00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: life has changed that you've been associated with black light Well,

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: I got the call from my manager about a year

63
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: and a half ago that I had this audition called

64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: black Light Man. I didn't. I never I never heard

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: of black Lightning. Never knew that we even had a

66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: black superhero along with his family that was a part

67
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: of the DC universe. Never knew, So I go, I

68
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: never knew either. Don't worry about it. I never do.

69
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: I never knew. But I get the script and I

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: was like, first of all, knowing that Mara instantly mckill

71
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: were at the helm of it all and they were

72
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: the writers and the executive producers. I knew that this

73
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: would be a good show because their work speaks for itself.

74
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of their work, always wanted to

75
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: work with them. So I was first excited to read

76
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: the script because I knew they were attached to it.

77
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: Read the script and I was like, I just appreciated

78
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: the story. Most superheroes you see are, you know, in

79
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: their early twenties, and here with black Lightning, you have

80
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: a middle age man with the family who is a

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: high school principle. We've just never seen or heard this

82
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: story before, and I appreciated the strong bold and independent

83
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: female characters that they created within this world. So I

84
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: went in for the job and I was like, listen, y'all,

85
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: y'all looking for me. I felt so connected. I felt

86
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: so connected to the character and felt so connected to

87
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: the story that I just really went in so focused,

88
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: and I said, just go in and let them know

89
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: that you are her. And that was just the goal,

90
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: you know, to go in and show them that I

91
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: understood this character and that I was really wanting to

92
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: give my voice over to her and I under you know,

93
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: I just said everything about her world, so um, coming

94
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: from a city like Silly, I understand some of the

95
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: problems that that that the city Freeland faces within the

96
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: show and just wanting to be a voice for that

97
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: and hopefully start change, you know, with within our country,

98
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: within our cities. And um, that was pretty much my

99
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: my my audition process a minute this week. She said

100
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: a lot of good information because I want to continue

101
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: a story, but I want to feel people in the background.

102
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: She mentioned Mar Brock and her husband now Mars, some

103
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: of the work that mar has done, his girlfriends being

104
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: Mary Jane the game. Just to know a little history

105
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: about her writing sample and you know, uh in the

106
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: new series on own and so that's them. Okay to

107
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: know that about that, Okay to show black Lightning. She

108
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: has a sister, and she has a mom, and she

109
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: has a dad. That's the family dynamic that she's talking about,

110
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: and that the encompasses black Lightning. In her father's role,

111
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: he's a high school principal. Now her character is a

112
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: very defiant character. And initially on the show, Um, the

113
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: character is is a gay character. Now initially on the show,

114
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: and I want to ask about this, and as we

115
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: go through the interview process, she had a relationship. But

116
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 1: I thought in the beginning at bogged down the show

117
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: because the show succeeds based on the family dynamic and

118
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: how they all come together, because she has a sister

119
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: who's reluctant to be a superhero. She just wants She

120
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: just wants to have kids. She wants to be a

121
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: normal person, and she's she's trauma tized. In the series.

122
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: Now thunder Thunder all about being a superhero. She's all

123
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: about taking her power and and and and saving the community,

124
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: fixing the wrongs in the community. Of fact, her father

125
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: has to calm Thunder down. Now you can continue continue

126
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: you're excited, you can continue Thunder Thunder. She understands and

127
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: she learns that she has these superpowers, and you see

128
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: her through the first season trying to navigate and develop them.

129
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: And once this lightbulb goes off of understanding how her

130
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: powers work, she gets really really excited and really passionate,

131
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: and she believes that this is a gift from God

132
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: and she is to used it to save people who

133
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: can't say themselves. So that is her logic behind, you know,

134
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: wanting to go out and use the powers that have

135
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: been given to her. Um and as you said, uh,

136
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: my sister on the show played by China and the

137
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: claim she has a totally different feeling about having these powers.

138
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: She thinks that it makes us freaks and she's not normal,

139
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: and she just, you know, this doesn't really understand and

140
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: why her life has been you know, changed in the

141
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: in the major way that it has been. And you

142
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: can see, you know, throughout the season where I'm trying

143
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: to convince her that we have to use our God

144
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: given powers. And as you spoke on Black Lightning, you know,

145
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: dealing with the fact that his daughter has these same powers,

146
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: not the same powers, but you know they have been

147
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: given special abilities and just trying to you know, navigate

148
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: through that world of of protecting them. But also, you know,

149
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: I have to train them because it is what it is,

150
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: and if I trained them, then hopefully, you know they'll

151
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: they'll you know, be as well off as possible when

152
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: it comes to the whole superhero world. So yeah, it's

153
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: it's it's it's really a show about a family first,

154
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: and it's not it's not that you're reminded that they're

155
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: superheroes until you see them in their costumes, when you

156
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: see them actually out fighting crime and saving people. But

157
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: it's really a show about a family and you know,

158
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: going through family problems and them trying to overcome them together,

159
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: which I thought was really cool because you don't see

160
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: a superhero, you know, with his family, as I mentioned before,

161
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: you you know, you usually see this young superhero flying

162
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: and jumping all around, and you have this family of

163
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: superheroes and and that's just an amazing concept with a

164
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: really cool idea. And kudos to everyone over at d

165
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: C and Tony, Isabella and Trevor who created you know this,

166
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: this this character. Yeah, let's let's talk about this show

167
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: here about Rushawn McDonald's Black Lightning experience, because it's really

168
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: all about me. Really, you know, I'm a fan. I'm

169
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: a fan, Okay, So so I'm seeing it being promoted.

