• 4:08
  Speaker 1: John Wick. You know, we can't be soft in this
• 4:10

  Speaker 1: you're a fan of the series, which I'm a fan
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of the series, and we're gonna talk about this, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I was like, I want to talk about you two.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Your career is amazing. But but because you know, when
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it's when I first are the Wire, you know, you've
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: worked with some amazing talent as you're working into and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you've been working with in this series because I was
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: had Franky Face one on the show about three weeks ago.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: He's great. Yeah, you know, and and again that's the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: type of talent that you work around. Of course, you
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: know interest Elbow off of the Wire, you work on
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: series man that people a lot of people continue to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: work and I mean you see him in movies. You
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: see like my Girl, she's in The Man in the Wasp.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: You know all this, So you you're you're your that
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that lets me know that your ability as an actor,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: it's always challenged and you always rise to the cage
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to the occasion. Correct. Well, I've been very fortunate and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and for me, the quality of the work has always
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: come first. So I mean I was really when I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: was in drama school, I was really pretty from from
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a time because I came to acting late in life.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I mean I acted in college for fun. But I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: didn't really start pursuing acting as a as a as
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a vocation to tell it was twenty seven years old.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So um, and it was something that kind of stumbled
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: into because originally I trained as a musician. So when
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I when I started acting, that really kind of um
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: attacked learning the craft with the kind of ferocity. Um
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: so um that has served me well since. And I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: feel like I really got um, I got my money's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: worthout a drama school. That really it was. It was
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a good investment. Well you know it's interesting. So you
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: know you got this this great voice. So I'm sure
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: your friends and your buddies, you know, I'm sure the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: originally that voice because you say using music, using musicians.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I know you were smooth talking Lance, I know that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Well I have a nice singing voice, but I mean
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I just never I mean I sing and I have
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a nice voice, but my major was composition. I grew
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: up um writing songs and then studying classical piano and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: classical classic composition. So I never I never really considered
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: myself a singer as much as a songwriter with a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: nice voice. And so so now now when you made
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that transition, now, did you feel that because I know
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: your music. Like I said, music it never leaves your soul,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: your spirit. But you're you're you're predominantly known as an actor,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: are you you're shaping music into your career. Well, it's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: funny because I uh, well, first of all, my training,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I found my training as a musician, um really informed
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: how I approached my work as an actor when I started,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: when I started to train the uh to learn how
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to act so um, even even learning how to practice
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: right the piano, you know what I mean, It informed
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: how I approached There was a there was a kind
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of an analytical and systematic way that I approached learning
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the lines um and a lot of that came out
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of my training as a musician. And a lot of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: people understand that you have toolute challenge the truth because
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I just a little background on me. I played tennis, saxophone,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: alto saxophone and claring that and I know that from
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a memory standpoint, when you used the word analytical. Now,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: my degree in colleges and mathematics, and it was all
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: derived from the fact that when you play music and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you start getting to these levels and these tones, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: because you're here note you're saying, you know that that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that note is and so and when you look at
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the history of music, when you go back to Mozark
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and Beethoven and all this, you go, it's all really
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a form of math and so and Dock was obsessed
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: with numbers. Wow, that's wow, that's really cool. Yeah. Times
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to be interview music, it's like, okay, this
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: is it. I ain't never I've never talked to nobody
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: like this before, because you know that thing that because
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I really I try to get interviews on the show
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: that I try to pull out those gems because I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: get a lot of people who interview my show up.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Nobody's ever asked me that question because actually, just just
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: just I've had a great life and I still have
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: living a great life lands and when I'm able to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: talk to you, when you start talking about music, I'm
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: right in line with you, because I always always recommend
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: young people to uh uh, not just listen to music,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: but participate in the music. Learn how to play an instrument, piano.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: It's something that will allow you to get into the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: thought process. Because once you get into music and you
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: can attest to this, it just takes you on a journey.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Am I correct? Absolutely? Are you essentially just speaking about
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: music specifically? I think to the point of kind of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: approaching uh are trying to approach life? Uh successfully I've
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: put that in quotes. Um. One of the things that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I've found, uh is that, um, you never know where
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: following your interests uh and your passing for learning will
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: take you. So um who I mean even though I started,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you know, as a musician, because the other thing is
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: interestingly enough, you know, I was I loved math, and
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I was actually the physics making my first year in
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: college before I transferred the music school. So so, um,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you just never know how, um, just following you know how,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: even even if you don't end up following what a
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: particular path you don't you end up going on a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: different path. What learning something from from from different disperate
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: paths will uh, well how they will serve you later.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And that's important for people to hear that about your
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: talents because like you said, you know, people get in
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: life they are afraid to make a change lands and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: afraid that Okay, this is I've been told, this is
