49
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: been like to get to where you are now?

50
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: It's definitely been a lot different. Like when I was

51
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: eight years old, acting was something I wasn't even thinking

52
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: about really, you know. Acting was like I believe I

53
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 3: got a script handed to me. If like they were

54
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: auditioning for like the local like Lion King play, and

55
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: they hit me a script like yeah, they auditioned for

56
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: simple little Jake, Like little Jake, Little Jake, when you

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: should do this a little Jay, You'll be cold, little

00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: Ja as I've been walking you, Like, look you be cold,

59
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: Little Ja. And I was like, nah, no, i'ma I'm

60
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: on the porch, like really making decisions on that. I'm

61
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: gonna do this music thing first, like eight years old,

62
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: like and I'm like, I'm gonna do this music thing first,

63
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: and then and then I get into acting, you know,

64
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: with the door open whatever. So but then I moved

65
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: a couple of years later and moved to Atlanta, still

66
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: doing the music thing. And then I started finding other

67
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: peers that were weren't overthinking it. They were doing music,

68
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: they were doing film, they were hosting, they were you know,

69
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: acting whatever, and it just I just opened my my

70
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 3: mind up a little bit more and just got more

71
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: comfortable and was like, you know what, I'm gonna do it,

72
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: you know. And I found some acting classes and found

73
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 3: out my first agency out here, shout out to Joy Purpose,

74
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: and you know, she really believed in me and helped

75
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: me get some really important projects that were pivotal and

76
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: me learning on how to be on set and how

77
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: to read scenes, and she would read those scenes with

78
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: me too, like it was just dope. So that was real,

79
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: real hands on agent and you don't get that a lot,

80
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: you know. And she had like her own self tape

81
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: room and I was doing that. So moving to Atlanta

82
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: was really just an eye open experience and I just

83
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: that's just like a testament. You gotta be in an

84
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: environment where you can thrive. Yeah, you know what I mean,

85
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: So you can You gotta be around other people that

86
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 3: are doing things that inspire you and and make can

87
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: you check yourself like, oh I'm overthinking I could do

88
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: I ain't got a quit.

89
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely, don't botch yourself, you know what I mean, I

90
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: could do that in it.

91
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: So that's so Atlanta it was. It's always just been

92
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: home for me ever since then we moved out here twenty,

93
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight. Okay, so I came year two thousand,

94
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: two thousand eight, two thousand nine, soth like that.

95
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I came in two thousand and nine. I

96
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: was in DC working on Capitol Hill. Wow, and I

97
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: was like, I saw all my.

98
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: Friends out here thriving.

99
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, if they can do it, I can do it.

100
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: And like you, like, I wanted to do music like

101
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: that was my thing and if acting, if if music

102
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: opened the door for other things, I was open to it. Yeah,

103
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: and then it kind of ended up being the reverse

104
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: where acting end up opening the door for music.

105
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's all it's all tied in now. So now,

106
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of musicians like bro, I wanna

107
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: I wanna be up, yes, you know, And I'm like, man,

108
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: you know you gotta you just gotta get in there,

109
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: get into acting classes, like I really, I really paid

110
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 3: my dues too with the acting, Like I really got

111
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: in class. I really did improv training, yes, like I

112
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: really like you know. But then also the on seting

113
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: experience was just alone with nothing like class. You know,

114
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: you're like tongue twisters.

115
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, rather leathery leather, leather, yellow leather like you get

116
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: in there and sometimes sometimes shitty, like you could do

117
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: all those things and learn these monologues, but nothing like

118
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: that on set experience where they changing the lines right right,

119
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 4: you know, we want to.

120
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 3: Change this line right here and do this line. You

121
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 3: got Will Smith looking at you like you can do it,

122
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,960

123
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: you changing my line all night? But it's it's just

124
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: it's it's cool, and it's a part of the process,

125
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 3: and it keeps us uncomfortable, you know, which is which

126
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: is good for growth?

127
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,719

214
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: Yes, it's so funny because there I was just talking

215
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: about this actually with DaVinci about how we can we're

216
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: human the first and foremost, but we can be having

217
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: the worst day, but we always have to be on,

218
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, no matter what, because you want that moment

219
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: with that fan to be the best moment. Because I

220
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: know what it's like to meet somebody that I just

221
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: adore and like, oh my gosh, I just love everything

222
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: you do, and they were like completely mean. It's like, yeah,

223
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: oh my goodness.

224
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: You give a lot of yourself you do. It's tough.

225
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 3: It's a tough balance. And I'm at the point now

226
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: if I know I'm not in the greatest mood, I

227
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: just stay home.

228
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: That's smart.

