: time he makes a move. If you remember when he

365
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: wore the jacket the fur, his father else said, what

366
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: is that? He says, it's my coat. He says, but

367
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: what is it? He said, Yeah, but I look good

368
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: and it's all right, you know what I mean. So

369
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: it's like he can do that. Yeah, you know, and

370
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: he said, he said, yeah, you're the boss, and he's said, yeah,

371
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: you're right, I have the boss. And so you know

372
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: he does things the way he wants and you know

373
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: he always walks with his protection in case anybody wants

374
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: to act up or act out. And so you know,

375
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: Orlando is the cats that he's quiet, but he's always

376
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: aware of his round, is what he's doing, where he's going,

377
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: and the things that he can't control. You know, he

378
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: makes sure that he puts himself in a position to understand, um,

379
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: what he must do next. It was always good. He hasn't.

380
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking to Darrend Watson. He has a show on

381
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 1: u mc uh the streaming right now, already been renewed

382
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: called Double Cross, but we're talking about this new series

383
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: that's airing right now on BT Plus. It's called The

384
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: Family Business. He's a member of the Duncan family, which

385
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: is a powerful family that rides through Duncan Motors. That's

386
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: what everybody says. It's exotic cards. But at night they

387
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: got a sister. Where you got we got London, you

388
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: got pairs their sisters. Then you got Sasha, she's the niece.

389
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the sexiness is great. But before we

390
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: get into those characters, how did you get the opportunity

391
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: to get this role? Darren? Yeah, it's it's amazing because

392
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: Tridestine Films actually UH produces the oh and um and

393
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: you know, I I have a relationship with Endy and

394
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: Trey and Veronica and and uh and you know, I

395
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: remember I created this vision board. You know, as as

396
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: I said, Darrende with Henson is a man who likes

397
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: to evolve, darrend with Henton as a man who likes

398
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: to grow and diversify. And I remember one day sitting

399
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: down and I said, I need to create a new

400
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: vision board. So I sat down and I wrote out

401
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: this vision board, and I thought about people that I

402
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: wanted to work with, and um, you know, I had

403
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of different names on the vision board and

404
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: it was it was amazing because I wrote Armanda Santy

405
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: on my vision board. He did this movie years ago

406
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: called Mambo King and UH with Anthonio Vendett. I said,

407
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: I loved that film, that film, and so I put

408
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: Armanda Santy on my vision board one of the people

409
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 1: I put on my vision board to work with. About

410
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: three weeks later, I get a call from Andy Brown.

411
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: She said, brother, I got something for you. I said,

412
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: talk to me Andy. She said, you know we're working

413
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: with car Webb. We did it there with car Webb

414
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: for all of his books. And we're gonna be shooting

415
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: a movie for family Business, and we want you to

416
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: play the son of Ernie Hudson. And I said, come on,

417
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: I said, stopped playing with me? And she said no,

418
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: she said, and she explained about the exotic car business

419
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: and of course the underground business. And I said, Andy,

420
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: send me the script. I want to read it. I said,

421
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: but based upon what you what you're saying, I can

422
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: almost tell you you know what I'm saying. This is

423
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: something I'm gonna love to do. I said, tell me

424
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: who else is involved? She said, get this out of

425
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 1: mind Asante. I said, come on, man, and see. So

426
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: that's why it's important to write down your vision and

427
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: make it plain, because the law of attraction is very,

428
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: very real. And when I got the script, I've read it.

429
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you you just don't say no. It's like

430
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: There'll Washington being given the American Gangster script, like you

431
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: just don't say no. And when I got the script,

432
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: I read it. I called to back the next day

433
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: and I said, I'm in. And so immediately it was

434
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: Ernie Huston, Valley Pediford, Amanda Sante you know, and and

435
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the cat and I became Orlando Duncan

436
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: when the contracts were signed and the history of the

437
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: family business, uh and call Weathers the family Business Tried

438
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: Destined had begun. And then of course b Et picked

439
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: it up as a series because we were shooting it

440
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: for a movie, I know, but b Et fell in

441
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: love with it and said, no, we want this as

442
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: our series. And then when b Et signed it in

443
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: the Family Business premiered, it became like the super Bowl

444
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: Champs for b T Man. I'm just telling you that. Uh,

445
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: you know, I've watched the series grow from the first episode.

