00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,760

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,920

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: Whenever you say you have to do something for your family,

62
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: always No, I understand that because family is important and

63
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: it makes a difference in everybody's life. Now your life,

64
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: you and I go back at least sixteen years. Yeah,

65
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: that's true. I'm thinking about the Steve Harvey years. I

66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: twenty years when he was coming to audisining for sitcoms.

67
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: He's coming in Sister Sister Jamie Fox more need and

68
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: you know for it's really when I look at your

69
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: look at your career, man, because you know, stand up comedy,

70
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: you've been uh basically won't say it, kind of like

71
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: a superhero in those Resident Evil movies. Uh, you know,

72
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: just a voice in the further that movie. Uh you uh,

73
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: you spook yourself and we were housewives of Hollywood and

74
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: now you're playing a doctor h your husb husband of

75
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: hospital Hollywood. And then you now you're playing a doctor

76
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: on Cold Black. Did did you see all that meant?

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: Did you see that journey shaping it? Stuff like that?

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: You know, you never know what God will bless you.

79
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: Was um. One thing that I can say that that's

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: been consistent in my life was that I've always had faith,

81
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: and then I've always been ready. So whatever opportunity presented

82
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: itself to me, I was able to take advantage. I

83
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: was able to take advantage of. But whether it was

84
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: a scholarship that I got to play tennants at ECU,

85
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: or modeling contract I had with Ford or then you know,

86
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: the acting world, I was always ready to take advantage.

87
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: And that's something that's been that's been a constant in

88
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: my life. And it's really important because he gets a

89
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: deal about boars and that you know and and he

90
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: and he knows me as a guy who I called

91
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: him a boar or can you do this? I remember

92
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: when Steve was going on vacation, I would call him

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: because you sit in Because I always felt he was

94
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: just just super talented guy. And the way you get

95
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: to be typecast is you do things that people don't

96
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: consider normal. And I always felt when the show and

97
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: just showed a different side of him for four hours,

98
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: because people go, when people ask me, you got bars

99
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: co host to your show, go hey, hey, hey, hey, Chill,

100
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm the producer. I created this show. I can do

101
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: what I want to do and just and so and

102
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: I felt that I felt that you was funny, you

103
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: was articularly your interview, and I always felt, man, that

104
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: what I see now is when I saw way back then.

105
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: And I'm so proud of you, man, And when every time, anyway,

106
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: when I saw you on the Real Husband's Hollywood acting

107
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: like a food I want this boys, he LUs is

108
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: buying that. So how did that come? How did that

109
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: come about? You in proving with Kevin Hart on a

110
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: crazy show on BT. Yeah, well, you know, my one

111
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: of my best friends is Chris Spencer. Yes, yes, yes,

112
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: I know Christ Yes, And we were talking about this

113
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: a long time ago and he wanted to put this together.

114
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: And and you know one thing that a lot of

115
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: people don't notice that we were all real friends. You know, Kevin, Dwayne, Nelly,

116
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: we're all friends, and we used to hang out the

117
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: same way that you saw it on TV. And uh so,

118
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: so that the show wasn't a big stretch. It's just

119
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: that it gave us a creative license to just act

120
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: the full because you know, this is a hyper real

121
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: version of who we are. And uh but it was

122
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: fun because we got to you know, we got to

123
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: hang out with each other again, spend some time together.

124
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: So this is this has been one of the most

125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: satisfying sort of things that I've done in my career

126
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: because it's it was just it came down, it was right,

127
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: and that's that's that's what I liked about it. And

128
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: I liked about it because it was seeing you in

129
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: that light because you know, you're You're and your wife

130
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: Nicole Erry Parker had done a sitcom together and so

131
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: that was really your first you know, you know, you know,

132
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: because you've done comedic roles and uh, but this is

133
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: the first time you were starting in the comedic sitcom

134
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: and then and then you turn around you and this

135
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: this a blown out funny off, you know, off the

136
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: wall popular because I ran into parents, I ran into

137
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Hard he was over there syndicated in myth so

138
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: it would be syndicated you. So this was a worldwide phenomenon,

139
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: real houses of Hollywood. And so with that being said,

140
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: how did that help your brand doing that show? You know? Um,

141
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: I think it's to uh the diversity that I could

142
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: bring the table. Because when you first start out in Hollywood, Um,

143
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: the first role you play that that garners you some

144
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: some uh some some some notoriety, if you will. Uh,

145
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: The studios tend to studios tend to book you, or

146
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: want to cast you for the same roles over and

147
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: over again. So if you're not careful, you end up

148
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: in a in a box and you end up being

149
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: labeled a certain a certain way. So anytime I was

150
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: able to stretch and do something that people didn't expect

151
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: me to do, I took advantage of it, you know,

152
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: because that's how people That's how people learn how versatile

153
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: you are. You know. I graduated with a business degree

154
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: and and I never used it until I came to Hollywood,

155
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: and then I figured out, Okay, look, I'm more than

156
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: an actor. I'm I'm a brand. I'm a brand. So

157
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: I have to I have to. I have to approach

158
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: my career like I would if I was development a brand.