229
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: Just stay hard ordering you know, like literally like just

230
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: stay home, you know, like it's me time all go

231
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: to the gym and go back, go back home, walk

232
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: the dog, like literally stay in the neighborhood. So that's

233
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: that's the best thing for me to do when I

234
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: know I'm like today, ain't it not really answering the

235
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: phone like that, you know what I mean. So it

236
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: just I try to refuel myself before I even step off.

237
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: So speaking of refeeling and balancing, how do you balance

238
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: between all your the mini hats that you wear.

239
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

240
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: That was like I'm still trying.

241
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: To figure that. Like like this morning, I had two

242
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: auditions before I came here. After this, I'm going to

243
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: the studio tonight to finishing touches on my album. So

244
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: it's like when you when you just love what you do,

245
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: you kind of just you just make time for it,

246
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: and you you realize, like, hey, I'm I'm the only one.

247
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: I'm the only one that has these opportunities, and this

248
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: is what I pray for. And like what else? What else?

249
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: What else I got to do today? You know what

250
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 3: I mean? Like I really ain't got nothing else to

251
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: do today. You know, I would just go home and

252
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 3: watch watch movies. So let me record this record tonight,

253
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: let me get it done. Then I could go on vacation,

254
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So really, just uh, just dedication, really,

255
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: just like no matter how you're feeling, just do it.

256
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: Just do it, you know, creating that checklist, and sometimes

257
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: it can feel like you just dragging yourself all day

258
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: and then when you finally sit down and look at

259
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: the work, you put in, You're like, whoa, this is

260
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 3: years and years of work.

261
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: Consistency and very consistent.

262
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the I feel like that's the name

263
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 3: of the game. With anything that you want to be

264
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: successful in, you just gotta you gotta be consistent.

265
00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's where a lot of people

266
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: all short. That's that makes a difference between making it

267
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: and not making it, is that consistency. You don't have

268
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: to be the best doing what you do with the

269
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: ones that are consistent make it.

270
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 3: Nah. Like when I'm in the gym for two weeks,

271
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 3: three weeks straight, and I'm like, oh yea, I'm getting crazy,

272
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 3: and you get you start you see phil, you feel

273
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 3: like you got the results. So you go to Zaxby's

274
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: at Yeah, you got the room, and then you lose

275
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: all that two three weeks over a short week or weekend. Yeah,

276
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: partying and kicking it, and then you like, oh man,

277
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: I'm back, I'm back. Pop belly.

278
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: They don't take off, you know what I mean? Two

279
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: weeks to get it off and one chicken tender to

280
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: get it back, and.

281
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 3: You like yeah, and it's it's just it's what it's about. Yeah,

282
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: And I just try to surround myself around people who

283
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: are consistent and just at this point, like you know, friendships,

284
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 3: even colleagues or just anything, if they if people around

285
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: me aren't consistent in what they're doing or sticking by

286
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: their word, it's kind of like, man, it's like, we

287
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: gotta gotta cut you off. Listen.

288
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: No, I got through.

289
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: Because when they're not moving in the same duration that

290
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: you are, just like all the people that are around you.

291
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: And if you don't be very mindful unintentional about the

292
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: people you're around, you be like why am I acting

293
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: because I'm around you a lot? Because they start to

294
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: rep off on you, whether you whether you're in that

295
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: headstats or not. Yeah, it's like it's inevitable.

296
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: And you try, and I think too, like we we

297
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: got big hearts, so we try to try to help.

298
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 3: We try to give insight, and I think all of

299
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 3: that is cool. But I've I've learned to give some advice,

300
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 3: help where I can watch them if it applied, if

301
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 3: they apply it at all, and I leave it at that.

302
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't force you to I can't force

303
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: your journey on you, you know what I mean or not.

304
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 3: I can only just lead by example, and just through

305
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: my actions, so I can give you what I can

306
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 3: on an advice tip, but that's about it, you know,

307
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 3: Like if I'm on set and what I'm saying, hey, bruh,

308
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: like I think you should like in more right here,

309
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: here and here he accepted of it, and I'm like,

310
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 3: I did what I could because you know, I could

311
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: be standing next to you and I could get I

312
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: could bite the bullet to you, biiting, you know what

313
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: I mean, because I'm just trying to save you and

314
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,480

315
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: And I think it took me a while to have

316
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: that voice because I have been in the game since

317
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: I was right, like my first film said I was

318
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 3: on when I was like eleven. Wow, this show called

319
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: win Tree Hill. Oh yeah, Like they did a few

320
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: seasons and Sophia Bush was the director of that episode.

