Yes, indeed. 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: And you were also in the Hate Too Gifts, so 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: obviously you and Anti c Thomas have a good relationship. 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's great. I haven't seen her in a while, 16 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: but she keeps bustling out these books and she's amazing. 17 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: So I feel like everybody you work with loves you, 18 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: because then you did um, you worked with Jamie Fox, Yes, 19 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: and you did Project Power, Thank You, Thank you. Now 20 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: he's eping my one woman show exactly, So tell me 21 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: about that conversation, because I know that's been important for you. 22 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Subverted. So I wrote my one on his 23 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: show as my thesis, excuse me to graduate from college. 24 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: And a lot of times i paced university. I was 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: the only black person in my class, and in this 26 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: particular class, it was sociology. And this white boy said 27 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: if African American males in low income communities just normally, 28 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: they wouldn't be stopped by the police. Wow. Yeah, And 29 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I was so mad, and I 30 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: was debating with him, and I was stumbling over my words. 31 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: And I realized that and I looked around to see 32 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: if anybody could like talk with me, and nobody could 33 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: because nobody came from where I came from. Wow. And 34 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: so I said, for an hour and twenty minutes, it's 35 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: predominantly white university. Is gonna have to sit in my 36 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: truth and the truth of people who come from areas 37 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: like mine. So I wrote Subverted and with that in mind. 38 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: And then when I was doing Project Power, Jamie heard 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: about it. He saw some things from it, and it 40 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: was like, we have to be everywhere, and I was, Okay, 41 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: what do we have to do? He was like, just 42 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: semi script and it's done. So then like a couple 43 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: of weeks later, I was like, do you need anything else? 44 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: And then I consider it done and I was like okay. 45 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: Then a whole year went by. We had to do 46 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: reshoots for UH for Project Power for a month, and 47 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: he didn't bring it up at all. And you didn't 48 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: bring it up. I was like, yeah, I'm yeah. I 49 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: didn't want to sweat my part. I did my part. 50 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: I have been emailing people and writing people about this 51 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: for so long that I mean, he said he was 52 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: going to do it, and then top of twenty twenty 53 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: he got his like production coming together and like I 54 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: was one of the first calls he made, and so 55 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: he wanted to do subverted. What about the suiting that 56 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: said that to you? Do you have you bumped into them? 57 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: Or no? No, I wouldn't even remember what he looked like. 58 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: To be honest, he liked to be honest. No, but no, 59 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: to be honest him, no, it was but it was 60 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: just I think it was an impetus for me to 61 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: do it. It wasn't about maybe he was just an energy. 62 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't about him as a as a person. It 63 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: was just about his experiences and his lack of awareness 64 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: and he's not the only one. Yeah, so he represented. 65 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: Yeah he feels like I just wondered, like he if 66 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: he sees your success, just maybe he remembers maybe you won't. Yeah, 67 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: they should, I mean because honestly, and for you coming 68 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: from East New York, how did they fail as you 69 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: being like a hometown hero.

And I read Brooklyn so hard. So 73 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm just proud that they're proud. So let's talk about 74 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: your background a little, because it's not like you have 75 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: family that was in the film or television business.

