One thing that 115 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 8: did trigger me when I did The First Best Man. 116 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 8: It was the first time that I had to be 117 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 8: such an emotional spaceically, when I did the wedding scene, 118 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 8: I was crying and I had to be in an 119 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 8: emotional space. 120 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: For so long. 121 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 8: That triggered me for just even thinking about it for 122 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 8: at least at least five to seven years. 123 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 4: What about when y'all did the TV show. 124 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: See I was See. 125 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 8: I had already you know, as an actor, I had 126 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 8: grown and I kind of let some stuff. 127 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: You know. 128 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 8: It's you know, as actors, you know, we use our 129 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 8: trauma in our pain to get there. So I, you know, 130 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 8: I kind of worked, you know, on that, but it 131 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 8: triggered me for a long time on the first Best 132 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 8: Man because you ever. 133 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 4: Get tired of it? Because Boys of the Hood was 134 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 4: so long ago. 135 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: Did you ever realize how impactful that was going to 136 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: be when you when you shot it? 137 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't. 138 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 8: I had no clue because when I when I, I mean, 139 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 8: I was a lead in the movie that nobody knew 140 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 8: who I was and knew who Cuba was. You know, 141 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 8: people knew who Ice Cube was, Angela wasn't Angela, Nia 142 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 8: wasn't Nia. I mean, everybody was, you know, just popping off. 143 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 8: So I didn't think it was gonna be that big. 144 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 7: Now, that's interesting what you said about the Best Man 145 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 7: because to being a role when the TV show came 146 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 7: where in that iteration of it, you know your wife 147 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 7: was deceased. Yes, you had to tap into that emotion 148 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 7: of being a man who lost their wife. 149 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 8: How did you leave that at home? Well, so it's uh, 150 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 8: leave that on the set. Yeah, yeah, so it's okay. 151 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 8: So so that was the first best Man I had that. 152 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 8: So the second Best Man was tough because she was 153 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 8: battling cancer, and I had to do a lot of 154 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 8: emotional scenes then. So I've just learned to manage kind 155 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 8: of those emotions. I've learned to deal with some of 156 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 8: that trauma in a different way now. And actually it's 157 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 8: actually acting is pretty much therapeutic because you're able to 158 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 8: release certain things. And so over the years, that's that's 159 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 8: what's happened. 160 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 7: Were you a fan of Reasonable about season one? 161 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: I was because I literally I was on it. 162 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 8: I was playing a Saturday basketball game and one of 163 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 8: one of the guys there he was like, oo, he said, 164 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 8: we normally after we play, he's you know, we talk 165 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 8: about stupid stuff, dud stuff in the gym or whatever. 166 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 8: And then he just said, hey, you guys seen the 167 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 8: show Reasonable Doubt. And I knew about the show because 168 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 8: I knew Elie was on and I knew AM, but 169 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 8: I hadn't seen it yet. He was like, man, it 170 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 8: was just so odd to hear him say that on 171 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 8: the court. You know what I'm saying, And so he said, 172 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 8: you got to check it out, and so yeah, so 173 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 8: before I did the show, I was definitely fan because 174 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 8: I watched it because. 175 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: He told me to. 176 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 5: And what was harder for you? Because Jackson is different 177 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 5: season one versus season two. What was the harder draw 178 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 5: for you as an actress, like pulling from the experiences. 179 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 6: Was it harder for season one or harder for season. 180 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 3: Two for you? 181 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 5: I think I would definitely say season two, just because 182 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 5: of you know, she's showing a lot more vulnerability as 183 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 5: a result of what happened in season one. Yes, you know, 184 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 5: so that just it required, just like Morris was saying, 185 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 5: you know, I got to pull from some of those places, 186 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 5: you know, that kind of thing. So it was it 187 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 5: was more of a challenge in that way. You know, 188 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 5: I had to decide to open myself up. 189 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: A lot of times when you see people in the 190 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: soap opera world, they never leave the soap proper world, 191 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 2: but you did so cool. So break down the soap 192 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: proper world and what got you in the soap proper 193 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: I will first I want to know how you got 194 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: into acting. Because you're a military child. Usually that means 195 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 2: you're traveling all over the place, your parents are heavy 196 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: into education. What got you into acting from the start? 197 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: It was something that I always loved. 198 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 5: I always loved, but I didn't know that it could 199 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 5: be a choice to be a career, you know, And 200 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 5: for a long time, it was just fun, just a hobby. 201 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 5: And I thought that I had it planned out. I 202 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 5: was going to go to law school. I was going 203 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 5: to be a lawyer. My father wanted me to go 204 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 5: to the military, but I said, Okay, I think I'm 205 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 5: going to. 206 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: Be a lawyer. 207 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 5: But in high school I had a girlfriend who also 208 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 5: wanted to be a lawyer, and we had our whole plan. 209 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 5: It was going to be Cornaldi and Sweety incorporated, you know. 210 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 5: But I realized, thankfully, before you know, graduation, Okay, no, 211 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 5: I don't really want to be a lawyer. I'm not 212 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 5: trying to go to law school like she was taking 213 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 5: it serious and all out these SATs. 214 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 3: I'm like, am I doing all that? A lawyer? Now? 215 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: She's a lawyer now. So we went in the right path. 216 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 5: I realized, No, I think I just I like the drama, 217 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 5: like the suits and you know, all of that in 218 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 5: the courtroom. And so that's the moment when I knew, 219 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 5: and I kind of started pursuing it at that point. 220 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 5: And this was in I graduated high school in Jersey. 221 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 5: My last two years were out there in Kansas that 222 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 5: was all over the place, and then went back to 223 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 5: Jersey and really started studying and back and forth up 224 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 5: here to New York all my off off off Broadway 225 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 5: classes and all of that, and then that was it. 226 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 4: That was it. 227 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 5: And my first role was that that role in Young 228 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 5: and Arrest, and that was because that was my mom's show. 229 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 5: And she said to her, you know, that was me 230 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 5: making it. She says, you got to get him young 231 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 5: and directed run the restles until Victor I said Hi. 232 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 5: And so the bitter sweet moment about that for me 233 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 5: is because my mom passed before that happened, before she 234 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 5: got to see and so as soon as I got on. 235 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 3: The set, I said, Victor, I just got to tell 236 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 3: you. You know, my mom just loves you so. 237 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,599 Speaker 5: And that was a small that was really and I 238 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 5: think that's how I the reason why I didn't get 239 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 5: caught up in it and staying there because it was 240 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 5: a small role, but it was truly one of the 241 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 5: most meaningful ones to me to this day because of that. 242 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 6: Wow, that's so alarmed. 243 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 4: Your first your first scene Mars is a sex scene. 244 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 7: Do you ever have to tell these studios not to 245 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 7: not to objectify you? 246 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 4: Cause we heard MEPhI Man once say he always, you know, 247 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 4: pushed back against his sex symbol status. 248 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 7: Do you ever have to tell these studios like, look, 249 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 7: you know, I know I'm Maris Chestnut. 250 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: You can't be. 251 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 6: We would know the difference. 252 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 4: Or do you ever feel like it being objectified? Maybe 253 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: it is a better question. 254 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: I don't see that that way. You know. 255 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 8: It's almost like because people sometimes they ask me, they say, 256 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 8: do you get mad when people call you Ricky all 257 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 8: the time? 258 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: And people see me on. 259 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 8: The street, And honestly, the one thing about me is 260 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 8: that I have never ever forgotten where I come from, right, 261 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 8: and and when I was an actor, just starting out, 262 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 8: trying to get an agent, just trying to get a part, 263 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 8: just say oh, just somebody cast me.