321
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 3: And I actually seen her pre Gold and Globes parties,

322
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: and every time I see her, she's like, wow, like

323
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: I seen I seen that sparking your eye at like

324
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: eight nine, eleven years old, you know, So it took

325
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 3: me a while to kind of have that voice of

326
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 3: like even just being the youngest in the room. If

327
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: I'm in the room full of maybe up and coming

328
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: actors who are maybe just getting their start at twenty

329
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: one twenty two, right, but I'm I'm like seventeen, and

330
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: I don't want to be the you know, they shouldn't

331
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: do that, you know, like you probably shouldn't move like that,

332
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: you know. And it took me a while. I was

333
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: kind of hesitanting. I was always a little shy or scared, like,

334
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: oh man, they may not they might think I'm be

335
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: acting funny, right, I think I'm like, I don't know.

336
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: I just I was overthoughted. And now if I have

337
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: the opportunity to speak, and if I see somebody that

338
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 3: got like a lot of potential, and I'm like, bruh,

339
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: like you you dope, like you could be more like

340
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,360

341
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: tell them, I will. But if I feel like that

342
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: I was receptive of it, I'm just like, I'm out.

343
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: Right, and the right person would be like, oh, thank

Speaker 1: you for seeing me, and I do want to lock

345
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: in and do better. You know, most people will take

346
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: it if they're in there for the right reasons and

347
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: they have the right mindset, they would be grateful that

348
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: you gave them that insight.

349
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I it's still room for me to grow.

Speaker 3: to Dan Dan Kim. We've been rocking soul. I like

353
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: fourteen so and just inspired by the two auditions I

354
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: had today and they're just totally different and challenged me

355
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 3: because I have been playing the shot for so long.

356
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 3: So sometimes it's good for me to just get other

357
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: auditions that even if I don't get the park, it's

358
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: just it's just a good exercise, you know what I mean,

359
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: for like for me to tap into different characters and stuff.

360
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: So I love that you spoke on being the only

Speaker 1: BT's for the fellas. I wanna dive more into that

363
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: because that's something I love talking to my peers about

364
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: because a lot of times we are the ones that

365
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: made it and we carry so much weight when it

366
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: comes to that.

367
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,640

368
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: Just saying no, you know, just like saying no where

369
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,400

00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: because you It's not like you're not a given person.

373
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 3: It's not like I ain't got receipts, right.

381
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: about it. If you have, if you find it somewhere

382
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,800

00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: me a while. Took me a while to like let

392
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,159

00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: others to say yes to yourself and yes to your

423
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: future because unlike a lot of people, our jobs are

Speaker 1: not promised.

425
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: It could be canceled tomorrow.

426
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Got rid, you know, but like we have to do

427
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: everything we can now to make sure it was set.

428
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: Up for the future.

429
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: Most people have some type of job security, you know.

430
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: We don't have that, so we have to say for

431
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: the rainy day.

432
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. And when they say what's next, like what's next? Like,

433
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 3: I don't know what.

434
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: That's what I have to do. It's the pressure of

435
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: dealing with I don't know.

436
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 3: Like, thank god, I'm on a show that I can

Speaker 3: kind of like, I know, we started season eight, you know,

438
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: but I can't just bank on a bank on that

439
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 3: they say they make. They could cancel the show, God

440
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 3: forbid nothing that is. But it's like you just never know,

441
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 3: you know, like we had a big film strike, you know, like.

00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: bread here and just stay at home and stop going

447
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:26,280

Speaker 2: I can stand on my own account.

451
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 3: You know, you know what I'm saying. So it's like

452
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: my whole mental is shifted, yeah, in that in that space,

453
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 3: and it's it's literally shown in every aspect of my

00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 3: life spiritually, financially, physically, mentally. I'm like this.

455
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,920

00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if your your relationship status right now,

457
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: but you talked about loans and sometimes loneliness is not

458
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: a bad thing. I know for me gaining success, it

459
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 1: was hard for me to find the right relationship that

460
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: understood what all comes with this life. And even now,

461
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: it's like you dates when they're like, oh my goodness,

462

Speaker 1: you come with a lot and it's a lot of

463
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: amazing things, but they may not be used to the

464
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: level of the amazing things, like this is a lot,

465
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,639

466
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: go and you have to stay focused. What was the

467
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: moment where you realize, wait, being lonely is not a

468
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: bad thing, or it's not lonely, just being in solitude

469
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: and by yourself.

470
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 3: I just come from a big family, Like I grew up.