I'm always like 184 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: and even like, um, there was a movie where you 185 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: were with your little sister you just yet night comes on. 186 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: I mean amazing the different roles that you've been able 187 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: to play so far. And before we get into Swan 188 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: because we got to talk about that in a second 189 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: year in the new Transformers movie two hundred million dollar budget. 190 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: Where did you guys film that? We filmed it in 191 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: Montreal and Canada, and we filmed it in Peru on 192 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: Manto Pecho, which we're like one of the first and 193 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: only actors to act on mantecause the secret ground. So 194 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: they had a seaman come and bless the production to 195 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: let us be able to use it, and we couldn't. 196 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: We couldn't drink or eat or anything on the mountain. 197 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: So you would have the hike all way up the 198 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: mountain and then if you had to do anything, you 199 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: had to go all the way back down. Oh wow, 200 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: what was that experience like for you? Mentally? It was? 201 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: It was definitely hard. I mean we were in the 202 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: we were in a jungle where like if there was 203 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: a poison frog, if you get bad, you could die 204 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: an out like it was crazy thing. Yeah, I mean 205 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: they cleared as much as possible, but it's still the 206 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: wild and you know, the temperatures up in the mountains 207 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: is so cold and it's like eleven thousand feet above 208 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: sea level, so that, yeah, you got to use the 209 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: oxygen mass sometimes. Did you have to train for that 210 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: because I know sometimes when people climb mountains and they 211 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: do all of that, they have to train. We did 212 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: not train for the Okay, should we have. I think 213 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: we should have changed for a lot. I would have 214 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: gotten a like physical training, like at least at least 215 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: five months before I did, and I didn't. And let's 216 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: be clear, you and Anthony Ramos a starring in that 217 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: Brooklyn zone? Yes? What was that? Like? Two Brooklyn people 218 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 1: airing any Transformers? Well, the cherry on top is that 219 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: our characters are actually from Brooklyn as well. Woe. Yeah, 220 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: so we get we really got to bring our own 221 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: like Brooklyn sauce to it. And it was nice because 222 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: I obviously I knew him from before and we always 223 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: talked about wanting to do a project together, like something epic, 224 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: and we couldn't have imagine that it would be this epic. 225 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: And you moved to La. So what's the Brooklyn girl 226 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: in La? How is that? Um? It's cool. I tell 227 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: people that I was looking for ways to soften I 228 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: think obviously being from East New York and having a 229 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: hearted exterior because of what you had to go through 230 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: or how to like you have to survive even look 231 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: within the industry as well. But going to La allow me, 232 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: at this point in my life to just soften a 233 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: little bit and kind of peel back the layers and 234 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: see who irraally am. Because I'm such a romantic. That's like, 235 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: you want to do a comrade? Oh yes, please, That's 236 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: why I don't want to do It's so funny. I 237 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: watched Lucille Ball growing up and said I want to 238 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: be like Lucy. That was like the first bit of acting. 239 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: I said, Man, I gotta be like Lucy. And then 240 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: I did. Uh. I did show me Harrow and the 241 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: Duce on HBO with David Simon, who wrote The Wire, 242 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: and that legitimately started my whole career in doing drama 243 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: and essentially, like a lot of the stuff that I 244 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: had acted and wasn't stuff that I would actually watch. 245 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm watching like Vampire Diries and like, you know, like 246 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: those kind of shows. Uh. Maybe I don't know why 247 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: The Duces my show too. That's when I discover who 248 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: you were in The Deuce because I was I kind 249 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: of fell in love with your character and a lot 250 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: of the characters on there. How, what was the what 251 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: was the hardest part about playing that or was there 252 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: any hard parts about playing that role. Oh, you know, 253 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: it's so long ago. I like sometimes after the fact, 254 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: after he filmed something, you could just remember all like 255 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: the good things. So I'm sure there were moments that 256 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: were hard, but um, ultimately I loved I loved my cast. 257 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: I was really honored because I did show me Haro 258 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: with David and um. Then he says, I don't know 259 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: if you heard about my new show that I'm working on. 260 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: I was like no. He said, well, it's it's called 261 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: The Dude, It's I wrote a role with you in mine. 262 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: But it's not a role you take just to take it, 263 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: because while it's about the rise of the porn industry 264 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies and Times Square, so if you 265 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: should read the scripts and if you don't want to 266 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: do it, it's no harm, no foul. Yeah. And that 267 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: really meant a lot to me