2:54

2:57
Speaker 1: of how great you guys resumes look. And I just
3:00
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys. Allow me to pull some nuggets out

3:05
Speaker 1: special you two are and and and also how special
3:08
Speaker 1: this movie, The Five Bloods is really about. But before
3:12
Speaker 1: I just want to act a question right quick for
3:14
Speaker 1: each one of you. Peters, How did you get started
3:16
Speaker 1: acting and what was your first major project? Can you
3:19
Speaker 1: ask that question from me? Yes, I got started following
3:24
Speaker 1: my my older brother first of all, as as children,
3:27
Speaker 1: we always wanted to perform together. He went to Paris
3:29
Speaker 1: u in around nineteen sixty eight or sixty nine somewhere
3:33
Speaker 1: on a sabbatical from school, and I went over to
3:36
Speaker 1: visit him while he was performing in the musical hair
3:40
Speaker 1: I um um. And short story is that he didn't
3:44
Speaker 1: show up one night and I went on on his
3:46
Speaker 1: place and that was my first That was my first
3:49
Speaker 1: gig there for your older brother. Okay, you know well,
3:54
Speaker 1: and he didn't and he didn't bother to come back,
3:56
Speaker 1: so I think it. Okay, I got I got the family, Cleverard.
3:59
Speaker 1: You know, I'm make of the families at least going
4:01
Speaker 1: to be represented. You know. I love that. Isaiah, how
4:04
Speaker 1: you do? Man? Hockey asked, how did you started acting
4:07
Speaker 1: and what was your first major project? You know? I um,
4:12
Speaker 1: I got started acting. I got into college on a
4:16
Speaker 1: athletic scholarship and uh, one day Brenda Mind said they
4:20
Speaker 1: were going to us to audition for a play. And
4:23
Speaker 1: if I wanted to come along, and I did. They
4:26
Speaker 1: had me get up and read. I got the part.
4:30
Speaker 1: She didn't. She never spoke to me again. Okay, so
4:39
Speaker 1: you know so, But the way I like to look
4:43
Speaker 1: at it, No, it doesn't matter how you got there,
4:45
Speaker 1: as long as you did. You know, it's been it's
4:47
Speaker 1: been quite a career. Well this is beautiful. You know,
4:49
Speaker 1: he ran his brother out of the country and you
4:51
Speaker 1: just stopped talking to somebody. I love that. That's that's how.
4:55
Speaker 1: That's how I'm talking to my man. Clark Peters and
4:58
Speaker 1: Isaiah went like Junior did. Two stars of the movie
5:01
Speaker 1: The Five Bloods, which will be premiered on Netflix on
5:04
Speaker 1: June twelve. Now, The Five Bloods moved by five guys
5:07
Speaker 1: who served time together in Vietnam. But there's also a
5:10
Speaker 1: movie by black history. If you guys can expound, because
5:13
Speaker 1: that's really Spike Leeman. He's something else. Now, you know,
5:16
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying the movie and he just dropping these nuggets
5:18
Speaker 1: and I was. I was sitting to my wife, I go,
5:20
Speaker 1: you know, he telling us about black history. You know,
5:22
Speaker 1: she said, that's black history right there, that's black history
5:25
Speaker 1: right there. And so that was beautiful. How you laid
5:29
Speaker 1: that in there. Comment on that both of y'all, I'd
5:31
Speaker 1: like to hear from both sides of it. Go ahead,
5:35
Speaker 1: le well, you know, I don't think you can do
5:39
Speaker 1: one with this movie. I don't think you could do
5:41
Speaker 1: one without the other, because I think by dropping, you know,
5:45
Speaker 1: those nuggets of black history into the film, you began
5:48
Speaker 1: to understand the dynamics of what these brothers were going through,
5:52
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, what they were feeling. So you
5:56
Speaker 1: had to do. To me, it always seemed like you
5:58
Speaker 1: had to do votes together to be able to get
6:01
Speaker 1: the impact. If you just did one, you didn't quite
6:04
Speaker 1: get it. But when you sort of backed it up
6:07
Speaker 1: with that Black history lesson, you began to see and
6:11
Speaker 1: understand and feel the dynamics of the film. Also, I
6:18
Speaker 1: think what you're getting is not only the the the
6:21
Speaker 1: context of in which these men were serving, but you're
6:25
