Speaker 1: I'm born and raised Brooklyn, New York. Um. But when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, Tony Dorsett was my favorite player, right, Um,
Speaker 1: So that's what it is. You know, I was, I
Speaker 1: was riding with or set and so I've been you know,
Speaker 1: I've been Cowboys fan ever since. Was that tough growing
Speaker 1: up in Brooklyn and being a Cowboy fan? No, I
Speaker 1: mean a little bit, um because all New York teams
Speaker 1: sucked back then. Anyway, Yes, that's like but um, you
Speaker 1: know when we after after the glory days of the nineties,
Speaker 1: you know, it was a little tough. Yeah, it's been
Speaker 1: a little tough. But I wrapped face fully, right, I'm
Speaker 1: out there social media Cowboys Nation, right, But tell us
Speaker 1: this right here before we get into you man, what
Speaker 1: were did you play football? Was you athletic coming up
Speaker 1: through high school, middle school, elementary? Tell us about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I used to actually play for Pop Warner team called
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Skyhawks. Um, you know, I thought I would
Speaker 1: one day be on the field. And then I was
Speaker 1: about sixteen, I got hit real hard. I was like,
Speaker 1: maybe I can act like a football And then Malik
Speaker 1: Jefferson was born. Yeah, how'd you get into acting? I
Speaker 1: got into acting. I always kind of been into the arts.
Speaker 1: My grandmother was an artist, my grandfather was a jazz musician,
Speaker 1: and I've been writing for as long as I can remember,
Speaker 1: and write poetry, short stories, raps, stuff like that. So
Speaker 1: it just kind of became an extension of that. Um
Speaker 1: just performing in like my acting hero at Sydney Portier,
Speaker 1: you know, grew up watching him, so I'll just was
Speaker 1: influenced by his gifts. And then I ended up going
Speaker 1: to high school performing arts in New York, which is
Speaker 1: the you know, the Fame School and all that, and
Speaker 1: that was it. Man. It's just such an incredible environment
Speaker 1: to foster artistry and and I mean, and then I
Speaker 1: was just blessed with opportunity. Right out of high school.
Speaker 1: I booked my first film. And having looked back as
Speaker 1: a kid born in the seventies, obviously going through the
Speaker 1: nineties and hip ho hop and Tupac? How was it
Speaker 1: working with Tupac? Like, I mean, you obviously worked with
Speaker 1: him in Juice. Talked to us a little bit about
Speaker 1: that interaction and what kind of man was he? Man?
Speaker 1: That was a magical experience, man, and Pop was just
Speaker 1: a he was everything that you think he would be like,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm not talking about famous people, you know,
Speaker 1: there's just certain personalities of people who were just larger
Speaker 1: than life. And they have a different aura. He was
Speaker 1: one of those people, and you know, it was just
Speaker 1: it was just people with kids. Man, I was I
Speaker 1: was seventeen. I think he might have been nineteen or
Speaker 1: something like that. So we were just kind of living
Speaker 1: a dream and just I'm just fortunate and thankful to
Speaker 1: have been a part of that. You know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep going back, be a little more detail in your
Speaker 1: in your childhood. Was you brought up in a good home,
Speaker 1: soil at home, one family, explaining that because I want
Speaker 1: kids to know that no matter where you come from,
Speaker 1: how you do it, it's a story behind everybody. Yeah. Absolutely, Well,
Speaker 1: you know I grew up, uh, you know, blue collar.
Speaker 1: My mother was was an educator and board of education,
Speaker 1: single parent, household, I grew up. I didn't know my
Speaker 1: father growing up, and uh, and it was rough. But
Speaker 1: you know, my mom's is my superhero and my super
Speaker 1: woman to this day. And if it wasn't for her,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here. The thing because I just actually
Speaker 1: wrote a book called From Fatherless to Fatherhood. That chronicle
Speaker 1: was my story growing up without a father and then
Speaker 1: becoming a father. So it's interesting that you asked that question,
Speaker 1: But you know, my mother instilled a sense of self
Speaker 1: worth in me at a very young age. I always
Speaker 1: felt that I was valued, you know, in our household,
Speaker 1: and that that's kind of what got me here because
Speaker 1: you know, when the peer pressure would come and things
Speaker 1: of that that happened in those type of environments. I
Speaker 1: always knew I was looking at life as a marathon.
