So and all 54 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: that stuff I mentioned I mentioned, I mentioned you would 55 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: be on Sister Sister and all these shows, Moisha and 56 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: all these shows. What what what did? What? You know? 57 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: I know what I liked about you. But the worst 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: thing about knowing somebody you start talking and people don't 59 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: get to experience the true value who you are. What 60 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: did what did most people. You know, you ever saying 61 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: when you're casting, because you as a you're a chamellion. 62 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, you could do it. You could be dropped, tramatic. 63 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: You're a very physical actor, very animated in the phase. 64 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: You could be up, you could be down. I'm talking 65 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: about with volume. And you know, because you can play 66 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: against a big character. Because when he did The Parkers 67 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: playing against Monique, Monique was a big character, you know, 68 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: where he had to go against the grain, like he 69 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: was a person that was a really hard character to 70 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: play because of the fact that he had to act 71 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: like he was disgusted with his character. I would never 72 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: date a character like you, and that's a hard that's 73 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: a hard thing to do, especially when you write that 74 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: character and also you working day to day with that 75 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: character so it doesn't cross that line. That was really 76 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: interesting time for you. Correct on The Parkers. Oh thank god. 77 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: I had the best time. It was uh six years 78 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: of playing with my best friend and I got a 79 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: paycheck for it. You know, you can't better than that. 80 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: You know, we had a great time. We did a 81 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: hundred and ten episodes or something like that. Um, you know, 82 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: it was great and nobody knew you know the magnitude 83 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: of how big that show was gonna be. Well, you know, 84 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: I like that when I came out, I came over 85 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: to that show from the Jamie Foxx Show. And I 86 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: like the reason I came over to the show because 87 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: it was it was one of the first shows on televison, 88 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: especially African American shows, because at that time, if you 89 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: were on TV and you was overweight, you know, you 90 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: was either made or use some you always took care of, right, absolutely, 91 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: you always took care of somebody when you were overweight 92 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: on television. And it was the first show you don't 93 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: tell the truth, you know, this was the first show 94 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: where overweight black women say, I look good, I'm gonna 95 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: dress up, I construct my stuff, and I can get 96 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: the man in my dream. Right, But that was the 97 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: first time. That was the first time right here. Absolutely absolutely. 98 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: We don't know about nick mcgirl, you know, if she 99 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: gonna do me. But I was just telling the truth. 100 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: But that was the that was the That's why I 101 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: came over. You That's where I came over to the 102 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: series because I've never seen that on television, and you know, 103 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: it's brilliantly done by Sara Finni and uh who the 104 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: co creator along with or Vita Spears.