170
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: I know. In fact, I didn't know that uh Mara,

171
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: the slave family had been involved, was involved in it

172
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: at all. I just saw this and my first thought

173
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: was they would not have the production quality. It's a

174
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: black show. I thought they wouldn't have the production quality

175
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: to deliver the special effect. That's that was my first thought.

176
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: Rushin had already made some preconceived thoughts that he wasn't

177
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: gonna watch thoughts. These are my thoughts. You know, I'm

178
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: just trying to be honest, you know, I said. You

179
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: know they probably you know they do. You know, they're

180
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: trying to get on the hype of the Black Panther

181
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: dropping this little black show in and you know, I

182
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: ain't wasted my time because I'm a superhero nut by

183
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: the way, this week, okay, okay, So so then my

184
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: wife she knows I'm a superhero nut, so she says

185
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: she watches the premiere and then she goes, you better

186
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: watch the show. I go, why you best watched the show?

187
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: You're missing something? I said, really really well whatever. So

188
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: she for three weeks went by. I didn't watch the show,

189
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: she said, and she's watching it and giving me kind

190
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: of like updates. Will you stop telling me I'm not

191
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: gonna watch the show? So I wish, she said. She

192
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: set me down. I binge watched the first three episodes.

193
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: I've missed and have not missed an episode since. You

194
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: can give me. Give me a quiz right now, a

195
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: black life, and I passed. That's how much of a

196
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: fan I am because I'm telling you why, because of

197
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: the fact that, first of all, the villains are fantastic.

198
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: The villains are fantastic. That's key to me. You know,

199
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: do the villains have credibility? Do do they throw fear

200
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: in you? Do? They do? They? Do? They do? They

201
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 1: map out? And then all of a sudden there is

202
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: innate danger that the secret can I get out? And

203
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: then the dynamic between their their their parents because they're divorced,

204
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: and she divorced him because he was a superhero, because

205
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: she didn't want to deal with the pressure of him

206
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: fighting crime the same thing her father. She I love

207
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: the fact that the daughter got a little to mama

208
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: and her I'm talking about the younger daughter. And then Thunder,

209
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: who I am interviewing right now. She got all daddy

210
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: and her. She all about saving the community. She all

211
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: about stepping out there. She Chiller were right now, she Thunder,

212
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: but she realizes that she can't because the people know

213
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: how to attack and know how to get the family.

214
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: That's why the superheroes can't tell her who they are.

215
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: That's why superheroes really can't have loved ones. That's why

216
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: this show works because the fact that they are family

217
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: and the fact that let's let's put his way. Uh,

218
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: it'd be like the Cosby's superheroes because they the fathers

219
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: of principle. I'm just telling you listening, the fathers of principles.

220
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: That's all. That's a really recognized and good job. The

221
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: moms are scientists. She's a doctor, so that's another high

222
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: profile profession. So you have two people who got two

223
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: beautiful daughters once in high school. Wants wants your characters

224
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: finished college? Correct? No, No, she's still currently in medical school.

225
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying, boy, your boys stand on top is gay

226
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: and so and so the thing about it is that

227
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: when I'm looking at these characters and watching it play out,

228
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: the fact that you went in. You say, it's kind

229
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: of like a vision board. You said, this is what

230
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: I wanted, this is who I am going to be.

231
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: I want this role, And how many times did you

232
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: audition for this role? So I went in for at

233
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: once and I didn't hear anything in almost two weeks

234
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: went by, and I was like, well, damn, I felt

235
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: like I had a really good audition. Why didn't I

236
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: hear anything. You know, typically you know, you hear a

237
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: callback within either a few days or maybe a week,

238
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: and not not all cases because in the film industry

239
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: things can change. But for the most part, I expected

240
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: to have heard something bad. I felt like I had

241
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: a really good audition. And then two weeks go by,

242
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: I hear nothing. And then then and then I get

243
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: a phone call that I didn't have a callback, that

244
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: I had a screen test. So I skipped a callback

245
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: and I went straight to the screen test where which

246
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: is when you read with the other characters who they are. Girl,

275
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: I remember my days of being in college. I remember

276
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: my days of first starting out in the industry and

277
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: not really having you know, the budget to shop, you know,

278
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: the way I may have wanted to, but I knew

279
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: I could always go to Forever twenty one with just say,

280
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: fifty bucks and put an entire book together. And I

281
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: was always inspired by the idea of that and always

282
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,400

Speaker 1: and I was also saying, you know, don't wait for

308
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: anyone to give you a job to start making money.