And so it just so happens 266 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 8: that that role that I was, that I was dying 267 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 8: to get to be able to get more work, was 268 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 8: a role that it was. It was a it was 269 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 8: a blessing that it's still still relevant and people still 270 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 8: refer to it to this very day. So now just 271 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 8: because people say Ricky almost every day, I'm not going 272 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 8: to turn around and say, oh man, I hate when 273 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 8: people call me Ricky because I was so I would 274 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 8: desire it so much. So to your question about you know, studios, 275 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 8: I don't think they objectify me. 276 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: I think that. 277 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 8: I've been in the business a long time and the 278 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 8: younger Morris would not have imagined that he would be 279 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 8: here to this very single day after all these years. 280 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 8: So I'm just I'm I'm just blessed, and I'm very 281 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 8: appreciative of the fact that they still want to cast me, 282 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 8: because in our industry, you know, no one really retires 283 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 8: from our industry. Our industry retires us the phone stops ringing. 284 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 8: So as long as the phone is still ringing, I'm 285 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 8: gonna keep picking up. 286 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: And I appreciate it. 287 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 7: But it's one thing to be a great actor what 288 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 7: you are, but it's another to be considered a heart drop. 289 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 4: Right, It's only like a kind of like it's like 290 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 4: Denzel Mars. Who else puts in that lane historically? Mm hmmm? 291 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 4: Who else? 292 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: Michael B. 293 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 9: Jordan's Michael, Yeah, he kind of say from Queen Sugar, 294 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 9: Dark Skin. 295 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 6: Queen Sugar. 296 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: Is the he's there. 297 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 6: Where we're at right now. But I think, honestly, you didn't. 298 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 9: It's y'all level of it's like maybe two or three 299 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 9: that are to go to mainly you though, like you get, 300 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 9: you do get a lot of the posts and stuff 301 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 9: online don't come from Charlemagn's instagram. 302 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 8: I think to the answer to that question is for me, 303 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 8: I don't. I don't focus on it because you know, 304 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 8: it's it's this is the type of industry. There's you know, 305 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 8: there's there's there's gonna be somebody else tomorrow, there's gonna 306 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 8: be somebody else the next day. 307 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: So I just focused. Honestly. 308 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 8: I just try to focus on doing the best job 309 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 8: I can as an actor with his job, and if 310 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 8: that comes with it, I'm appreciative of it. If that's 311 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 8: what people say, I'm appreciative of that. 312 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't focus on that. 313 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 8: I just have to focus on the work because that's 314 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 8: going to keep me here longer than being a you know, 315 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 8: if people consider sex and the real more. 316 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: Is shutting up. Was the sexiest man alive in twenty fifteen. 317 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 2: The reason I got to say that because sometimes he 318 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 2: puts his face there and. 319 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 4: I've never done that. 320 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 7: But if you wanted to call him the sexiest man alive, 321 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 7: that's fine. If you want to use you to do that. 322 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 7: I've never done that. 323 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 2: I was going to ask, how does your wife deal 324 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 2: with it all, you know, with women hollering when you're 325 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 2: allowed and the comments. 326 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: How does she how does she handle it? 327 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 8: Well, I mean, my wife is a star in our 328 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 8: family for sure.

She's it's like we've been together a 335 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 8: long long time and so you know, she knows what 336 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 8: it is. You know, I'm not going nowhere, hopefully she's 337 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 8: not going anywhere. But uh, it's she's she's cool with it. 338 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 8: What about your kids, That's a good that's an interesting question. 339 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 8: We've never really had the conversation about it.

But 459 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 5: it's not something that I think about because there's an 460 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 5: element of it that is true. 461 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 3: It's there.
