• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid of Crystal Fox. They are Okay, I'm not
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: giving away too much because it's a beautiful movie. You
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: stuck your foot in this movie. You stuck you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: like the old people say, get some food and if
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you stuck your foot in it. Acting directing in the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: beginning of the movie, I thought you were just gonna
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: be a cameo roll in there. But you played on
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: like a mentor in there. And I want to give
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: rid too much, but it felt like with a mentorship
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: type and you was get your job done, get your
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: job done type character. Because your character is a public defender,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: tell me about that. For a few minutes. I feel
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: like when I was reading the script, it was just
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: all there on the page. And Jasmine being a public defender,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: she wanted to give her all, but she was defeated already.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Um and of course Rory being the best he is
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: making easy gette and so she had to find that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in a strength in herself. And so it was a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: joy to play. Absolutely. The thing I want to say
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: about Joe character because of the fact that you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I've seen you on have and have not, and this
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: this was a contension. And Charlie was really interesting because
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: he pushed some of these characters in areas I didn't expect,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So tell me about that that level of expectation that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: he pushed you too in your role. Now see, that's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the beauty of it. Tyler gave me the script and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: he lets me go for and if he's trying to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: see or always allows for me to bring what I
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: believe is in that character. That's what's so awesome about
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: when he offers you something. You know he sees that,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: so you come in and you just delve in and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: if he believes it, he just lets you. Say a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Fall from Grace, Miss Sarah played by Miss I gotta
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: say ms for that character. That was I know who
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you are. Television World has laid it out to you
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: can't go too far with this character. But talk about
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: preparation for that character. Talk about the lens that you
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: went to extend what he wanted from that character for
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: this particular movie. Fall from Grace, Yes, she Well, what
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: was important for this character was to be true in
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: every moment, every single moment, whatever that moment was was real.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: She was real in every moment, but you were misleading
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it at times as far as the relationship. That's that's
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: beside the point. Come over, now you were in the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: case save too much because in the beginning of your character,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: your character plays as this person. You know, everybody felt
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that you can I say this like a joke. Yeah,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you being a lawyer was a joke, and and then
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: nobody respected you. So that that means that gave you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: an arc in the movie. And how did that feel
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: for you? I mean, well, being looked at usually as
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a comedic actress, you don't really get to play and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I love that. You don't usually get to play a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: multilayer character in that way that you can show the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: various sides of a woman and how she is trying
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to balance her her personal life and her work life
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and being defeated when she comes home from work. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that said, everything was on the page, and Tyler just
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: gave us free will to go in and really developed
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: these characters in an honest way. But no character. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: know they're saying you given them free will. They gave
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you. You You gave a free will to developed the characters.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: But you had you know what you wrote and let
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you comedic. You know, first Lady TV, you know, haven't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: having that? Did all these characters that I've seen shifted
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in disrections from their career that they led up to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that point. But you casting these rules, why no? I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: just first of all, Crystal had not had a shot
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to be a leading role or leading in a leading role,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a leading lady, and I thought, it's high time. Forty
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: years in the business, and I was so excited to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: do that for her graduates. Cast bricha against type not
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: commonly cast or in the dramatically and acrimony. She did
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a couple of small roles that were amazing, and then
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I add sincely Tyson and Miss Felicia's shot to round
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: out this level of talent. It was just it was
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: incredible for you. Well, i'moulna tell you something. I laughed.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I was mad. People next to me hitting me. When
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you go to the Black movie when they started getting yeah,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it's a good time, people still up in the end.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: That's really you know, you know, if you have a fan,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you know and now your Netflix tell us about that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: journey for your brain. Well, I filmed this movie. It
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't originally with Netflix. I just filmed it and I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: was gonna just shop it and see where it was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: gonna land. But they came right away. And they yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: They're like, come on, we got we gotta have it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And i gotta tell you, it's been the most diverse
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: group of people I've ever worked with this so anything
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I've done in Hollywood. So I'm really excited about working
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: up you know, I know now, you know they take
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: some of these movies to theaters and they put them
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: back on and I'm just tell you something, some nominations
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to do for some of these characters in this movie.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I was very impressed with the whole process and watching
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you build out this whole concept of allowing you to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: make looking at your character Grace looking joke your character Jasmine,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: your character Miss Sarah, and Bled and I was confused.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm a writer, probably writing television over time,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and when you can take a guy like me and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going kind of frustrated in a good way because
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the script is going, but when
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: it goes in their lands and lands in such a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: powerful direction as a testament not only to you as
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a director and the writer, but the characters you allowed
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: put on three. But I'd be remissed because he's not here. Yes,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Mr Brooks, Mr we have to talk about him. Yeah,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he was. He hasn't mccauth Brooks as a human being, Yes,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: has an energy about him that is just what can
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I say? It's quiet and still and it's solid. It's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: she's just like that a man. Yes, he did for
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that reason alone, that the presence of who he is,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and then with his nuances and the way he can
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: pay the pictures and actors, and the reason there's another
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: role again from Supergirl to being portraying this character because
• 8:09