that he would say that, 268 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: because it allowed me to say, Okay, if I don't 269 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: want to do this role, it's not going to mess 270 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: up my relationship with David Simon. He had the wherewithal 271 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: already to know, Hey, this is a young actresses is 272 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: a big ask. I respect her anyway, So let me 273 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: just say it like this, okay, you know, and it 274 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: was empowering. I was thoughtful. Yeah, And that's great because 275 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: and we saw this too when you just Swarm. You 276 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: initially were offered the role of Marissa and you said, no, 277 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 1: I actually would like to do this other role. So 278 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: for the courage for you to even be able to 279 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: say that, because sometimes I know, it's not an easy 280 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: business to be in and an opportunity like this comes 281 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, let's just go and it's still 282 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: a great role. By the way, Yeah, Marissa's role was 283 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: still a great role too. But what made you say that? Like, what, 284 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: how did you know this is what my goal is? Yeah? 285 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: I mean I go back to that girl who wrote 286 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: in the journal younger self, like when she saw actors, 287 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: she said, this is what I want to do. There 288 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: was Monster, Charlie Stron it was boys done cry, Hilary Swank. 289 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: You know, he's ledgend, a joker and just being able 290 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: to be like, if I got an opportunity to act 291 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 1: and be something so far from what I am, you know, 292 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: the character. I love all of my characters and they're 293 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: they're all different in certain ways, but they're also easy 294 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: easier for me to tap into because it's a place 295 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: why Jane generally can live, but Dre is so far removed. 296 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: So it allowed me to see what I can do 297 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: as an actor and stretch myself. So when you know 298 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 1: they offered me that role, I was okay, thank you, 299 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: but I knew that I didn't want to do it 300 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: because it does take a lot, and I knew that 301 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: I was ready one to lead a project and that 302 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: I could do it. So I had to say, I'm sorry, 303 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys offering me this, but I want 304 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: to do this one. And then got on the phone 305 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: with Donald and he was like, like, why do you 306 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: want to do that one? And I said, well, I 307 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: don't want to catch up to myself as an actor. 308 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: What does that mean? That means I don't want to 309 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: I don't even want to know what I'm gonna do next, 310 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: Like like, why why would I Why do why I 311 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: limit myself? And he said the reason why he thought 312 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: of me as Marissa is because of the roles that 313 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: I've played, Right, Because you're warm, you're warm, you know, 314 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: you're loving, we recognize you, we feel like your family. 315 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: So that's why I initial that's why he's That's why 316 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: I initially thought of you as Marissa, And now I 317 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: have to just see what the world looks like if 318 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: you were not Marissa and you would Dray.

She had to honestly learn things really fast, 335 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: and she picked it up so fast. And I had 336 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: been working, had done what four episodes already because we 337 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: shot wanted them out of order, and and it's a 338 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: lot of work. It's like seventeen hour days sometimes I'm 339 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: doing all of this week after week, and so you 340 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: want somebody who comes and can bring it too. I'm 341 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: thankful when I get seen partners that because I'm gonna 342 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: do what I gotta do, like and to be to 343 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: be like able to play off of another actor, and 344 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: for her to deliver the way she did, I just 345 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: I love the scene and she's such a nice and 346 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: warm person, so I just feel I felt blessed. How 347 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: do you prepare for a role like Dre, Yeah, to 348 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: prepare for that. So after I asked for the role, 349 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: he said, well, if that's the role you want, that's 350 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: the role you get. Yes, yeah, okay, So I didn't 351 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: have to bring it. Yeah. I didn't have the audition 352 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: for it or fight for it any of those things. 353 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: And I've been used to, like generally in life, like 354 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: fighting for something, So I was like, oh shoot. But 355 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: once he said that, I was like, do I really 356 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: want to row? Like why? Like what? I don't even 357 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: know what? Like I read three episodes, there's still four 358 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: more to go, Like what does that mean, what does 359 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: that look like? What will I have to do? And 360 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: initially they told us to watch this movie called The 361 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: Piano Teacher, right, and that movie is crazy and it 362 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: really made me consider the type of actor that I 363 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: thought I was. Am. I brave, you know, and I 364 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: what I take the opportunity And so once it was 365 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: given to me, I had to pray about it. And 366 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: I pray and I said, God, if it's not an 367 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: alignment for what you see for my life, then please 368 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: take it away easily. Otherwise