159
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: So part of that development is being as versusile as

160
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: you can to you know, show yourself in a different

161
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: light to make people understand that you can You're not

162
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: a you know, one trick pony. And I think I've

163
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: accomplished that with with roles like you know real Husband's Well,

164
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you also, the big role at least

165
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: I really was the eye turner for me. When you

166
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: got the the NBC show Undercover, it was Undercover right

167
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: when you played it undercover spy man, I'm to you something.

168
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: When I saw you, I went, my boy, you know,

169
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy because you know, I know you,

170
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: you just I know you as bores Okay, when you

171
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: got that role, I was like, wow, mm hmm he started.

172
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: That was a great. Yeah, that was a great It

173
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: was a great yeah. J J. Abrahams it was great.

174
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: It was a really really great show. It was it

175
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: was well, it was um And so they canceled the

176
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: show after the first season and we had almost nine

177
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: million years, which which which nowadays they would they would

178
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: kill for nine million years. Nowadays, it was like, guys,

179
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: they had four or five millions. So it's just it's

180
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: just a testament to to how Hollywood works or or

181
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: you know, how it doesn't work. Sometimes it's it's about timing,

182
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: it's about it's about things. Sometimes that doesn't make a

183
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: lot of sense, you know, I want to uh, at

184
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: the time it was, it was probably if you think

185
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: about it, that was almost ten years ago. So um,

186
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we were a little bit ahead of our time,

187
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: and maybe that's would hurt us, you know, because if

188
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: you look at the if you look at the TV

189
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: atmosphere right now and the show like on the coverage

190
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: come on, that would sit perfectly into what's going on

191
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: right now. Absolute, especially on Netflix, especially on Netflix. Yeah,

192
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: oh no, absolutely, and no doubt, no doubt this show

193
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: would go on forever. Um. But you know, it's it's

194
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: part of it's part of the journey. You know, something's

195
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: uh you know, sometimes the timing is right and sometimes

196
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: the timing is off. He just kind of rolled with

197
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: the country and then and then he was when it

198
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: was at my house, I was going, I was talking,

199
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: I go because he started Resident Evil and I said,

200
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: I said, you survived. He said, yes, rush go back

201
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: and look, and then he went on. Then he went

202
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: on uh Internet, and he foiled the clip to show

203
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: he survived because you did too, Resident Evils. Correct, Yes,

204
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. And everybody usually, you know, usually

205
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: usually the black guy died. When I signed on, I

206
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: made sure I made sure that I would survive. I

207
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: don't know I lived. I lived because he goes into

208
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: the whole and there's nothing but uh tho was there

209
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: was h those zombies down there, so it's no way

210
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: he could live. There was no way I knew he

211
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: was dead. He survived. He showed me the clip he survived,

212
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: and you did two episodes that when we come back,

222
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm back on the line of Boris Cojoe good friend

223
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: of mine. Um. Uh incredible father, incredible husband, an incredible person. Uh,

224
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur. That's what I love about it because uh

225
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: in he just started a custom clothing line and uh

226
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: tell everybody about it. Uh you been You've been telling

227
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: me about it for years. Did what you saw it

228
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: with your brother? Correct? Of course, that's that's right. My

229
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: brother Patrick and he brought the concept to me and

230
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: it was basically um putting, putting the notion of customer

231
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: suits and shirts on his head because traditionally, owning a

232
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: custom suit or shirt is something that not a lot

233
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: of people can afford because it's so expensive. So we

234
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: wanted to We wanted to cater to the other people

235
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: who deserve to have suits and shirts that fit. So

236
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: we created World of Alpha, which is online custom suits

237
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: and shirts manufacturer, and you basically go online to World

238
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: of Alpha dot com, you pick your fabrics, UH, you

239
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: pick your styles, and you walk through different design options

240
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: and you actually design your own suit online. Um, we

241
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: have hundreds of different fabrics, we have tons of different

242
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: design options. Is a there's a measuring page where you

243
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: can put your measurements, and if you don't have your measurements,

244
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: there's a little video to teach iss you how to

245
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: how to get those measurements done. You get your honest measurements,

246
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: put you in for in there, and twenty five days

247
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: later you get your suit or your shirt in the mail.

248
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: And we launched. Yeah, we launched about eight eight years