309
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: Don't wait, you know, for things to happen if you're

310
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: inspired by this idea just started. You know, I'd like

311
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: to think of myself as an entity and and I

312
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: have many business ideas and you know, many business plans

313
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: that I will execute and this was just one of them.

314
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: And I love acting, but I love fashion just as much.

315
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: So this was an outlet for me to walk in

316
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: that side of my dream. So now you're you're you're

317
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: interesting because like I said, you know, you're attractive, So

318
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: the modeling aspect of your life, I can understand that.

319
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: But you're working in the d a's office. Now, I

320
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: was working in the d a's office. I thought I

321
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: was returning just to could turn this office right. Yes,

322
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: and I was working in the homicide unit, so I

323
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: sat in on actual homicide trials and cases and help

324
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: do something you at that point, how old were you then?

325
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: I was, I was still in college. I was nice

326
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: nineteen nineteen twenty. This is about a year before I

327
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: graduated college. So yeah, I was working in the d

328
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: a's office and I thought I wanted to be a

329
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: lawyer and it was great, but I said, you know,

330
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: you got to really follow the visions and the dreams

331
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: that got you know and still don't use from when

332
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: you were a kid. And I had an audition. Well,

333
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: I was working at the law firm. See you you're funny,

334
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: so you do why you're funny because you've got a

335
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: good story, but you all over the place. You know,

336
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: first of all, you know, you're modeling, and then all

337
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're you're at the d a's office.

338
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: Now your audition. Okay, so you so you were acting

339
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: and working at these offers at the same time and

340
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: going to college and going to college. I was yeah,

341
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, I have an audition.

342
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: I asked him if I could take off. I went

343
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: anyway and five and that was That was the best

344
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: day of my life and the beginning of the rest

345
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: of it. So so this would always tell people, because

346
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: I love this part of the story. I would tell people,

347
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: there are twenty four hours in a day. Learn to

348
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: take advantage of every hour. And that's what you're telling

349
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: me that you did with your life and you're still

350
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: doing with your life. There was a point in your

351
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: life where, even at that young age two, you're a

352
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: conscious decision. Look norm in college. I know I want

353
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: to act, so I gotta work on that craft. I

354
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: want to audition, and I'm at the d But we

355
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: all knew that the d a's office wasn't what you

356
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: wanted to be. That's not the place you wanted to

357
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: be so so they actually did your favor, did your

358
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: favorite by firing me. And that was the first day.

359
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Since that day, I started going to New York and auditioning,

360
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: and then I booked the soap opera One Like to Live.

361
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: And you know, things just took off for me because

362
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: you because you finally was giving one. Since so people

363
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: operating on that B plan. So you you put everything

364
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: in the A plan, aid everything. There is no B plan.

365
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: Planing B is to make plan a world. There you go.

366
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: Now she's getting girl. I keep telling she got some jewels. Man,

367
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: you just let her talk long enough. She's gonna change

368
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: the world now, because because that's what I tell people,

369
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: you hold them. I remember I left IBM to do

370
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: stand up comedy. In the back of my mind, it

371
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: was like I could always go back to IBM, you know,

372
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: I always felt that. But but that was the wrong

373
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: thought process because if I wanted to stand i'd be

374
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: I should have stayed. Understand that if you want to

375
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: go back to something and it's tempting you to go back,

376
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: go back. But if you quit it, that was a

377
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: reason you quit the problem. You there was no going back.

378
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: So des office gone you got one like to Live?

379
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: How did you get to the West Coast? I got

380
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: to the West Coast. So I booked the series regular

381
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: on on one like to Live, and then, if you

382
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: can remember, one, Like to Live got canceled and it

383
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: was replaced by the A Food of food reality like

384
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: a food talk show. I know about that you. So

385
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: we got canceled. The shoe came on, so I was

386
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: I was so devastated. I was like, oh my goodness,

387
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: Like what am I gonna do? And I was like,

388
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: you know what, now it's time to take what's on

389
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: your resume and go to l A. So I went

390
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: to l A. I tried it out for about a month.

391
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,760

438
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: it's our duty to serve and to give back, especially

439
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: when you've been blessed so much. Much has given, much

440
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: is required, and I believe that the secreted service, you know,

441
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: and we're we're put here to bless each other in too.

442
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: You know, inspire and empower each other. And that's pretty

443
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: much my life mission, I believe. You know. Um, life

444
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: begins when you start to follow your dreams and understand

445
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: what your purposes. And in the once you understand what

446
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: your purpose is, your job next is to help the

447
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: next person, you know, discover what THEIRS is and encourage

448
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: them to follow theirs. So um, that's just basically, you know,

449
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: I try to live by that rule. I go down

450
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: to ski Road while I was going when I was

451
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: in l A. And I try to go when I

452
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: when I you know, when I'm not filming, but it's

453
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: the Peggy Beatrice Foundation and we go down to Skiar Road.

454
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: We closed, we feed, we pray, you know, just incur

455
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: sometimes just listen, you know, being a listening ear. And

456
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: I love doing it. I'm most happy when I'm when

457
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: i'm serving and when i'm giving. So um, that's that's

458
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,639
