1:51
Speaker 1: films where people playing around, going to those you know,

2:05

2:28
Speaker 1: the highest grossing film of all time. Uh. The Avengers
2:33
Speaker 1: Endgame just re released trying to take us down. But
2:37
Speaker 1: I don't think they're not gonna. They've been able to
2:39
Speaker 1: do it. Thirty seven million sharp, bro, that's a lot
2:42
Speaker 1: to make up on the movie, man, because the thing
2:44
Speaker 1: about it they did well though, that ain't nothing to
2:47
Speaker 1: you know that. You know, you can't take it away
2:49
Speaker 1: from him. They did a great movie too. I enjoyed it.
2:51
Speaker 1: I want to go see it absolutely. But um, but yeah, man,
2:55
Speaker 1: I think what I think. Even we were surprised, to
2:57
Speaker 1: be honest with you about Avatar because I remember when
2:59
Speaker 1: we were filming this movie. Um, James Cameron would tell us,
3:02
Speaker 1: you know, uh, don't expect to beat Titanic. Told he said,
3:07
Speaker 1: our success or failure is not whether or not we
3:11
Speaker 1: beat Titanic. He said. The difference between Nothing Titanic was
3:15
Speaker 1: was you had a young, you know, good looking Leonardo
3:18
Speaker 1: DiCaprio where high school girls were going out to see it,
3:21
Speaker 1: you know, five six times a week with all their girlfriends,
3:26
Speaker 1: you know, all the little high school girls. They were
3:27
Speaker 1: like high school girls are gonna come out to see
3:30
Speaker 1: Blue People five or six times a week. And so
3:34
Speaker 1: so our expectations weren't to be in the number one spot.
3:38
Speaker 1: We just wanted to do a great film. Man. I
3:40
Speaker 1: think sometimes you know, when you stay focused on the
3:43
Speaker 1: craft and you stay focused on doing the absolute best. Yeah,
3:47
Speaker 1: you know, for me, it was this was my opportunity
3:50
Speaker 1: to do my Star Wars. You know, I wanted to
3:54
Speaker 1: be in Star Wars when I was a kid. I
3:56
Speaker 1: grew up watching Star Wars. That was the movie that
3:58
Speaker 1: I grew up idolizing. So when I got this opportunity,
4:01
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, this is my Star Wars. And so
4:04
Speaker 1: I was already happy to be in the film. Um
4:07
Speaker 1: once as I started for the first time, you know,
4:09
Speaker 1: we screened it and it was crazy because at the time,
4:12
Speaker 1: you know, Arnold Schwartznaker was governor, you know, Steven Spielberg
4:16
Speaker 1: was at the screen and I didn't expect to see
4:18
Speaker 1: all these types of people at the screening. And I
4:20
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I hope I did a good job,
4:24
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and uh, and I was.
4:28
Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised. Man like thirty minutes into the movie,
4:31
Speaker 1: I didn't care who was in there. I was so
4:34
Speaker 1: locked in. I was like, Okay, we really made something
4:37
Speaker 1: special here. That's when I started to really really feel it.
4:40
Speaker 1: You know the thing about it, I I look at
4:42
Speaker 1: it because I know who you are, you know, as
4:45
Speaker 1: an as an Acreen actor, and I know a lot
4:47
Speaker 1: of people who don't understand the about it. It It actually
4:49
Speaker 1: will work to do those type of roles. Were you
4:52
Speaker 1: morphing into the character makeup and all that stuff, and
4:55
Speaker 1: blue screen and green screen, all kind of stuff to
4:57
Speaker 1: be able to accomplish those casts. That's a lot of work.
5:00
Speaker 1: That That means you have to be patient, You have
5:01
Speaker 1: to be polite, You have to be aware that it
5:05
Speaker 1: might it might be one, two, three, four or five
5:07
Speaker 1: six takes to get it right. What holds you true
5:10
Speaker 1: to your craft when people see the success of your
5:12
Speaker 1: story and I know the journey way back in the
5:15
Speaker 1: l A back in two thousands. You know, when Steve
5:17
Speaker 1: Harvey and I were doing the radio and you were
5:19
Speaker 1: just just like everybody else, man, and I guess what,
5:22
Speaker 1: we're not comfortable, But you know, back then there were
5:24
Speaker 1: no options. It was just I had a dream right,
5:26
Speaker 1: talk about that journey a right, Um, you know want
5:30
Speaker 1: for me? Um, you know the first parties question when
5:33
Speaker 1: you talk about the transformation, that's what I pride myself on.