Speaker 1: also getting their point of view on the existence of
6:31
Speaker 1: African Americans in the States and the and the breadth
6:35
Speaker 1: of experiences that we have politically and spiritually, so forth
6:39
Speaker 1: and so on. And yet as diverse as these brothers were,
6:44
Speaker 1: you know, they had all gone in separate ways once
6:48
Speaker 1: they once they left and had a merit of experiences,
6:51
Speaker 1: yet they still maintain the love for each other, which
6:55
Speaker 1: appears to be somewhere missing today. You know, that type
7:00
Speaker 1: that that type of brotherhood, and even that is commented
7:03
Speaker 1: on on in the in the in the piece, and
7:06
Speaker 1: Spike has a way of doing that. You know, I'm
7:08
Speaker 1: glad that he I'm glad he's the megaphone you know,
7:11
Speaker 1: for uh, you know, for for for us. You know,
7:14
Speaker 1: there should be more, but you know, we understand the
7:16
Speaker 1: context within which he exists, you know, in that world,
7:20
Speaker 1: and just so many are gonna get out there to
7:22
Speaker 1: reach just so many, you know. But I'm glad, I'm
7:26
Speaker 1: glad that we were certainly a part of part of this.
7:28
Speaker 1: You know that that's our craft, is foot that's how
7:31
Speaker 1: our craft should be used, you know, for sure. You know,
7:34
Speaker 1: the beauty of this movie was, first of all, it
7:36
Speaker 1: was let's let's break down the character to Five Bloods
7:39
Speaker 1: consisted of Storm and Norman. That was played by the
7:42
Speaker 1: Black Panther he always been known as the Black Panther,
7:44
Speaker 1: Chadwick Boseman and then my brother Paul as I was
7:47
Speaker 1: playing his character is played by Darre Orlando and Eddie
7:51
Speaker 1: that was Norm Lewis Otis that was you Pluck Peters
7:55
Speaker 1: and then may Alvin use Isaiah or that was Malvine
7:57
Speaker 1: was played by Isaiah Withlock Jr. Also on the journey
8:00
Speaker 1: was Paul's son who just David, played by Jonathan Major's. Now,
8:05
Speaker 1: you guys, first of all, the music was outstanding. That
8:08
Speaker 1: music should have been just a tribute to Marvin Gaye
8:10
Speaker 1: because uh it yes, yes, you know his brilliance. Uh
8:16
Speaker 1: it was timeless because I guess what, it's one of
8:19
Speaker 1: the all time great albums at the time and just
8:21
Speaker 1: a generational talent because that music is can be played
8:26
Speaker 1: right now and be very relevant. Now when you guys
8:29
Speaker 1: got the script, okay, because it was it set in
8:32
Speaker 1: Vietnam and you guys shooting locally, what did you shoot
8:35
Speaker 1: at the movie at both Vietnam and Thailand? Uh? Pretty

11:16
Speaker 1: strong moral values and things like that. I mean, I'm

12:19
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta drink. Before I even checked in.
12:22
Speaker 1: I came there to do I can't. And you know
12:30
Speaker 1: the thing is, I had to explain to someone the
12:33
Speaker 1: other day about the Dad because they had seen the movie,
12:38
Speaker 1: and they said, well, you know, I like the way
12:40
Speaker 1: Spike uh he added some modern touches and I said,
12:44
Speaker 1: what do you mean. They said, well, the handshakes and
12:46
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and I said, no, no, no, that's
12:50
Speaker 1: that's all of that started during the Vietnam War. That's
12:55
Speaker 1: not you know, uh, that's not a basketball thing. I
12:58
Speaker 1: loved to see it, you know, And I said, you know,
13:02
Speaker 1: all of that came out of that, but it was
13:05
Speaker 1: there was there was there was, there was a bond
13:07
Speaker 1: there and it showed like what part of Vietnam you
13:11
Speaker 1: had served it from things like that, so you really
13:15
Speaker 1: had to kind of embrace it and um and that's
13:18
Speaker 1: what my character did and it really did and it
13:21
Speaker 1: was great, all right there, Clark, I apologize that was
13:27
Speaker 1: supposed to have It is an acronym for something. I
13:30
Speaker 1: can't quite remember what it. What it was for d
13:32
Speaker 1: A P. What was that? Can you remember, Isaiah? I
13:35
Speaker 1: can't remember. No, Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's um.