Speaker 1: Wasn't about a quick fix or a quick thing. And
Speaker 1: I never wanted to put negative into the world. I
Speaker 1: didn't want to be successful by negativity, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So, yeah, man, that's my story. I've been grinding,
Speaker 1: you know, just focus. I've been dreaming about what I
Speaker 1: do for a living since I was twelve years old, right,
Speaker 1: you know, And I tell kids that all the time.
Speaker 1: You got to you gotta see it, and then you
Speaker 1: structure your life around that. You know, everything has a
Speaker 1: science to it, and everything is a craft, and you
Speaker 1: gotta respect it and learn it. And then you just
Speaker 1: keep grinding and you keep grounding. When opportunity knocks, you
Speaker 1: better be ready to kick that door open. You talk
Speaker 1: about fatherhood, I know that when I became a father,
Speaker 1: I was there were so many lessons you learned because
Speaker 1: you start going through and you're teaching this this person
Speaker 1: how to become an adult. Right, give me one thing,
Speaker 1: just if you had to boil it down to one
Speaker 1: thing that you've learned in the process of being a
Speaker 1: father that's kind of helped you in your life as
Speaker 1: a man, one thing that you think kind of is
Speaker 1: has stood out as that one big lesson. That's that's
Speaker 1: hard to pick one thing out of I know, but
Speaker 1: I would say I think the main thing is that
Speaker 1: time is the most valuable thing on earth. This is
Speaker 1: the most invaluable thing that exists. Time. And so you know,
Speaker 1: just as a parent, a mother or father, that's your
Speaker 1: most precious thing that you can give your kids, your time.
Speaker 1: You have to be present, you gotta be active because
Speaker 1: you know when when when kids grow up, the things
Speaker 1: that they remember was that time, you know, dad came
Speaker 1: to my baseball game, or that time you know mom
Speaker 1: did such and such and such that I had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with buying me a pair of sneakers or
Speaker 1: a video game. So if I had to boil it down,
Speaker 1: I would pick this to go. It's so true. I played,
Speaker 1: you know, I was fortunate to get on every level
Speaker 1: of football. But I can remember every game because my
Speaker 1: dad was just a worker man, and so every game
Speaker 1: that he showed up, they're like, hey man, your mom
Speaker 1: want to visit a thousand game? But dad came to
Speaker 1: this right right, you know, right when I got my
Speaker 1: dad to come to the Hawaii to the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: I was in heaven. Man, Hey, I opened the checkbook.
Speaker 1: I was are afterward. But what do you want? You know, brothers,
Speaker 1: time be that form man, that's be there, man, what
Speaker 1: you got yours legit? So walk us through being a
Speaker 1: being a cowboy fan? What's it? What's a game? Obviously
Speaker 1: you're super busy right now, career, you know all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But are you able to watch games? If you are,
Speaker 1: like are you glued? Are you screaming? Or you like,
Speaker 1: how do you watch? What's your Sundays? Like my Sunday is, um,
Speaker 1: I'm coming downstairs and living room. Everybody know to leave
Speaker 1: me alone. My mother in law is a Giants fan, right,
Speaker 1: and she's very vociferous fan, all right, and she lives
Speaker 1: right behind us. So we you know, if we if
Speaker 1: we playing like we don't even she like we don't
Speaker 1: speak until after the game, right right right, and if
Speaker 1: if if we take the l I don't want to talk.
Speaker 1: If we beat them, I'm gonna go van lies of
Speaker 1: backyard right. But that's it, you know, typical Sunday is
Speaker 1: you know, uh whatever, I'm gonna eat sitting right there
Speaker 1: and I'm waiting for the game. You know, I'll be
Speaker 1: watching all the games. But when we come on and
Speaker 1: I'm very uh, I think I'm I think I'm the coach.