446
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: I watched the characters developed, and I can see the

447
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: more the money being invested into the series and all

448
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: that stuff. You know. Listen. The two things I really

449
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: like about the series some of the things that you

450
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: guys have dropped into this series that I don't normally see.

451
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: I love that NASCAR diversity episode. Mm hmmm. I thought

452
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: that was small and very time to talk about that. Yeah,

453
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: it's genius. It's it's again it's the mind of car

454
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: Webber and bringing NASCAR into it. You know, NASCAR now

455
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: as black drivers, so why not acknowledge NASCAR and and

456
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: their diversity program, and that's exactly what we talked about

457
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: on the show. You know, diversification is incredibly important and UM,

458
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: so they brought that in which which also brings a

459

Speaker 1: much larger audience in you know, NASCAR is huge and

460
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: UM and and to speak about the genius of Car Webber.

461
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: As you can see, we also have Latino players on

462
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: the show. UM. You know Yadi Rivera who plays Consuela

463
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: Mario Rivera is on the show. You know what I'm saying.

464
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: We got we got Luke, we got Luski Um on

465
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,919

00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: um you know his his his role as signor cruise UM.

467
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,479
Speaker 1: You know who's now in a wheelchair. UM. It's just

468
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's diversification on the show. You know, it's

469
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: a diversified um. UM A lot on the show, actors

470
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: on the show, and it appears to everybody. You know,

471
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: the first season we had you know, Asian people on

472
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: the show. And so you know Carl Weber and his mind,

473
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: um and his genius um in writing, UM, and then

474
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: Trey Haley's directing. It is just it really just goes

475
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: hand in hand with the genius that we know to

476
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: be the family business. And it's all held together by

477
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: you know, super producer you know, Andy Brown, absolutely, you know. Yeah.

478
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: And then then another thing that I noticed about the

479
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: series was the use of the Nation of Islam type

480
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: style the brothers. Yeah, that I've never seen that, I've

481
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: never seen like this in a series, and I thought

482
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: that was very uniquely put in there and style and

483
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: poignedly placed. Talk about that. Yeah, well, we have two

484
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: different types of brothers on the show. We have the

485
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: Um with all due respect, with all due respect, we

486
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: have you know, the type UM that we see on

487
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: the show, Um, which we call um Um brother minister,

488
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: who was presents a similar type, a similar type Nation

489
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: of Islam. And then you have the extremist UM that

490
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: brother in the Trench, Yeah, brother Hector in the Trench

491
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: character who's you know, just extreme and street and you know,

492
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: jail written and vigilantes, which is completely different from the

493
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: representation of the brother brother minister, who's the peaceful um

494
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: organized um you know, you know, type of Muslim UM.

495
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: And you know, so that is more of a Nation

496
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: of Islam type that he represents. And we can see

497
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: that even Orlando took instruction and was under He's always

498
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: take that advice and it's served him well all over

499
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: the years. Absolutely, and we can see the chemists. He's educated.

500
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: You know, he's a man of respect and honor. So

501
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: we can see that, you know, show on the show. Wow,

502
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, I want to get a little bit deeper

503
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: into this. Uh. As you know, I'm a fan of

504
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: the show. As you can tell, I'm talking to uh

505
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 1: darrend with with Wins Darren d with Henson. Excuse me,

506
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: I got tongk tired after d with I apologized, Darren,

507
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: But on the family Business, let's talk about you know

508
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: some of the people I love on this. You got

509
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: Tretch on the show, Lisa Ray on the show, My

510
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: boy got killed with Clifton Pile on the show. Valerie Petroford,

511
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: she's on the playing the Mama Charlotte on the show.

512
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: Just just what of course, Ernie Hudson being the LC

513
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: and my boy Michael John White he's in jail, he

514
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: plays Vegas. Just just just a great, great talent man.