I'm gonna go full force 369 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: towards it, right, And then I had to journal and 370 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: identify anything that gave me pause, made me afraid, and 371 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: see if it was actually something that really was in 372 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: me that I was afraid, like like not afraid of 373 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: it and said something inside of me, but like, if 374 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: it's something that really doesn't sit well with my spirit, 375 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: then I have to address it. But if it's for 376 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: fear of perception or jokes or whatever it's gonna be, 377 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: then I'm not doing a serve. IM doing a disservice 378 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: to myself and to the opportunity and the gift that 379 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: God gave me to be here and say okay and 380 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: you know, I have all of these people messaging saying, 381 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: we've never seen a character like this never. H's my 382 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: favorite genre. So when I first saw that you were 383 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: doing this, I was really excited and I was like 384 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: the day it came out, I was like going home tonight, 385 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: yes to start watching Swarm and you killed it in 386 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: that role. And I saw they had to have people 387 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: on set also, Yeah, I asked for that, ask for 388 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 1: a therapist because when we did judic in the Black Messiah, 389 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: it actually the day we shot the assassination scene was 390 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: a day was like the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination 391 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: the Timan Friend. So energetically it was very heavy, and 392 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: I remember that night before I had we had to 393 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: do scene, I felt so anxious and I just I 394 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: was like, I felt something bad was going to happen. 395 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: So I did wrong and nothing bad is going to 396 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: happen to Daniel, Like I had to keep telling myself. 397 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: I realized that my body couldn't diff fanci between what 398 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: I made my mind believe and if that happened by 399 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: being love, then what cous we happened? Were doing something 400 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: like that's heavy, so I said, And then when we 401 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: did that scene. We were all like, man, we should 402 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: have had a therapist on the set. So once I 403 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: knew I was doing SWARM, I was like, well, we 404 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: need a therapist on set, not just for me, but 405 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: for the other actors and the crew members, because we 406 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: don't know how people are going to be triggered. Did 407 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: you have sessions afterwards or in between with the therapists 408 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: on set or you just it was just someone that 409 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: know that you digitally they were there. Oh yeah, we talked. 410 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: Sometimes you would come into my trailer and talk to me. 411 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes I wouldn't talk about anything. We just have lunch 412 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: and talk about other stuff. But I had my therapist 413 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: too that I talked to. And trying to make time 414 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: and contracts for actors to have their therapy session because 415 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: we all know that the schedule for shooting is not consistent, 416 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: So how do you make room for your mental health 417 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: while you're shooting, Because at the end of the day, 418 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna move on. The director's gonna go direct something else, 419 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: the crew is going to go do something else, but 420 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: the actor is going to be left with whatever they 421 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: took with them from a character, right, And so we 422 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: have to start making time and space for actors to 423 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: be human and get taken care of why so so yeah, so, um, 424 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: what about people's reactions to you? Since then? I can 425 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: just imagine people sending you messages and looking at you 426 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: for real like you are this person. Well again, I 427 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: see messages where people are like, oh, you know, she 428 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: did her thing because I don't want to I don't 429 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: want to meet domin the street or like I want 430 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: to know what Dom is like um in real life, 431 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: and I mean that's cool. Right? Do you think any 432 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: of this would have happened if her sister wouldn't wouldn't 433 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: have committed suicide on um? What was that? Was that 434 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: her sister or her friends? It's her first Well you gotta, 435 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to get any but I mean it's 436 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: out now sometime, there's a lot of articles about it 437 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: and it's been out. But do you think any of 438 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: that because I didn't know that at first either. I 439 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: was trying to figure it out. But do you think 440 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: that would have happened still, like, or you think that's 441 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: what made herself? That's definitely, that's definitely what made her snap. 442 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: UM would have had still, I mean, there would be 443 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: no show if she didn't, right, she wouldn't have snap, 444 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: but I think she definitely lost her her grip on reality. 445 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: I think I think when she went to the apartment 446 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: at like the end, I think she was looking for 447 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: somebody who knew Marissa O the way she knew her 448 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: and could give her that seemed kind of familiarity, but 449 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: she couldn't find it. What kind of saving grace do 450 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: we have for a character like Dre because it is 451 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: trauma that she's experienced in her life to make her 452 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: act that way. So for you, when you dig into 453 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: that character, where do you find like the humanity and 454 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: her um? You know? That's that's my main objective always. 