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys. I'm streaming at the guys.
Speaker 1: I'm screaming at everybody and kids are like, all right, dad,
Speaker 1: so give me your state of the union right now?
Speaker 1: What do you what do you think whether whether team
Speaker 1: is heading into twenty and eighteen. I'm actually excited, man.
Speaker 1: Look when we got all of the Dad's man, thank
Speaker 1: you for you know, all of the gay to the team,
Speaker 1: you know, salute to future Hall of Fame and winning. Um.
Speaker 1: I didn't at first, you know, when the whole desk
Speaker 1: thing happened, I was like, all right, well, what's the
Speaker 1: you know, do we have something set up for that?
Speaker 1: And from what I see now, I'm kind of I'm excited.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's basically like, okay, it's we're going young
Speaker 1: and um we still got some great people. I think
Speaker 1: I'm I think Zeke's gonna have a monster year. I
Speaker 1: just have some feeling about that. I think I d
Speaker 1: is gonna be better than a lot of people think,
Speaker 1: because I was surprised at our d last season. Um,
Speaker 1: and it's to me, it's all about that if that
Speaker 1: can take his experience from last season but inject back
Speaker 1: that fun and sort of he wasn't thinking in his
Speaker 1: first season. You know, last season you can tell he
Speaker 1: was in his head. But so if he can combine
Speaker 1: those two, man, I like our chances, their experienced with
Speaker 1: an enthusiasts, that's the word. And you know we gotta Um,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good year because we gotta knock
Speaker 1: off the beast man. They in our division, no doubt.
Speaker 1: You know, they got the chips. So we're playing them twice,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna You know, when you saw that the Eagles,
Speaker 1: who ain't never won nothinging, When you saw that, what
Speaker 1: was your feelings? Man? Watching the Super Bowl? Did you
Speaker 1: rep did you say, hey, I'm father them because then
Speaker 1: the East or did you say, man, I ain't going
Speaker 1: with Eagles regardless, No, I'm still with you know, with
Speaker 1: our squad but right I was, I know, you know,
Speaker 1: you know what, I knew they were gonna win. It
Speaker 1: was one particular play. Remember they tried to pass. Uh,
Speaker 1: they tried to pass play to Tom Brady and they
Speaker 1: and it didn't work. Yeah, when the Eagles came back
Speaker 1: and do the same play the Nick Foles and it worked.
Speaker 1: I literally said that my boy. I said, oh, they're
Speaker 1: about to win this game, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: because they just I mean, they just played a hell
Speaker 1: of a game, you know, And um, I can't I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think Belichick got out coached. That was
Speaker 1: the first time I saw that. You know, they kind
Speaker 1: of their offensive modulation was was impeccable. So it pains
Speaker 1: me to say this, but the Eagles deserved to win.
Speaker 1: They took that game from New England. They one of
Speaker 1: the few teams that didn't sit back and go, let's
Speaker 1: play it safe. We got they kept on the gas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they deserved. And you still answer that question, Oh mind,
Speaker 1: what did you cheer for the Eagle left? I was
Speaker 1: happy for them, right like my co star on the show,
Speaker 1: Ryan Phillippi's He's from phillip So I was happy for him.