13:40
Speaker 1: It was an an acronym for something I can't I
13:42
Speaker 1: can't quite remember. But when we realized that it that
13:46
Speaker 1: it was more than just a greeting. It took on
13:48
Speaker 1: a whole another thing. I think for all of us.
13:51
Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, because not not everyone, not
13:56
Speaker 1: everyone had the same the same depth, you know, so
14:00
Speaker 1: you knew that if you gave a certain depth, that
14:03
Speaker 1: you were from a certain unit in a certain time,
14:05
Speaker 1: and you know it was it was it was our drum.
14:11
Speaker 1: It was it was our drum. You know, they can

16:11
Speaker 1: T E R dot ai. What what? What I also
16:15
Speaker 1: realized was that even if we were doing it, we
16:19
Speaker 1: all had our we all had our favorite death right.
16:23
Speaker 1: There were some who were better than others in certain
16:27
Speaker 1: areas of the death, and we all had our favorite depth.
16:30
Speaker 1: So you have to learn all of them because you
16:32
Speaker 1: never knew what you were going to get hit with.
16:34
Speaker 1: You know. That's that's that that part of the dapping program.
16:39
Speaker 1: I would have been left off. I've been left off
16:41
Speaker 1: the dapping And I was born in that era. I
16:45
Speaker 1: was boring in the era the bump, all that good
16:47
Speaker 1: stuffing chicken. I had it all down, pat. The great
16:51
Speaker 1: thing about your character, Peters was that you are medic
16:55
Speaker 1: and so and I'd say that's great because you know,
16:57
Speaker 1: we've seen you know, that shows that there was educated
17:00
Speaker 1: black men participating other than just shooting a gun, you
17:03
Speaker 1: were saving lives. I think that was a calculated character
17:06
Speaker 1: development for Spike in this movie. Correct, yes, uh. And
17:11
Speaker 1: and also with with his history, you know, and with
17:13
Speaker 1: these particular brothers with these five bloods. You know, he
17:17
Speaker 1: had seen parts of their bodies and inside that they
17:19
Speaker 1: had never seen before. You know, you know he is
17:23
Speaker 1: he taking bullets out of them, showed them up, you know. Uh,
17:27
Speaker 1: he kept their morale together in the in the field
17:31
Speaker 1: and as we see also later on when when we
17:34
Speaker 1: when we had the reunion. You know, I love his humanity.
17:39
Speaker 1: I love that that that we are allowed to express
17:42
Speaker 1: our humanity like this because he's not a fictitious character.
17:47
Speaker 1: You know, there were brothers like this absolutely, and there
17:51
Speaker 1: are brothers like this and women who are like this today.
17:56
Speaker 1: So you know, it was it was an honor to
17:58
Speaker 1: celebrate to where that that that that persona you know,
18:02
Speaker 1: for myself, I find it easy because I love these brothers,
18:05
Speaker 1: you know, I love them off off off the camera,
18:08
Speaker 1: you know, Isaia and I go go way back, you know,
18:13
Speaker 1: So it's easy. It's easy to have this camaraderie and
18:16
Speaker 1: have this fun, you know, and to look after them.
18:19
Speaker 1: And oddly enough, you feel like you're you know, it's
18:22
Speaker 1: sometimes you're not supposed to carry your your your work home,
18:25
Speaker 1: you know, but I didn't mind carrying Otis back back
18:28
Speaker 1: to the hotel with me. You know, most night, you know,
18:31
Speaker 1: and still hanging on out with with the brothers and
18:33
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on them. You know, we were we
18:35
Speaker 1: were in a situation over there in Thailand last year
18:39
Speaker 1: where we were wearing masks, you know, because because the
18:42
Speaker 1: weather was so bad, and I found myself making sure
18:47
Speaker 1: that you know, we all right, you know, and you
18:51
Speaker 1: know that's awesome thing. We also needed one another, you know,
18:56
Speaker 1: I mean, there's such a you know, we knew we
19:00
Speaker 1: were in for. The days were hard, the days were long,
19:03
Speaker 1: the days were hot, and we just desperately needed one another.