5:37
Speaker 1: You know, uh I didn't want to be one of
5:40
Speaker 1: these actors that played the same exact character every single
5:43
Speaker 1: movie where it really seems like they're playing themselves. You know,
5:45
Speaker 1: you if you can imitate an actor, then they didn't transform.
5:50
Speaker 1: You know, they can gave you what they always give you,
5:53
Speaker 1: whereas uh I wanted to always become a completely different
5:57
Speaker 1: human being in every single role, to the point where
5:59
Speaker 1: you don't recognizing where it's an unrecognizable person from me,
6:04
Speaker 1: from yan to me, that's acting right. And you know,
6:10
Speaker 1: I'll never forget when I did Spike LEAs movie Miracle
6:13
Speaker 1: at Saint Anna, people thought it was Jeffrey Right that
6:16
Speaker 1: played the old man in the film. Now, I wan't
6:19
Speaker 1: huge Jeffrey Right game. So to me, that was a
6:22
Speaker 1: compliment to be confused to have my work confused for
6:25
Speaker 1: his Jeffrey Right, because that's telling me that, Yeah, that's
6:27
Speaker 1: that's telling me that, Okay, that was a good for Camers.
6:31
Speaker 1: You know, you never hear his name in a bad
6:32
Speaker 1: performance and absolutely not. But but but yeah, man, I
6:36
Speaker 1: mean that that was my goal was not to be
6:39
Speaker 1: not not that I wanted to be confused with Jeffrey
6:41
Speaker 1: right but you're just when there's a body of people
6:44
Speaker 1: out there that you like. Jeffrey Righty started recently started
6:47
Speaker 1: the Westwood series on HBO an amazing actor is all right.
6:52
Speaker 1: But the thing that when I look at you in Boardwalk,
6:55
Speaker 1: he was in Boardwalker as well. And so if you
6:57
Speaker 1: look when I look at your work, you know, like
6:59
Speaker 1: when I saw you, asked you furious and you you know,
7:02
Speaker 1: here's the thing. When Denzel did a Man on Fire
7:05
Speaker 1: and he was speaking spat, I went wow, And then
7:09
Speaker 1: I heard you speak in Spanish in fast and furious.
7:12
Speaker 1: That to me, it's another level to me, that's I
7:15
Speaker 1: mean that that means that you're you're willing to be yourself.
7:17
Speaker 1: You want to articulate and then be and and guess
7:21
Speaker 1: what didn't feel like a character. And I think that's
7:23
Speaker 1: important when you make those decisions in your role. And
7:26
Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know. You know we're gonna get
7:28
Speaker 1: into the boys, but I just want to let you
7:30
Speaker 1: know as a fan, as a producer, as a guy
7:32
Speaker 1: who's casting and see many talented people, and I also
7:36
Speaker 1: discovered some talented people. You. Every one of your roles
7:39
Speaker 1: feels different, man, every one of your role feels different.
7:44
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you that to see that. That to me,
7:47
Speaker 1: that's a compliment. You know when when you can look
7:50
Speaker 1: at two pieces of my work. You look at this
7:53
Speaker 1: Christmas and you look at Fast and Furious, and you
7:55
Speaker 1: don't see the same person. You know, that's my objective.
7:59
Speaker 1: Oh no, jump in the broom or stuff to y'all. Okay,
8:02
Speaker 1: all that that body of work man is you know,
8:05
Speaker 1: like you said that Despike Lee movie. I remember that movie.
8:08
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, you know, and there was
8:10
Speaker 1: a Wards War movie and so all that it's like,
8:13
Speaker 1: um allows me to believe that when when you're going
8:16
Speaker 1: forward the opportunity to get a role, they just see
8:19
Speaker 1: you as an actor. They don't see you. And now
8:22
Speaker 1: I like to believe that when I say that, because
8:24
Speaker 1: I've seen your body of work and I've been a
8:26
Speaker 1: fan of your body of work and even as shows
8:29
Speaker 1: you got to talk about to come up on Amazon Prime.
8:31
Speaker 1: We're gonna continue the next break, but I just want
8:33
Speaker 1: to let everybody know who you are because we were
8:36
Speaker 1: talking about the series The Boys or Amazon original series.
8:39
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break about thirty seconds and it it
8:41
Speaker 1: won't come right back on the next break, and when
8:43
Speaker 1: we're gonna finish it all that's all we're gonna talk about.
8:45
Speaker 1: It's The Boys. But I just had to tell everybody
8:47
Speaker 1: about my man last along asough. We gotta talk about
8:50
Speaker 1: two thousand two man, when I took you and Steve
8:52
Speaker 1: advice to okay, cool coming out. We're gonna do that.