471
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 3: I grew up in a house where my dad and

515
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a big shift. And people will think

516
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,919

Speaker 3: I got to play a scene where I'm depressed, depressed literally,

519
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 3: you know. So it's just like it's the it's those

520
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 3: those things and those scripts that come in that that

521
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: force you to lock in it, you know, And that's

522
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: the I mean, I wouldn't even say that's just an actor.

523
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 3: Any anything you want to do in life, like if

524
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 3: you want to be a gymnast, if you want to

525
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: be a lawyer, it takes that. You got to clock

526
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: in you. But I also learned I've also learned how

527
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: to close the office too, Like at home, I got

528
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 3: I got my office and then like I really try

529
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 3: to be out of the office by five or six

530
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: o'clock in the evening, where I'm like, all right, don't

531
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 3: you know, but you you set your own times up,

532
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: like every day might be different. Yeah, you know, what

533
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,800

538
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: know you have to make those decisions. But I've also

539
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 3: just just learned on when to turn it on, when

540
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 3: to turn it off for me. That's good, so I

541
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 3: could so I could be ready for the next day. Exactly,

587
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: roles that you choose as an actor, do you let

588
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: the story speak to you? Are there some absolute things

589
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: that you look for in the character? How do you

590
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,240

00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: for believing in me, you know what I mean. Like

661
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 3: it was like audition for like five or six times.

662
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,600

Speaker 3: Not gonna work here. Yeah, So wow.

669
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,400

00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure at this point in your career you're like either.

671
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: You want me or you don't like But it was

672
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: it was just refreshing though, because usually after the third

673
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: audition they on to the they're looking for the next person.

674

Speaker 3: So I believe he was in He was definitely in

676
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 3: there fighting for me. Yeah, because then you know, a

677
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 3: producer may have a favorite, the director might have a writer.

678
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: You know, the director is like, no, I see something

679
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 3: that you push.

680
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: Harder, and that's who has to work with.

681
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: You know that director the bill for pushing me on

682
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: that was you know, that's a that's a film I

683
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 3: always cherished, just the learning lesson. Yeah.

684
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean in your career, what has been like the

685
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: most challenging thing that you had to deal with, like

686
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: on set. I'm sure that was one of the most.

687
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 3: Definite it was that the most challenge I would say.

688
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 3: I would say I would say definitely it was. Yeah,

689
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 3: I haven't I haven't been challenged like that in a

690
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 3: long time. I mean, Season seven of The Shot is

691
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: gonna be uh it was. It pulled on me emotionally

692
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: and it's going through some heavy stuff. He's not always

693
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 3: smiles and fun and jokes. Yeah, I would say this

694
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: is probably the toughest season for me on the Shot,

695
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 3: just on the locking in part like, oh no, I can't.

696
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 3: I gotta get I have to be ready for this.

697
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: To be able to perform the way you need to.

698
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 3: Because we you know, we you both you and I

699
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: both know how like when they got to film that

700
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: scene that day and they're on that time schedule and

701
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: they got that shot up and you're trying, You're trying

702
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: to be ready for that moment. Ain't no room for air?

703
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: Are you a method actor?

704
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 3: I can be for Udy y'all, I definitely was. Yeah,

705
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: would kill him. Uh. And it depends. It depends on

706
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: the the heaviness of it. Like if it's some room

707
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: for me to add me in there, I don't really

708
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,600

712
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 3: not show up to set with that energy that I

713
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: would like to show up to stay with. Yeah, cause

714
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 3: I want to make sure I'm not acting funnier like uh,

715
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: causing any refraft cause some people could take the method

00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 3: I don't know yet, you know, I really don't know yet.

1007
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 3: I mean it's not that I don't want my girl

00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 3: to feel like she got to do it. Like like

1016
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 3: maybe a little selfish in me, a little bit, you

1017
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 3: know a little bit.

1018
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: But it's honest. But it's yeah, you have to be

1019
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: honest with yourself and what you need, you know, and

1020
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: finding the person that's like yeah, I can I.

1021
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 3: Can do that, you know? Yeah. Yeah, it's something I'm

1022
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 3: still on the with that, Like I'm still like no, no, no, no, no,

1023
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 3: I need because I've had situations where where a girl

1024
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 3: paid a girl paid for me. One time, I was like,

1025
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 3: okay for you, like like in the sense of like

1026
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 3: dinner and like my birthday. I was like, I always

1027
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 3: always like I feel cringey because I'm like, I'm so

1028
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 3: used to being the one, you know, And I was like,

1029
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 3: I'm like that kind of felt good.

1030
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh god, you get used to this, like

1031
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 2: some bread.