19:07
Speaker 1: We needed to pick each other up and make sure
19:10
Speaker 1: that each other were okay. Yeah, I think it was hot.
19:13
Speaker 1: I know it got hot when I was out there
19:14
Speaker 1: looking for the goal. Not that it got hot there. Brother.
19:17
Speaker 1: I knew it was because because I said, you looked
19:19
Speaker 1: like it was hot. You look like when you said, look, man,
19:22
Speaker 1: I'm looking for the goal. I ain't picking up nothing.
19:25
Speaker 1: I said, he ain't acting, now, honey, he's not acting.
19:29
Speaker 1: It was Remember I said, he's got acting before I'm
19:35
Speaker 1: talking to my man. Cluck Beaters and Isaiah with Lock
19:38
Speaker 1: of two stars of the movie The Five Bloods, premier
19:41
Speaker 1: on Netflix on June twelve. What you're about to say, Isaiah, No,
19:45
Speaker 1: but there was there was one shot in the movie
19:47
Speaker 1: where I looked at myself and I said, I said,
19:49
Speaker 1: and I really looked that damn bad. I mean, it
19:53
Speaker 1: just seemed like each other. Hey man, man, when you
19:59
Speaker 1: was out that looking for that, I said, when you
20:01
Speaker 1: was out there looking for paint and you don't had
20:03
Speaker 1: the little meter out there, little melo detector. You you
20:06
Speaker 1: were hot, brother, you were hot. You were looking for
20:08
Speaker 1: some cold water, some ice water, some a when they're
20:12
Speaker 1: gonna call cut something here because this is some real
20:16
Speaker 1: heat out here, trailers what I was looking for. It's
20:28
Speaker 1: two other dynamic characters that Paul. I just gotta said
20:31
Speaker 1: by Darryl or Lindo what he did in this movie
20:33
Speaker 1: as the character Paul. I'm gonna tell you some all
20:38
Speaker 1: you guys get fantastic jobs, amazing job. He has some monologues. Man,
20:43
Speaker 1: if we don't see him in some nominations in the fall,
20:46
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be really really hurt because you know it
20:50
Speaker 1: out there, man, he laid it out to make sure.
20:53
Speaker 1: Make sure you expressed that hurt there too. Russian, because
20:56
Speaker 1: you know there's there's uh that one scene where he
21:00
Speaker 1: bocks off, you know, and he right, you know what
21:03
Speaker 1: I'm talking about that on that particular day, you know,
21:08
Speaker 1: it was it was a pretty intense day. You remember
21:10
Speaker 1: this Isaiah. He walked off and it was like God
21:15
Speaker 1: was with him, Nature was with him, because a storm
21:18
Speaker 1: came up from nowhere, a storm came up from nowhere,
21:24
Speaker 1: and my man was just riding the energy of that storm.
21:28
Speaker 1: And you couldn't help but to feel You couldn't help
21:32
Speaker 1: but to feel the emotion and wherever he was going
21:36
Speaker 1: in his spirit, to find that the earth and God
21:40
Speaker 1: was with him. And we hope that that comes on
21:42
Speaker 1: through all it does it does. First of all, it's
21:46
Speaker 1: a hurt soul or all, you guys, his character was
21:49
Speaker 1: the hurt character. That the character he was still carrying
21:53
Speaker 1: Vietnam window. Later on we find out why, but he
21:56
Speaker 1: still was carrying PTSD. Was all in his spirit. He
21:59
Speaker 1: never was able to walk away or have a life
22:02
Speaker 1: or have a life with his son who and his
22:05
Speaker 1: son I want to get more detail, but that the
22:07
Speaker 1: whole breakdown was amazing and told a different story besides
22:12
Speaker 1: the five bloods in that relationship as it as it
22:14
Speaker 1: grew out. But it was interesting I was reading the
22:16
Speaker 1: article about that uh that Spike Lee says. He said,
22:20
Speaker 1: there was no c G I budget to make you
22:21
Speaker 1: make my man look younger doing the flashbacks. Okay, that's
22:24
Speaker 1: what Spike said. And I'm gonna tell you guys something.