8:55
Speaker 1: Okay cool, coming right back. Hi, just with Sean McDonald.
8:59
Speaker 1: You're listening to money making conversations, a show about it
9:02
Speaker 1: about entrepreneurship, entertainment on the show is a deer. Uh.
9:07
Speaker 1: I like to see you. I'm a mentor. He's a
9:09
Speaker 1: mentee because I like to look at him as a
9:11
Speaker 1: person that, uh, that I've seen over the years and
9:14
Speaker 1: I've been up I had. I feel played the role
9:16
Speaker 1: in his life because I try to be who I
9:18
Speaker 1: am and be consistent about who I am. He's starting
9:20
Speaker 1: a new Amazon original series called The Boys. The Serious
9:23
Speaker 1: premiers on July on Friday, July twenty six, and all
9:27
Speaker 1: episodes will be available and on Amazon Prime Video. You
9:30
Speaker 1: about before with the break, you about to say something
9:32
Speaker 1: about something that that Steve Harvey and I, uh play
9:35
Speaker 1: the role in focus. Yeah. I mean like nowadays, you know,
9:38
Speaker 1: I see a lot of uh. You know, we have
9:41
Speaker 1: Instagram and we have all these social media, so you
9:44
Speaker 1: actually see people on the daily basis, whereas back in
9:47
Speaker 1: the day, you wouldn't wouldn't see cats unless you ran
9:50
Speaker 1: into him at an audition, or you ran or you
9:52
Speaker 1: saw him on screen. And one thing that I've noticed
9:56
Speaker 1: is that patience is so low. I think we live
9:58
Speaker 1: in a society now where you can it everything immediately,
10:01
Speaker 1: go online, see somebody, you know, FaceTime, somebody you want
10:05
Speaker 1: to send some money, you can just transfer it. You
10:07
Speaker 1: know that people don't understand that to accomplish things, you
10:11
Speaker 1: gotta also be patient and believe. And I remember one
10:14
Speaker 1: morning man, when you and Steve were doing l A
10:18
Speaker 1: you know, the morning show here and y'all had you know,
10:20
Speaker 1: I mean, y'all they've always been doing everything, just take
10:23
Speaker 1: the platforms. At one time, I used to be a
10:26
Speaker 1: faithful listener, you know, to that morning show. Uh, And
10:30
Speaker 1: I remember one morning Steve said, the way to accomplish
10:34
Speaker 1: your those is to write them down and read them
10:36
Speaker 1: every morning and every night, right before you go to
10:39
Speaker 1: sleep and right when you wake up first thing in
10:41
Speaker 1: the morning, and to read them out loud and to
10:43
Speaker 1: really feel them, you know. And I incorporated that. You know,
10:46
Speaker 1: I saw what chard we're doing, and y'all are people
10:49
Speaker 1: that I looked up to, and so I started doing it.
10:52
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you, man, Uh, that became a
10:55
Speaker 1: a a way of life for me. You know, it
10:57
Speaker 1: became part of my lifestyle to where you know, I
11:00
Speaker 1: was getting so good at it. Man, three months down,
11:03
Speaker 1: I could knock off and everything off the listen and
11:05
Speaker 1: write a new list, you know. And so it just
11:09
Speaker 1: taught me patience. It taught me to really trust and
11:11
Speaker 1: lean on my face, and it taught me to you know,
11:14
Speaker 1: to be able to focus stay focused on my goals
11:17
Speaker 1: once I make them. So I want to thank you
11:19
Speaker 1: for that. Man. Well I'm gonna tell you something. I
11:21
Speaker 1: appreciate this the thanks, but more importantly, you know, because
11:24
Speaker 1: you know, when I when I hear you, because I
11:26
Speaker 1: know what you're saying means a lot to me. And
11:30
Speaker 1: and and you just believe in yourself. Last, that's all
11:35
Speaker 1: and all we were trying to tell and That's all
11:37
Speaker 1: I try to tell people to show is that just
11:39
Speaker 1: stop stop listening to people telling you what you can't do.
11:43
Speaker 1: Just some relatives out there there will put some blinders
11:46
Speaker 1: on you because they don't understand your dream. Because everybody understands,
11:50
Speaker 1: you know, a bank teller's job, or or a secretary's job,
11:54
Speaker 1: or maybe not even understand the executive jobs. That's why
11:57
Speaker 1: they tell you not to reach for those positions because
11:59
Speaker 1: they can't explain it to you. Know, I can't tell
12:01
Speaker 1: me my everyday job, nor can you. If somebody asks
12:04
Speaker 1: you what you do today, you go, wow. You you
12:07
Speaker 1: take a step back because you go, okay, I did that.
