So 70 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: when we worked, we had good chemistry and it was 71 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: already you know, that energy was already there and it 72 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: just carried over to the film. 73 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: Even though we played two opposites. 74 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: It's like, it's crazy chemistry that we need for the 75 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: protagonists antagonists And who my Dallasy is. He's a he's 76 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: a bad. He's a wild boy. He's crazy, but that's 77 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: necessary in film. You need that crazy dude. 78 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna say, you know, for people that that 79 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: don't know it just came out today, tell people what 80 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: the film is about. 81 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: Two divorced couples going through you know, different gist of families. 82 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: My family sports me, but even though I'm wrong, they 83 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: never tell me I'm wrong. You know, which is not right? 84 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: You got you know, your family. I was by your side, 85 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: but no, you gotta tell him he's wrong. And Dallas 86 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: just didn't know how to treat people. And I think 87 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: it stems from his childhood trauma dealing with you know, 88 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: his different abuse that he's went through, and he's never 89 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: knew how to heal and never knew how to treat people. 90 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: So when you don't deal with that, like mental health issues, 91 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: it carries over into your adult life. 92 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: And that's what happened with him. 93 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: So he loved her, but he didn't know how to 94 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: and he you know, he kind of sabotaged the marriage 95 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: even before it got. 96 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: Going and she had to leave. It was enough, you know, And. 97 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: I like, outside Corey looking at that situation, I'm like, 98 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: she gotta be happy got to do what's best for you, 99 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: and that's his character. 100 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: She did that. Aba. 101 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: So do you feel like y'all got typecasted because you 102 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: know both of y'all did go through high profile divorces. 103 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: No, I don't think so.

I have a Miss Debbie Morgan, know, Miss 234 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: Debbie Morgan, and I'm and I had to grab her. 235 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: I had to call out a name and she's like, baby, 236 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 3: grab me, like she grabbed my hand. And when she 237 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: did that, then I did not grab her. 238 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: That's interesting because you said you studied, uh, you know, 239 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: Laurence Fishburn and what's love got to do with it 240 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: as opposed to studying real thinks that you probably could 241 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: watch like you mean, I don't want I'm not saying 242 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just saying that I'm sure that. Sadly, 243 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: there's videos out there actually domestic you know, so I like, 244 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: but I was a character, you know, so that's not 245 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: Laurence Fishburn, and I'm playing a character. 246 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: So people should know the difference. So when I watched them. 247 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: Oh no, I know they know the difference. But like 248 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: when you're when you're tapping into something as an actor, 249 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: is it better to tap into something you see somebody 250 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: do on screen already or real life? No, I haven't 251 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: seen that, like in real life, you know, real life 252 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: domestic violence. So no, I have not, but I can 253 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: go to film and watch it, you know. That's why 254 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: I pulled from most of the time the movies. 255 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 2: Now you've been doing this for for over thirty years. Yes, sir, 256 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: Now you just said something that made me think, is this. 257 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 4: What you always did? 258 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: Right? 259 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 4: You said?

That's just because he 452 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: didn't want me to make the same mistakes that he made. 453 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: And being aware, I believe the first generation that gets 454 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: the luxury of healing. We have to show, show, show 455 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: how to lead, how to parent with love and not fear. Yes, 456 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: I agree, it's all about love and fear because you 457 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: do crazy things out of fear and it won't. It's 458 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: just like that can't be healthy. So you gotta move 459 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: with love. You gotta move with the good, pure intentions. 460 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: And like I said, but you gotta tell you.

It's made over billions of dollars. 649 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 1: But like you say, I haven't really been visible. Now 650 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm like I got a publicist. Now she's here, Michelle, 651 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: if I got a manager sailor, like, I got some 652 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: strong black women behind me. 653 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 4: So it's like, did you not have that before? 654 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 3: Nah? I didn't didn't have it. 655 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: Oh that's why you hesitate when I asked you what 656 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: the support system look like when you say you're working on. 657 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 3: It, Yeah, I'm working. This is all new. 658 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: I've known them both for a while, but this is new, 659 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: and they're you know, they're like my community who's trying 660 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: to inspire encourage me. So sometimes it's still hard for 661 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: me to believe it who I am. And that because 662 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: you because you lost your mom, that's at your early age. 663 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 3: I would say that's some of it. 664 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm just dealing lost my brother like fourteen years ago 665 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: to gun violence in Chicago. That's why Chicago, when we 666 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: bring that up, is kind of like a touchy, you know, 667 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: because that brings back memories of tragedy and pain, you 668 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: know when I think about Chicago, but it is, you know, 669 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: it happened, and you know, I just I'm doing my 670 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: to honor them to this day. And I mean I 671 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 1: lost my stepdad a few years ago as well, who's 672 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,479 Speaker 1: like my dad as well. So it's just been a 673 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: lot it's been a lot, and then you know everyone 674 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: knows the other thing, and so it gets tough, but 675 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: it is what it is. Do you have to adjust 676 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: to bringing people around because you probably condition yourself to 677 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: be such a I'm closing owner. Yeah, I don't trust nobody, 678 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: like it takes a while to get into like my 679 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: space or you know, just to let you in there. 680 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: So I'm like I said when I said I'm working 681 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: on it, I'm really like working on it now, like today. 682 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 3: But I do see light at the end of the tunnel. 683 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: I feel like it's clear's day now, like. 684 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: Where I'm going, Like I've developed strength, like a certain 685 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: strength where I feel like I can't nothing stop me. Now. 686 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: I'm actually stronger than I've ever been at this moment 687 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: in my life. I'm always scared for actors, though only because, 688 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: like you know, they always say staying busy as the 689 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: response to trauma. And when you're acting, you totally escape yourself. 690 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: You don't even have to be you or deal with you. 691 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: So when you not active and you finally got to 692 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: just sit down and deal with you, oh my gut, right, 693 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: you're right, I mean, yeah, because I give it all 694 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: into the camera.