22:27
Speaker 1: You know, I always your people when you dream or
22:30
Speaker 1: you think back. You never see yourself when you dream,
22:34
Speaker 1: and you think that you only see what you see, Okay,
22:38
Speaker 1: And so so when you guys were having those flashbacks,
22:41
Speaker 1: I always saw it from you guys perspective. He was
22:44
Speaker 1: supposed to be younger. Okay, he was, because it would
22:48
Speaker 1: be told from your perspectives. And if first of all
22:51
Speaker 1: such brilliant acting, it didn't matter. So I was. I
22:54
Speaker 1: always stayed in the moment during the flashbacks because you
22:58
Speaker 1: guys were going bad act to where you were thinking
23:01
Speaker 1: about when you're younger. Hey, whenever I think about somebody,
23:04
Speaker 1: but I hope to God I don't think of somebody.
23:07
Speaker 1: Look at my age now in the seventies. When I'm
23:09
Speaker 1: thinking about how that person looked into seventies, that person
23:11
Speaker 1: looks like that person in the seventies, and I am
23:14
Speaker 1: who I am today. It was brilliantly, I know, he said, that,
23:17
Speaker 1: but as you want to tell you, guys, it worried.
23:20
Speaker 1: You know the thing is that when you start tinkering,
23:25
Speaker 1: tinkering around with the c g I, you know, then
23:28
Speaker 1: the audience, the audience watching it, they're they're they're they're
23:33
Speaker 1: no longer paying attention to the story. They're paying attention
23:37
Speaker 1: to you trying to look younger. And by by us
23:42
Speaker 1: just being ourselves standing in the moment, date in the story,
23:46
Speaker 1: date in the moment, dated the story, you didn't have
23:48
Speaker 1: you were you were not distracted. It's what I'm trying
23:51
Speaker 1: to say absolutely that I always tell people black and
23:53
Speaker 1: white movies, you had to act in black and white movies.
23:56
Speaker 1: You had to be able to act when they started
23:59
Speaker 1: adding that color and all that stuff. The background, the
24:01
Speaker 1: sun sae sunset was yellow. You know, they could have
24:04
Speaker 1: some bad acting. When you, guys went from from the
24:08
Speaker 1: younger character and then you went back to the Vietnam
24:11
Speaker 1: I felt it was real. I felt the emotion, I
24:13
Speaker 1: felt the pain, I felt the journey. Just a fantastic jaw,
24:17
Speaker 1: A great movie. The Five Blood premiers June twelfth on Netflix.
24:21
Speaker 1: But before I go, I'll be I'll be remissed because
24:24
Speaker 1: we know the times that we're both all three of
24:26
Speaker 1: us African American men, and we'll be remissed to talk
24:29
Speaker 1: about how this pandemic or COVID ninteen is affecting our community.
24:34
Speaker 1: Uh in April when when the CDC came out, it's
24:39
Speaker 1: of the affective patients in Atlanta, or African Americans in
24:43
Speaker 1: New Orleans, the state of Louisiana, seven out of ten
24:47
Speaker 1: in Chicago, for in Detroit. We are a race of
24:53
Speaker 1: people who are overly affected by this in a country
24:57
Speaker 1: that's not understanding how they can take care of themselves.
25:00
Speaker 1: Don't take care of us. Any comments on the Russians?
25:04
Speaker 1: Can I can I put cannec with this to here?
25:05
Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't in the States when it when
25:08
Speaker 1: when the when that those figures came out, and and
25:12
Speaker 1: I don't want it, and I repeat this. I do
25:15
Speaker 1: not want to minimize the pandemic or the importance of
25:20
Speaker 1: any virus that's in the air that is affecting human beings.
25:24
Speaker 1: I'm not minimizing that at all. But what you guys
25:28
Speaker 1: were getting over there as one bit of information, we
25:31
Speaker 1: were getting the complete opposite over here. What we got
25:35
Speaker 1: over here was that it was not something that was
25:38
Speaker 1: affecting people of color. What we got over here was
25:42
Speaker 1: that it was going after the after the elderly first
25:47
Speaker 1: and those who were whose immune systems were compromised. It
25:51
Speaker 1: was not And if anything, the young blood's over here
25:55
Speaker 1: were saying, well, it doesn't bother people of Afro Caribbean descent.