12:11
Speaker 1: But it doesn't even sound like much. But it consumes
12:13
Speaker 1: a lot of mental time, physical time planning because you know,
12:17
Speaker 1: for yourself, it's a job, but it's a job that
12:20
Speaker 1: cannot be explained. It's a job that's driven by faith. Because, brother,
12:24
Speaker 1: if you don't have it, then you're gonna slow down,
12:27
Speaker 1: because you need to be turned around praying to somebody
12:30
Speaker 1: that this opportunity has been given to you and also
12:32
Speaker 1: giving you the strength to be an accomplished the opportunity
12:35
Speaker 1: that's been given to you. And one of the opportunities
12:37
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Right now, brother, we're gonna say, well,
12:39
Speaker 1: with this new series called The Boys, Now, are you
12:42
Speaker 1: play the superhero in this series? Are you playing? Are
12:47
Speaker 1: you playing a superhero in this series? Ah? So here's
12:52
Speaker 1: the thing, man, It really defines on what It really
12:54
Speaker 1: depends on what you define super I mean superheroes good
13:01
Speaker 1: or are superheroes bad people? There you go, you know,
13:05
Speaker 1: having superpowers all of a sudden make you a hero
13:09
Speaker 1: or does it just mean that you're just a bad
13:11
Speaker 1: person with some superpowers? You know? Those are the That's
13:14
Speaker 1: where our show is different from a regular superhero show. Right,
13:18
Speaker 1: So the measure happy because this is pretty deep in
13:21
Speaker 1: what you just said here last okay, because you you
13:23
Speaker 1: step back on me. Hold up, now, what what do
13:26
Speaker 1: you mean a superhero? Because because you know I would
13:29
Speaker 1: black Panther, you know, no, no, noish, I would Avenge
13:33
Speaker 1: just na na no. So so I went and saw
13:37
Speaker 1: some of the trailers and it was talking about it
13:39
Speaker 1: like this just this company called VAT right, uh, and
13:43
Speaker 1: they have these superheroes, but they're not nice superheroes. Correct. Well,
13:49
Speaker 1: what what it talks about is its superheroes really are
13:52
Speaker 1: just people. Yes, they're just human beings that have a
13:55
Speaker 1: little different power than you. You know, your power might
13:59
Speaker 1: be the cool food on the able every night for
14:00
Speaker 1: your children. You know. Your power might be, you know,
14:03
Speaker 1: to donate some bone marrow to somebody that needs it.
14:06
Speaker 1: Or your power might be to donate some blood, you know,
14:08
Speaker 1: somebody who's dying and needs a blood transfusion. Or trust me,
14:11
Speaker 1: you've got more power than than Superman can if your
14:14
Speaker 1: blood saved their life or their mama's life, or the childlife.
14:17
Speaker 1: You know. So it really depends on how we define
14:19
Speaker 1: a hero in this particular world. And the Boys, the
14:22
Speaker 1: so called superheroes are just people that still has They
14:26
Speaker 1: have all these great superpowers where we consider superpowers, but
14:29
Speaker 1: they're still insecure. They're still they still have uh. They
14:35
Speaker 1: still jealousies, suffer from jealousy and envy. They still hate
14:38
Speaker 1: on each other. And so what we do as the
14:43
Speaker 1: Boys is we decide we're gonna pull the sheet down
14:48
Speaker 1: and we're gonna expose who these so called superheroes really are.
14:53
Speaker 1: And sometimes you don't need powers to be able to
14:56
Speaker 1: do that. Okay, okay, okay, but that's day though. If
15:00
Speaker 1: you don't have powers, trying to mess with people with powers? Correct, exactly, exactly.
15:05
Speaker 1: We are a team of vigilantes that are gonna defend uh,
15:11
Speaker 1: what's going on right now because we have these people
15:14
Speaker 1: with powers that are supposed to be the good guys,
15:17
Speaker 1: and we discover that they are also doing some pretty
15:20
Speaker 1: bad things. Now it says the powerless against the superpowerful.
15:24
Speaker 1: It's the Boss embark on the heroic quest to expose
15:27
Speaker 1: the truth about the Seventh and the company they work
15:30
Speaker 1: for called Vaughte, the multibillion dollar conglomerate that manages these
15:35
Speaker 1: superheroes and cover of all their dirty secrets. So how
15:39
Speaker 1: do you get involved? How do they recruit you into this? This?