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: this is where I should take by my journey. And
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you're you know, like you said physics man musician. Uh,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: then a twenty seven you got into acting, none of
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that was guaranteed. What what what? What was? What were
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: your support groups? Well, I have to tell you that
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I don't normally tend to talk like this, but in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: terms of kind of how and I hope this I'm
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: afraid this doesn't ne feily answer your question. But when
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I started acting, that was how I got from there
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to here. Um. I mean two years after I started acting,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I was at the year drama school and if the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: only place applied. It was one of those things where
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I that was the moment in my life where I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: felt that I was really divinely, like something was guiding me,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: like it was beyond because I was really kind of
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: down on my luck when I started acting. Um, I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: had I was at the time, my daughter was about
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a year old. I was worked in three jobs seven
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: days a week. Um. And I had a back Injery
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: that laid me up for a couple of weeks. Uh.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And when I started acting, we had actually moved in
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: two I was living in Boston at the time. We've
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: had to move in with another family because we couldn't
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: afford that and taking us in because we could afford
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the pay I read anymore. So uh so, you know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: just just the notion. You know, it wasn't a logical
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a logical choice. I mean, I'd acted in
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: college for fun and I knew it was good at it,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: but it was kind of like, how do I make
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: what I can do work for me? And I said, well,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I know I could sing it, I can act, let
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: me try to. I wented a couple of musical theater auditions.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: They went nowhere because I was up against like real singers,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: like musical theater people and gospel people. I'm like, I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: just got the gout with a nice voice. And then
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I started going on straight acting auditions, uh and local
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: not equally see it in Boston, and I just started
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: getting cast and getting CASTE told you to go. We've
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: back with more of a man, Lance and getting more
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: involved with the John Wick movie, plus the fact that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: he got several more movies come out here with the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Domestic with Kate Boswick, Canal Street, Monster Party, Little Woods,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: A Man is Hot, and I got him more money
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: making conversations. We'll be back more. We'll be back with more.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Lance Riddick on money making conversations. Hi, this ra Sean McDonald.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: You're listening to listening to money making conversations And Uh,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna call my good friend because see how I'm
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: talking to him like a friend, talking to me like
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a little brother. Because when you see somebody on TV
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and they're doing a body of work that's so diverse,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that there's a story behind that diversity, because you have
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to reach it a lot of different places to be
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: able to pull these characters and to Puforll. The reason
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I love to love him the most because the level
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: of professionalism that he exhibits for an African American character,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and that's so important and and and and our youth today,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: especially when you see how it's played out in the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: real world, how often times of Africa in American portrayed
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in a negative light. He's on my show today. He's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: back to talk about the trilogy which he's been a
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: part of all three of the John Wick series, which
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: is an exciting action adventure thriller. And this movie just
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: third version includes halle Berry. Now I'm laugh on now
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: because halle Berry is fighting this. I mean, she is
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: laying down. Have you been to the premiere yet of
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: this I've been to a screening of course, back to
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the New York premiere exactly this week. So the New
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: premiere is on Thursday, so I'm leaving on Wednesday, and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: then the l A premiere is uh a, Wednesday of
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: next week. Okay, cool, okay cool. So so in your screening,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: what surprised you the most about halle Berry? What's the President?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: When I watched the film, this thing is the President
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of the most about Halliebery. Hallieberry's work was how well
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: she moved right. I mean, I couldn't believe what I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: was saying. I mean, I would have she and maybe
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: she had a backround of martial arts. I don't know,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but I mean she was flipping gun food and with
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the best of them. I mean, there's a there's a
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: there's a moment. It's a bit of a spoiler, but
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I mean not really because it's it's it's in the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: in the midst of a huge fight scene with she
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: can to take on like fifty guys. But there's a
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: scene where and you and it's actually part of the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it's part of the trail, one of the trailers where
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: she's running and there's a guy on the other side
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: of of a of a wagon, you know, the kind
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: of the kind of wagons put an and you hook
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: up to a horse. And she as she runs what
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: happen listening to be she slides underneath of it the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: way somebody was slot on one leg sliding the first base,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: a slide of a slide of the base. And as
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: she actually goes underneath, she flips out of gun and
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: she she's two cats. I mean, I mean, it's bad,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it's exciting. Say, well, you're thinking about it. That's why
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you know you got to when you see caliberry done.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Hey man, the roads. I just saw Golden Circle, where
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: she played a nerdy scientist. And then of course, you
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: know Bond movies. You know, she's been a groundbreaker and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a groundbreaking and then so and so when I was
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: watching HBO, behind the scenes, they showed her, they showed
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: her doing her thing. You know, first of all, we're
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: not even going to go we're not even gonna talk
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: about candle reads. He's physically crazy. I don't know how
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: this dude does what he does. Uh, you know, he's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: actually participating in these fights, says I mean the flips,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's they said that he participates