455 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: That's why I had a journal as myself, because I 456 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: had to remove any fears or judgments that I have 457 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: of the character. Because you will not do a disservice. 458 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: You will not do a service or character if you 459 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: do that, And that's what you learn to act in 460 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: one oh one. You have to be a clean slate 461 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: so you could be a clear vessel. So really I 462 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: didn't study anything outside of outside of Dre. I literally said, 463 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: what is the universal thing that I understand and that 464 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: the audience will understand? Love? She loves her sister, right, 465 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: she loves Marissas. Were you surprised that there was such 466 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: a big reaction about your character online, because I feel 467 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: like this is the first time where it's been such 468 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: a big reaction about with any of your work that 469 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: you were you surprised? Uh, I wasn't surprised, which is 470 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: why I think, which is why I had to make 471 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: room and when I first said I wanted to do 472 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: the role and had to journal because it's gonna be 473 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: like either you might love or hate the show, but 474 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: people are talking. Regardless of if you love or hate it, 475 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: people are talking about it. You're gonna have an opinion 476 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: about the characters. And this is my first time leading 477 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: a project, but not only leading a project, producing, not 478 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: only producing, but you know a lot of times with 479 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: series you have you have a ABC storyline, you follow 480 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: other characters, right, you don't follow any other characters. It's 481 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: one storyline, right. So that means I'm in almost every 482 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: frame of every single shot episode, right. So that means 483 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: that it's literally going to be my face and my life. 484 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: Was a lot of work. Yeah, it's a lot of 485 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: reward too, because people are really really enjoying it. Is 486 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: there any I was gonna say. They were also a 487 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: lot of think pieces other things that you're like, Okay, 488 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: y'all are like doing too much. I mean I knew, yeah, 489 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: oh manny on every little thing, like the backlash that 490 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: Chloe barely got her doing that scene. In the beginning, 491 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't even think I understood that 492 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: people would want to see that, because everybody's like that 493 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: was the first thing. Everybody wanted to see the sex scene, right, like, 494 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: that's that attorney. But I was like, why are people mad? 495 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: Yeah she did that. I mean, we're actors at the 496 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: end of the day, right, acting. He took a role 497 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: that was part of the role and yeah, and she's 498 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: like and also really, I mean I think for people 499 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: who was watching it with like an artistic eye or 500 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: just like a human eye, you move past that and 501 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: you see that she is a brilliant actress. Right. That 502 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: scene that Dre and Mercy have when she wants to 503 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: leave is one of the most heartbreaking scenes. And after that, 504 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: we were legitimately like shaking up after that scene. You know, 505 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, we really like transferred energy while we 506 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: were doing while we were doing that scene, and it's 507 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: such beautiful work. She came in and lent herself to Marissa. 508 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: In order for us to even remotely care about Dre 509 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: and her mission, you have to have a Marissa that 510 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: you care about, and that's not easy to do in 511 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: one episode, right, because I imagine you wake up and 512 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: you didn't get these calls and you're devastated because you 513 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: feel like you could have prevented something right from happening. 514 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: But I also said, like, there's a sensitivity that Chloe 515 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: as a as a person has and she brings it 516 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: to the character in that you know a lot of times, 517 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: like when growing up, you could be in a friend 518 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: group and it might be that friend that's always kind 519 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: of picking at you and your mom, Like I don't 520 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: know if that's your friend because why you know, And 521 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: Dre is very easy for people to pick on, right, 522 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: But Marissa does not do that, and that she does 523 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: a testament to Chloe because Chloe didn't pick moments to 524 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: be annoyed with Dre and like pick at her when 525 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: she could have. As an actor, everything was love everybody. 