15:43
Speaker 1: This I guess a vigilante team. Well, I'm gonna tell you, man. Like,
15:48
Speaker 1: after I finished my last series for NBC called Mysteries
15:52
Speaker 1: su Mysteries of Laura, I decided, okay, from from my
15:56
Speaker 1: next phase in my career, I want to work on
16:00
Speaker 1: stuff that really really speaks to something that's happening in society,
16:04
Speaker 1: something that really, you know, addresses something. And so the
16:09
Speaker 1: first project that I worked on after that series was
16:13
Speaker 1: a film by the name of Detroit that talked about
16:15
Speaker 1: the nighteties and the Detroit riot, you know, and that
16:18
Speaker 1: was that was during the time when Kaepernick was kneeling
16:21
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of police silence. You know,
16:23
Speaker 1: on a daily basis, we would get bombarred with somebody
16:25
Speaker 1: got shot, and I felt like that was the type
16:28
Speaker 1: of project that I wanted to work on at that time. Um.
16:31
Speaker 1: After that, I worked on the film with Dion Taylor,
16:35
Speaker 1: Robert Frederick Smith, the brother that donated you know, all
16:39
Speaker 1: that money to Moore House the graduates to get him
16:42
Speaker 1: out of that. Um. He was the executive producer, Rock
16:45
Speaker 1: Sanda Van executive producer. Then when we called Traffic and
16:48
Speaker 1: I was reunited with uh Paula Patton, worked with omar
16:51
Speaker 1: Ax Roslin Sanchez. And then when we talked about that's trafficking,
16:55
Speaker 1: which we don't talk about it in US. I mean,
16:59
Speaker 1: Atlanta is the number one city where sex trafficking happens
17:03
Speaker 1: in the United States of America, the first two. Sacramento
17:08
Speaker 1: is number two, you know. So this stuff is happening
17:11
Speaker 1: right under our noses, and it's people of color that
17:15
Speaker 1: are suffering the most, and nobody's talking about it. Um.
17:19
Speaker 1: And then this this show came around, and when I
17:22
Speaker 1: read the log line, I said, this is. This is
17:25
Speaker 1: in the same light of the type of projects that
17:28
Speaker 1: I want to be a part of, projects that means something,
17:31
Speaker 1: not just explosions for the sake of explosions. But you know,
17:34
Speaker 1: here we're talking about a society where people have unchecked power,
17:40
Speaker 1: and with unchecked power comes corruption and how does how
17:43
Speaker 1: do regular people stand up against and resist that corruption?
17:48
Speaker 1: And I think if you turn on the news every day,
17:50
Speaker 1: we see examples of that happening every single day. So
17:54
Speaker 1: I felt like this project was timely. I felt like
17:57
Speaker 1: it was on point. I felt like it was entertaining
17:59
Speaker 1: and crazy. And crazy thing is it's based on a
18:03
Speaker 1: comic book that was written back in the nineties, right right, right,
18:06
Speaker 1: right right. You know the things that the thing I
18:09
Speaker 1: love about your about your emotions and your passion. And
18:12
Speaker 1: this is that the reason the exciting about the series
18:14
Speaker 1: now because you're telling me that all these series was
18:17
Speaker 1: the super because these superpowers or X Men is just
18:20
Speaker 1: about racism. You know, the people who are different, they
18:22
Speaker 1: get treated different. That's all X Men is about. That's
18:24
Speaker 1: really all about super That's all this is about people.
18:28
Speaker 1: People can can can thro shade at you and these
18:31
Speaker 1: superheroes who are treated differently. That's why that's why the
18:34
Speaker 1: Avengers became such a because people became afraid of them.
18:38
Speaker 1: And that's why you know, Tony Stark and Captain America
18:41
Speaker 1: had issue. They want to control them by signing these
18:44
Speaker 1: people paper. You can't do anything just because you're different.
18:47
Speaker 1: And that's all you're saying about this series. This series
18:49
Speaker 1: just exposes people who are considered special but have the
18:53
Speaker 1: same issues as people who are not considered special. So
18:56
Speaker 1: the Visionlante group called the Bars are there to correct
18:59
Speaker 1: the wrong or a perceived success story that really isn't successful.
19:03
Speaker 1: That's powerful, man, that's powerful. Oh boy, it's gonna be fun, man.
19:11
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, you're still gonna
19:13
Speaker 1: get what you want out of the TV and your
19:19
Speaker 1: blood and your explosions and all that stuff. Supero trama.
19:23
Speaker 1: Hey man, this is this is awesome. This is awesome. Yeah,
19:28
Speaker 1: but you know we also covered some real stuff too.