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: in probably about nanny eight percent of the action scenes.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: When you when you get well of that stuffing it, yeah,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that's you know. That's one of the things that was
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: so innovative about this this franchise, the film series is
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the way that it's shocked. UM because kend because the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: director of Chet Dahulsky and UM and his partner man
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I can't think his name, who actually directed the first
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: uh some with him, Um is now directed huge movies
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: UM that like Deadpool, Tool Too and Um UM, but
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I can't I think you can't think it's uh David Um. Anyway,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: they're both. They both come from the book Heavy stunt Man,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and Chad is actually uh an advanced martial artist. I
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: mean he's uh, he's he's the kick boxing as a gymnast.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: He still teaches judo every day. And so the whole
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: concept for these movies was, um, to make it look
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: how do they make it look so real? Was the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: train Canada? Like they would train a stunt man right
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: so so that they could take really really Rather than
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: having a lot of quick cuts to try to give
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the impression that you're seeing the action, they do long
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: takes where you actually see all these long sequences where
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: he's doing all the flipping and all the you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and all these long one shots. And so that's one
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of the thing that's really that's really amazing and groundbreaking
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: about this. At least four American action films, I mean,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: they've been really uh um um turned up with this
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: stuff in Asia, particularly in in Korea for the left
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: ten years. The amazing thing about when I watched movies
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: like this because you're you're absolutely correct, like us, just
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: calming the rapper, calming the AI guy, the voice over king,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you know, executive shot on showtime, you know. And I've
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: been knowing him since uh I cast him on Sister
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Sister and the sitcom. You know, everyone everyone acting. I'm
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: telling lass, I go back, I got I got a
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: little history, bro. You might need to know men and so.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And the thing about this is that watching him, that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the physicality of those roles, and then watching behind the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: scenes with let me just be hip to everybody, what
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: exactly John Wick is. John Wicks is an action thriller
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and John Wicker is an assassin, Okay, and he's hired
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: through the secret the secret organization that the hotel is
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: where Lance's character is the concierge. And so everybody checking
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: in the hotel, they know they have a violent pass.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: But you know, you have this very dignified African American
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: man checking everybody in and their rules they're rude. He's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: actually he's actually African. I made I made anyone. Yeah
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and uh and he steps saying and then uh and
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and so what happens there he checks in. There are rules,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: you know, you can't do certain things in this hotel,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: not on this problem. There are no rules outside the problem. Okay,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Cameo breaks a rule. Okay, that's how the second one ends.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: He breaks a rule, and it sets the stage for
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the third movie, where basically he on the run for
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: his life every basically every stass the The way the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: last movie, the second movie ends is that he has
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: so one of the card the rules of the Continental,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: because the Continental is the hotel is it's basically a
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: five star hotel that caters to the to the most
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: of the assassins in the world, and one of the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: one of them, as you were saying, one of the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: cardon perhaps the most sacred rules the hotel is, no
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: business is to be conducted on continent ground. I mean
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you can't kill anybody on the grounds hotel, and so
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: at the yet at the end of the second movie,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Canny not only kill somebody, but he kills somebody like
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: who's Who's part of the High Table, part of the union,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: prancel of this international guilt of assassins. So he needs
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to ends with him on the run and he needs
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: for his life with a fourteen million dollar bounty on
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: his head. So every assassin in the world is after him.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: And the third movie starts where the second movie ends. Yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and see, the thing about it is that you don't
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: know who an assassin is. It could be a homeless guy,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: could be a lady pushed pregnant night, my pregnant lady.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's that's so true. You know what I'm saying.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: You don't know. Because so the second one the ends,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: when that, when that, when that bounty goes out, it
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: just he just hear all these pages and phones ringing,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and he's running, he's running him and that dog just running.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: First he started walking, he started walking, the pages go off,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: phone start, he starts running, and so it's really a
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: compelling movie. As you can see. I'm a fan of
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the series. Lance Well to your the first question you
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: asked me, I can't say I do step away from
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the desk, Yes, sir, don't, don't, don't don't do no
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: smaller alert on me. I'm good because I'm gonna let
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you know I'm a fan of That's why I'm happily promoting.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: This is a series that does extremely well and uh,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: international markets extremely well. It does good here, but it's
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a huge success internationally. And that movie goes out. There's action,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: but I like it because the fact that you know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: he was a guy, and this is the basis of
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: his character. He was pulled back into the assassin world.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He wanted to walk away, and they pulled them back in.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: And that's why they pulled back in the most violent
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: assassin of the most successful assassin in the history of
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: assassin of that field. And so so everybody knows that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows that, and so when you're coming at him,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: you're kind of coming at him, you know, with like, uh,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: should I do this? But you can't passing this fourteen
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: million dollars now? Well, I also think there's an ego
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: thing a ball because it's like that, it's kind of
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: uh like the old threw back to the old Westerns
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: where if you the factor is gonna West, can I
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: be the guy that got that beat him? Can I
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: think be the guy that beat the best? Right right?
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: And that's the great thing that I'm on the phone
• 21:29