Speaker 1: I was happy, like for all my friends that are
Speaker 1: Eagles fans. But you know, I'm I'm riding down cowboy man,

Speaker 1: favorite project? You had a pretty long career, you know
Speaker 1: what's your favorite project that was just like, man, that
Speaker 1: was a cool thing. I'm glad I was a part
Speaker 1: of it, all of them, all of them. Man. I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, um, every every project in my mind,
Speaker 1: it's like the old pieces of a big mosaic at
Speaker 1: the end of at the end of my career. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be one big picture because I can't
Speaker 1: because each journey has its own thing, It has its
Speaker 1: own unique place in my heart or experience or something
Speaker 1: that you know happened. But there's nothing like the first
Speaker 1: I will say that, you know what I mean, Like this, this,
Speaker 1: you know, my very first project, Juice will always hold
Speaker 1: a special place in my heart because that was like
Speaker 1: the first one. You know. It's just kind of like amazing,
Speaker 1: you know, taking a train and set and um, and
Speaker 1: we felt like we felt like we were doing something special,
Speaker 1: you know, we could. It's just that that in that time,
Speaker 1: what the film was about, how it is being captured.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Ernest Dickinson, who wrote and directed the film. Um,
Speaker 1: it was just an incredible experience. Yeah, so flip that.
Speaker 1: What's an opportunity that you didn't take that you look
Speaker 1: back now, like, man, I should have taken out when
Speaker 1: that was a bad decision. I haven't had that yet,
Speaker 1: have Yeah, I haven't had I haven't. I haven't turned
Speaker 1: down anything this has been Um. Like I wanted to
Speaker 1: do Dead Presidents but I didn't get it. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: I was pissed when I saw the movie because I
Speaker 1: was like, this is hot. You could have killed but yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually didn't get that one. But now I haven't. Um,
Speaker 1: I haven't swung and missed in that way. Okay, you know,
Speaker 1: and then you know, people are always asked me, like,
Speaker 1: is there anything that you want to do? You know,
Speaker 1: I mean outside of like a biopic of like, you know,
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to play like Frederick Douglas, you know,
Speaker 1: tell about his life. But outside of that, creatively, my
Speaker 1: process is different. I'm kind of open, you know. I
Speaker 1: definitely want to get into comedy. I want to get
Speaker 1: into action, you know, and just keep working. You know.
Speaker 1: What's what's funny about that is we're looking for an
Speaker 1: action slash comedian on the Dallas Cowboys dot com staff.
Speaker 1: There's an opening, so we we might be able to
Speaker 1: hook you up with that. All right, We'll have our
Speaker 1: people talk. Okay, all right. I think he might be
Speaker 1: a little bit out of our price range, but I
Speaker 1: don't know. We're talking about it. You know, we buy
Speaker 1: a few guys, and you know, I'm a cow biologist
Speaker 1: because because the dead waits speaking of new guys, are
Speaker 1: there any any neither rookies or second or third guys
Speaker 1: that you're looking forward to see what they could do
Speaker 1: out on the field. Yeah, I think I want to see, uh,
Speaker 1: what's his name that came over from the Jaguars the
Speaker 1: other dude, what's his name from the Rams. It's a
Speaker 1: couple of those. Guy. I want to see. I want
Speaker 1: to see what's going on. We got the what's the
Speaker 1: big boy from Alabama running back? Wait till you see
Speaker 1: how big he is in person. I've heard he's he's
Speaker 1: huge man. Yeah, but does he run mean? Yes? He does.
Speaker 1: We don't. I don't want the Brandon Jacobs big it
Speaker 1: is what it is, A big tiptoe. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: want big tiptoe. I want a big, mean, angry problem.
Speaker 1: He gonna bring thunder if they if he can find
Speaker 1: a way. I don't know if they're gonna make him
Speaker 1: play special teams or asking to play special team to
Speaker 1: get on the active day roster. But me, they would
Speaker 1: have got Clemson the second time if he would have
Speaker 1: been if he had to stay healthy, right, that's been
Speaker 1: his issue. He he runs so violent, he hurts himself.
Speaker 1: So I hope you can keep that on this. You
Speaker 1: picked a great day to come out because today is
Speaker 1: the first day they were in pad yesterday for the
Speaker 1: first time. Today will be the first first day that
Speaker 1: they go one on one drills for a length of
Speaker 1: the practice. They did a little bit offensive defense yesterday,
Speaker 1: but only a couple of plays. But today you'll get
Speaker 1: to see him go wide receiver DBS in the pads,
Speaker 1: so maybe maybe you get to see him knocks some
Speaker 1: heads out there today. So I'm excited. I mean, you
Speaker 1: guys are here, you know on the daily basis, what's
Speaker 1: the what's the consensus, what's the feeling. Well, it's so early, man,
Speaker 1: it's so hard to tell right now, I will say this.