1032
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 3: And then I'm like, oh no, the spirit. It's the

1033
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 3: spirit because that's more important, way more, you know what

1034
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So it's it's always a battle. But I

1035
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 3: think for me, I'm just I'm really trying to force

1036
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 3: myself into space right now to be single. It's the

1037
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 3: longest I've ever been lately. I started out dating young relationships,

1038
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 3: so I was like back to back laceship for like

1039
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 3: ten years.

1040
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a habitual dater, Like you break up

1041
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeap, next, yeah, next, because one was public,

1042
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: but the other ones was private and then long and

1043
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: no one's seen that.

1044
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 3: So I'm just like, I don't want to preach like, oh,

1045
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 3: you should be single, you should never date, Like that's

1046
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 3: not what I want to put out there. I just

1047
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: think for me in this season, it's just good for

1048
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 3: me to enjoy my home, yes, and the silence of

1049
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 3: my career. It's important, yeah, you know, and just and

1050
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,720
Speaker 3: take that time out before I share it with somebody.

1051
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you something because I'm a lot older

1052
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 2: than you.

1053
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: When I had a season of my life or I

1054
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: didn't date as well, And I feel like when you're

1055
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: like us and we've dated so like rapid or frequently,

1056
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: and you have all these different people and there's different

1057
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: energies and just poor and poor and pooring because when

1058
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: you're a relationship, it's all about your partner, you know,

1059
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: And there comes a time where you do have to

1060
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: be selfish as you or whatever people want to call it.

1061
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: But I think in those moments you learn so much

1062
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 1: about yourself. You learn how to figure out what it

1063
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 1: is you like. Because sometimes we can be in relationships

1064
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: like whatever you like, whatever you want to do, and

1065
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: it's like what do I like?

1066
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 3: You know?

1067
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: And I feel like in those moments of solitude and

1068
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: just not being with somebody, you learn exactly what you want.

1069
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: So I'm proud of you.

1070
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 3: Thank you.

1071
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, because.

1072
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: A lot I mean people date like you shouldn't be

1073
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: alone and know sometimes you need those.

1074
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 3: Doesn't necessarily mean that I don't go kick it, you know,

1075
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 3: like it's just my home is for me, you know.

1076

1178
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: this letter from I don't want to butcher your name.

1179
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 1: I hope I'm saying this right. And Elijah williams hey

1180
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: and Elijah and Elijah says, I recently just left a

1181
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: relationship I was in for nine years, the only relationship

1182
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 1: I've been in, the only person I've ever been with.

1183
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: I have three children by him. As I started seeking God,

1184
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: we became further apart. I didn't quite understand until one night.

1185
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,760
Speaker 1: We had a big argument and I prayed for clarity,

1186
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: and it was as if God himself was in my

1187
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,479
Speaker 1: face and said, he can't go the wi she wants

1188
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: what it wants, that.

1189
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 2: It when it's comfortable.

1190
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: But the spirit says, no, how do you handle flesh

1191
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: and spirit?

1192
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, no, I just so I'm not even

1193
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 3: knowing I'm experiencing nothing out with it. But what I

1194
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 3: do know about what I've read is a man leads

1195
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 3: his mother and his father and become one flesh with

1196
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 3: his wife.

1197
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: Mm.

1198
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 3: And I don't that. That don't sound easy to me.

1199
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 3: So I don't think it was ever meant to be

1200
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 3: easy unless it was like something that's that's truly detrimental. Yeah,

1201
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 3: in the relationship, I say, fight for it, and he

1202
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 3: got a family. Man.

1203
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: I think her biggest thing is that she's seeking a

1204
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: relationship with God and the God's pulling apart from her.

1205
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 3: Mm.

1206
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: So it's I haven't had that situation, but I have

1207
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 1: had a situation where I.

1208
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 3: Had missed that part. I wouldn't listen.

1209
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I think that was her biggest thing.

1210
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: But for me, I've been in a situation where literally

1211
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: God said in the car and was like I heard

1212
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 1: the same thing.

1213
00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 2: He can't go cause I was fighting for it. I

1214
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 2: was like, I wanted he was a narcissist, manipulative.

1215
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 3: I would go as like next journey of your life.

1216
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see, yeah, but you like the flesh ones

1217
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: what it's like. But I love this man and this woman,

1218
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: and it's like you see all the things that it

1219
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: could be in your mind, and God was like, no,

1220
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: that ain't what I have for you. And the reason

1221
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: why you still stuck is because you haven't let this go,

1222
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,439
Speaker 1: so I can't take you to the next level. I've

1223
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: had that situation and then even where I am now,

1224
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: God has been He's I've talked about it on another podcast,

1225
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: but God convicted me on sex. So I'm really my

1226
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: Bible and like I'm reading it's like sexual morality.

1227
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,680