26:00
Speaker 1: That's what was going on here. Now we've been around
26:04
Speaker 1: long enough. We've been around long enough to know how
26:09
Speaker 1: how a machine will will effect or use people of color,
26:16
Speaker 1: people of a lesser uh circumstance, for its own means.
26:22
Speaker 1: You know, Now we have not only the pandemic, but
26:27
Speaker 1: we also have this five G thing that's going up
26:31
Speaker 1: as well, running alongside right. Well, I see that and that,
26:38
Speaker 1: and that is exactly my point. We don't know. We
26:41
Speaker 1: don't know, because you get something over here, you get
26:44
Speaker 1: something over there. But what I do know is this
26:48
Speaker 1: is that Tuskegee was an experiment. You know. What I
26:56
Speaker 1: do know is that when the pilgrims came on over
26:58
Speaker 1: to the New Land and and they wanted some they
27:01
Speaker 1: want some land, they gave the indigenous people some blankets.
27:09
Speaker 1: You know, I do know that according to history, you know,
27:14
Speaker 1: that first pandemic, that came through in nineteen in the
27:17
Speaker 1: early nineteen hundreds was on the back of the introduction
27:21
Speaker 1: of X rays into the world. So I'm and like
27:26
Speaker 1: I said, I'm saying, there's not to minimize the the
27:31
Speaker 1: but I think that one needs to really be uh,
27:36
Speaker 1: to think through and use your mind and do not
27:39
Speaker 1: give up the responsibility of your health to somebody else.
27:45
Speaker 1: Thank you, Do not give it up to somebody else.
27:50
Speaker 1: You know, God gave you that body and that mind
27:53
Speaker 1: for you to work within that temple and for you
27:56
Speaker 1: to keep that clean, for you to look after that.
28:00
Speaker 1: But you know what I think about I'm sorry. I'm sorry, no,
28:04
Speaker 1: but not don't mean to cut you off, Clark. No. Yeah,
28:09
Speaker 1: I was pretty much done because like I'm moving to
28:11
Speaker 1: the edge of my seat now and I was standing
28:13
Speaker 1: up and I love it. I love it. Thank you,
28:17
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. People wanted to say. What I
28:20
Speaker 1: wanted to say was that I think this pandemic has
28:24
Speaker 1: really raised the veil on a deeper problem that has
28:28
Speaker 1: been that you know, it's just like you're looking up
28:31
Speaker 1: underneath the hood and you're seeing, you know what the
28:34
Speaker 1: real problem is, UH, and starting to ask a lot
28:37
Speaker 1: of questions, why why is it this way? Why do
28:41
Speaker 1: is there so much diabetes? High blood pressure? Why? Uh? Yeah,
28:47
Speaker 1: wire why why why are we in this type of situation?
28:51
Speaker 1: And the more you dig, the more you begin to
28:54
Speaker 1: realize that this is not This has been going on
28:57
Speaker 1: for years. Yes, I mean when I say years, I'm
29:01
Speaker 1: talking centuries. Yes, that's right, and uh, that's right. And
29:06
Speaker 1: going forward it needs to be fixed. All of this
29:09
Speaker 1: stuff about the heroes and essential people and everything like that. Uh,
29:14
Speaker 1: when this pandemic is over, if it's ever over, I
29:18
Speaker 1: want to see. I want to see what we do
29:21
Speaker 1: going forward. You want to see if those if those
29:23
Speaker 1: essential people are taking care of, if those heroes are
29:27
Speaker 1: taking care of, if if if things are are are
29:32
Speaker 1: are fixed, if we need go back to doing what
29:35
Speaker 1: we were doing. That's that's gonna be really sad. That's
29:38
Speaker 1: gonna be very very sex Yes, you know, and and
29:40
Speaker 1: and you know what we do is all we have
29:43
Speaker 1: to do is look at the way that our veterans
29:46
Speaker 1: are being taken care of. You look at the way
29:50
Speaker 1: our veterans have been taken care of, you know, you know,
29:55