526 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: I gotta now, I want to go back and look 527 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: at it again to find your point of view. Watch it. 528 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: Do you think there's um or I don't even know 529 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: if you care. Do you think there's any big misconception 530 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: about Dre the character that you see online at it? 531 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: You think, I mean people think she killed Marissa. Yeah, 532 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: I mean I don't think she killed Marissa. Yeah. I 533 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: don't think I did for a second think that because 534 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 1: I also feel like watching it the delusion and then 535 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: you're like, well, maybe that did happen, But then I 536 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: realized that's not what happened as it went on. But 537 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad thing. Yeah, I don't 538 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: think so. I think I think people are talking about it, 539 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: which makes it cool. My friend told me, like, oh, 540 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: I was at this pregame and everybody's just talking about Swarm, 541 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: and so that's dope. People just continuously talking about the show. 542 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: And I think that's what the creatives wanted to, like 543 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: have people just talking. Nothing in art is perfect. Everything 544 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: is subjective. So you just have to like kind of 545 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: see what you like and see what you don't like, 546 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: and just and talk about it and then move on 547 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: or and make your own art or like, you know, 548 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: make it art. Would you'd be interested in a pre 549 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: equal or a sequel? No? No, I don't need to 550 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: it's unnecessary. And I saw Donald Glever getting back last 551 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: two for even creating this. What was your experience like 552 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: working with Donald Glever? I mean, he only did the pilot, 553 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, so when I when I wanted to do 554 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: this role, I like I said, I wanted to do 555 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: it because I wanted to stretch myself as an actor. Um, 556 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: And they didn't come with a lot of like, oh, 557 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: do it like this, do it like that. It was 558 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: like show up on the set and do what I 559 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: do and then we'll move from there. So you know, 560 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 1: that was my my experience. Are you able to get 561 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: feedback on certain things that the character says, like I 562 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: think she would do this instead or I think she 563 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: was Oh that's all I did, Like it's very important 564 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: to me. It was, you know, there was a lot 565 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: of things, and that's why I wanted to be a 566 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: producer on the show. Like I didn't. I don't write 567 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: the show, I don't edit the show. You know, you 568 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: don't have control over that as an actor. But for me, 569 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: I could only approach stuff the way I approach everything, 570 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: and that's the way I approach Dre is the way 571 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: I approached deb and Tramp and uh, Judas is the 572 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: way I approached Elena and Transformers. It's the way I 573 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: approached Robbin and Tyler me Gray and Project Power like 574 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: I do it the same way. And it's all humanity first, 575 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: because if you don't have that as an actor for 576 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: your character, then you have nothing. Has it be? I've 577 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: responded to this because all the speculation, Yeah, I don't. 578 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, um, honestly, I've just been getting a 579 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: lot of love and support and so that's what I 580 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, somebody asked me if I was fair that. 581 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: I said, well, I don't manifest that. I mean, I 582 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: manifest love. So I mean, and that's what I've been getting. 583 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: You know, I've been getting a lot of a lot 584 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: of love. So I'm that's that's what I experienced. Do 585 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: you have any artist that you really love? I mean 586 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: not as much as Rake, but you know, is there 587 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: an artist that you I'm to go hard for? I 588 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: don't see. I was saying, I'm like, probably the worst stand. 589 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: The first concert I ever saw was in twenty eighteen. 590 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: What was that? It was jay Z It was four 591 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: full four. Yeah, yeah, that was the first one I 592 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: ever saw. I don't think I you know, I could 593 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: look at TV and say, oh, man, I want to 594 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: be an actor. But I couldn't look at TV when 595 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: I was younger and said, oh, shoot, Michael Jackson might 596 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: be in New York City, right, can't take me to it. 597 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: It just didn't cross my mind that I'd be able 598 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: to see these people in real life. So I have. 599 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: Of course, I had posters on my wall Eliah and 600 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: I had Eminem, so I would wrap the whole third 601 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: versus stand so that's ironic. Um. I would have like 602 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: B two K and things like that, and like, yeah, 603 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: I also feel like growing up in New York, we 604 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: do run into people sometimes, Like even when I was younger, 605 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: sometimes I would go places and be like, oh, shoot, 606 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: there goes such and such. Sometimes in other places you 607 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: don't run into people like you do. You know, in 608 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: the I don't even know that I ran And I 609 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: didn't really run into many people. I don't know if 610 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: I was not in the right in like areas, circle cases. 611 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: Could I'd randomly be walking around Manhattan and you're like, oh, 612 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: this is your celebrities just walking down the black by himself. 613 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: I remember I did meet when I was like sixteen 614 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: years old, I met Ben Affleck. Oh yeah, because I was. 615 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: I was in this theater company called MCC and in 616 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: order to act, you had to write your own stuff. 617 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: So we had this rehearsal in this um this space 618 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: and it was different rehearsal rooms.