Speaker 1: I will say this though. Yesterday I was looking at
Speaker 1: the at the dB group and I'm really interested in
Speaker 1: seeing what Byron Jones can do, just because he didn't
Speaker 1: really do a whole lot of safety and now moving
Speaker 1: him to corner the defensive coordinator where I shouldn't say
Speaker 1: defensive plinning secondary coach who may at some point be
Speaker 1: coordinating part of the defense. I think he believes a
Speaker 1: lot in him. And obviously he's got the skins on
Speaker 1: the wall coming from Seattle and the guys that he
Speaker 1: kind of brought up there. So I'm actually interested to see.
Speaker 1: And then Byron Jones get a really nice pick us today.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that name, but he
Speaker 1: got really nice he got and to me, that was
Speaker 1: all about being able to track the ball, get at
Speaker 1: a high point, make the play right. Because you see
Speaker 1: all the times where quarterbacks make bad throws, but quarterback
Speaker 1: don't always come down with it. He may. He came
Speaker 1: down with it, So I'm really interested in watching him
Speaker 1: a lot more. We got we got seven offensive linement
Speaker 1: now that are interchange. But when we went out and
Speaker 1: got the kid from from New England, Fleming, and we
Speaker 1: got another kid, Maurice Marcus Mark whatever. He didn't have
Speaker 1: a good day, number sixty. He can't go on the
Speaker 1: well but up. But everybody else. Connor Williams, who we drafted,
Speaker 1: he fitting right in. Oh, he looked good. We went
Speaker 1: out first through the first row of one on one
Speaker 1: pass rush. We thumped him that first time to the
Speaker 1: second time. It is a little angler, so they got
Speaker 1: with us a little bit. But we got a front
Speaker 1: six I know that can play man. Okay. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: that was the problem last year was that we've been
Speaker 1: starting and you started losing guys. When you lost Tyren specifically,
Speaker 1: it was tough stuff going. So yeah, they better get after,
Speaker 1: better get after. I want to see what Lawrence is
Speaker 1: gonna do too. Yeah. Followed that up yesterday on pass rush. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's nice, but he did. Yeah, I mean, my boy
Speaker 1: finished so strong. Collins the right tackle finished so strong.
Speaker 1: I was anticipated this is gonna be the best match up.
Speaker 1: Don't match up at all. Man and Collins is much improved.
Speaker 1: That kid is improve That kid mean, I like he plays,
Speaker 1: he plays me, he plays. I mean, but he's once
Speaker 1: he gets that from nest down. Yeah, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a problem. So Tony, So, Tony Dorset, is your is
Speaker 1: your favorite all time player? Right cowboy player? That was
Speaker 1: my Well yeah, I guess you could say because he
Speaker 1: brought me into the fold. Who's your who's your favorite
Speaker 1: current day Cowboy player? Anybody on this team that you
Speaker 1: really gravitate towards. That is a toss up between Dak
Speaker 1: and Zeke personally, Um, Zeke, bro don't don't don't, don't
Speaker 1: get it, don't get a twist. It's a toss up, yo.
Speaker 1: That guy he got he got Biza, he got potential,
Speaker 1: and I think he's a winner. He has that energy.
Speaker 1: I think he's a winn. He's still young. W you
Speaker 1: know there's only two seasons in. You know, Zeke is
Speaker 1: just something special, Zake special man. He tucked that when
Speaker 1: he dropped them shoulders. He reminds me it's so crazy.
Speaker 1: He really does remind me an Emmett, where he doesn't
Speaker 1: look as fast as he can be, doesn't look as
Speaker 1: strong as he can be, doesn't look like he has
Speaker 1: the move, but it's like it's like by inches. Yeah,