515
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: It's just out there. And Parish I think she just

516
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: got cast as the new batwoman for c W. And

517
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: so you know they're stealing talent from the show. Now

518
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, that's amazing. You know, try Destin has

519
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: done such a good eight job by bringing you know,

520
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: people together. You know, Michael Ji White and I are

521
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 1: very close with like brothers in real life, so he

522
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: was a perfect pick to play my brother um Vegas

523
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: in the show. And then of course our patriarch Ernie

524
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: Hudson and our matriarch Valley Pediford are just I mean,

525
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: value and Ernie together um as as husband and wife

526
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: on the show are just I don't think it just

527
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: gets any better. And when when when she kicked Sanya

528
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: at the house, man I was I was saying, I

529
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: don't know if he watched these other scenes, but boy,

530
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: that's about the coldest seed I've seen a woman dude

531
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: on TV to another woman. We've already voted her as

532
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: an Emmy winner as far as we're concerned, I swear

533
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: to you that's seen right there. She should get an

534
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: Emmy called right she said, We're we're done here with

535
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: the with the battery. That that says right there. I

536
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: gotta get on the show to talk about that scene

537
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: that right there alone, because because for the show, the

538
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: reason it works is a family show. We all live

539
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: in the same house. Y'all know, y'all deal, you're dealing

540
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: with danger, we know. And the thing I like about

541
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: usually you see the white series, make this happen, make

542
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: it work like this, And to see a black series

543
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: accomplished what we see all TV all the time, like

544
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: the Sopranos and all the Godfather shows that are touchable shows,

545
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: all these shows, and to see it being manipulated so

546
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: well and being articulated and bring credibility because I'm telling you, brother,

547
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, when they dropped six episodes, I think the

548
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: last second I watched them, I watched them, okay, and

549
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: waiting for seven whenever that comes out. I don't know

550
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: when that's dropping, but they need to hurry up because

551
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: your boy when waiting. Look, we look, we're waiting to

552
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: get back to work. But I gotta tell you when

553
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: we were on that when she did that scene, the

554
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: whole set was quiet. It was like, yeah, it was

555
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: like every everybody. Everybody moved and walked away because it

556
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: was like nobody was getting their hug when she had

557
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: that knife in her hand, because everybody felt it. That's man,

558
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: let me tell you, she made everybody walk out that

559
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: house I'm gonna tell you that right now. And so

560
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: that's what you get on the Family Business. You get

561
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: people who come to work, you get people who come

562
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: to play, you get people who come to lay it down.

563
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: The Duncans ain't playing. Nobody came to to to to

564
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: fall asleep. We came to put into the work and

565
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: to create legacy on the show. And you know, I

566
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: was telling somebody this the other day. I said, you know,

567
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: Lightning has struck, you know, twice for me when it

568
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: comes to family shows. You know, Star was blessed to

569
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: get soul full and now I'm on the Family Business,

570
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: which is which is the strong, beautiful, charismatic not to

571
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: be messed with family. Lightning has truly struck twice for me,

572
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: and so for me it's something that I really again,

573
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm incredibly proud of to work with these actors. You know,

574
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: we got Tammy on the show, we got Michael. Let's

575
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: talk about let's talk about the right quick old Tammy's

576
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: character because I like what you guys did with our character.

577
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: Because in the in the pilot episode, Harris hit her.

578
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, so I thought she's gonna play an abusive woman.

579
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: But the new season she's not taking that stuff. I

580
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: like the fact they made her strong because, like they said,

581
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: like Junior said, before there was Paris, there was London.

582
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: She's a duncan. She was, She's a dunk and that

583
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: could only go on for so long. And you see,

584
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: she had a out of marital affair. Um and but

585
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: we got to see what happened when that happens. You know,

586
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: she she had an out of matter affair. But then

587
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: look what happened. Look who he was, you know what

588
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So then yeah, so that that that was

589
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: a lesson for her too, like don't don't step out

590
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: of your barried what you ain't gonna mess with me? Man,

591
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: act like I don't know your show. Brother, Okay, you

592
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: call the day calling every day? Hey man. And I

593
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: got to man because I was supporting this. Man, I'm

594
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: supporting this. I just when I said, I when I

595
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, I'm busy a lot and

596
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: I saw these problems. Said it's my boy key character.

597
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: Hey there, I said, Yeah, I said, we gotta get

598
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: him on the show. I said, he find him. I

599
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: got to talk to him this show on fire. When

600
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: Uncle Lou died, you know, Lisa he really lost our

601
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: blood had when when when Valerie came over there and

602

Speaker 1: snatched off our head. I'll tell you some Sasha. You

603
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: know the reason I like these characters. You guys are busy,

604
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: not just on family business, but y'all working on other

605

Speaker 1: the fact, man, I just wanted to bring you on

608
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,279
