1:32
Speaker 1: thing that stare that in two thousand and six, all
1:35
Speaker 1: those beautiful credits I've read about it got names associated.
1:38
Speaker 1: You did an episode of Entourage and it listened to
1:41
Speaker 1: you as a young thug number one. That's that's that's
1:45
Speaker 1: a credit. That's a credit. But that was two thousand six.
1:50
Speaker 1: Let's talk about when did it started turning after two
1:54
Speaker 1: thousand and six. You know what, I came home as
1:58
Speaker 1: I did Entourage and it was pretty good. It was
2:00
Speaker 1: alright at a good time. I'd like to show a lot,
2:03
Speaker 1: but I said, I don't want to play thugs anymore.
2:05
Speaker 1: I want to play something my kids canna be very
2:07
Speaker 1: proud of me, of right, sir. So Um, there there
2:10
Speaker 1: have been times in my career where I stepped back
2:13
Speaker 1: when I was like, you know what, let me figure
2:17
Speaker 1: out exactly what the next phase of my career is
2:20
Speaker 1: gonna be. If it takes time for me to do
2:23
Speaker 1: whatever I need to do, um it takes six months
2:26
Speaker 1: or a year, uh, then I will do it. And
2:30
Speaker 1: just so I can be seen in a different light.
2:33
Speaker 1: I didn't after that. I said, I don't want to
2:36
Speaker 1: just play these nameless people or and it was a
2:39
Speaker 1: pretty good role, you know, it was just it just
2:41
Speaker 1: sucked that it was called that. You know what I'm saying, dude,
2:45
Speaker 1: you don't know if this guy the young thug or whatever,
2:47
Speaker 1: if he goes home to a wife and kids or
2:50
Speaker 1: anything like that. But you know, about that time was
2:54
Speaker 1: the time I just stepped back and I think I'm
2:56
Speaker 1: gonna changed agencies and managements because I said I had
2:59
Speaker 1: a bit it for myself that with much mrch much
3:02
Speaker 1: further than just you know, playing big parts, right, I
3:07
Speaker 1: got with an amazing manager. I got what I'm managing
3:09
Speaker 1: wing with right now, frankn Zalez, who saw the fishing
3:12
Speaker 1: right and he's you know omaro. I see what you're
3:15
Speaker 1: trying to do, and you know, allow me to guide
3:17
Speaker 1: you and take you to the next level. And you
3:20
Speaker 1: know ever since then that we're gonn rocking and rolling. Yeah,
3:23
Speaker 1: that's why, that's what I wanted to bring that moment up, because,
3:26
Speaker 1: like I said, there are many moments we have in
3:28
Speaker 1: your life and so but also you have to make
3:31
Speaker 1: a decision because people will see you and keep pushing
3:35
Speaker 1: you down in lane where they think you should be
3:37
Speaker 1: at well they think you should go, and then you
3:40
Speaker 1: have to realize that there's an unknown when you push
3:43
Speaker 1: back that's not me. I don't you know the is
3:46
Speaker 1: I'm working, but I don't want to work like that.
3:49
Speaker 1: What fear unknown? Did you? Did you have to introduce
3:52
Speaker 1: your peer group around you? What support group did you
3:55
Speaker 1: have or was it just you? Definitely my peer group.
4:00
Speaker 1: You know, I have like a lot of friends who
4:02
Speaker 1: are extremely successful. And even in two thousand and six, uh,
4:07
Speaker 1: the guys who I wrote with, uh, there they were
4:09
Speaker 1: getting it. They were getting it, and I was like,
4:11
Speaker 1: we all started out together, and then no reason why
4:15
Speaker 1: I should be lagging behind. And if we all started
4:18
Speaker 1: at the same time, and even though I don't measure
4:20
Speaker 1: my success by anybody else's. But I saw the opportunities
4:24
Speaker 1: that were out there, and I didn't wanna drop the
4:27
Speaker 1: ball and get into a rat race and just get
4:30
Speaker 1: into like what I'm always playing, the same thing, getting pigeonholed.
4:34
Speaker 1: Even now, as much as I do love playing Hollywood,
4:37
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go around and play something like Kenneth f
4:40
Speaker 1: Reed or I will go and play along and Harriet.
4:44
Speaker 1: I'll do something different that's so different than what I'm playing,
4:47
Speaker 1: because I don't want anybody to ever pigeonholed me into,
4:50
Speaker 1: uh you know what they think I should be doing.
4:53
Speaker 1: I'm an active comes from the theater man. I'm used

7:01
Speaker 1: inside of me not to laugh because Sam was so
7:04
Speaker 1: on the nose, never said anything like it. I was like, man,
7:08
Speaker 1: he is showing up this scenery. He's ball man. I
7:12
Speaker 1: was like, this is an actor lesson because he was
7:14
Speaker 1: in the moment, he was in the character. Yeah, that's
7:17
Speaker 1: he's my favorite actor of all time. That that that
7:20
Speaker 1: dude right there. He was more white than he was black,
7:23
Speaker 1: but he was more white. He was more of a
7:24
Speaker 1: white slader than the slave holders. And they were like,
7:27
Speaker 1: can you pull up, man, You don't treat them. You
7:31
Speaker 1: treat them like this, You treat them. He forgot who
7:34
Speaker 1: he was and that was that. I'm telling you, man,

7:41
Speaker 1: I wanted to laugh so hard because he was really
7:45
Speaker 1: into that character so deep. Yes, but it was so
7:47
Speaker 1: funny because it was so outrageous but and it was.
7:50
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, so it's a couple of characters like that,
7:53
Speaker 1: like I think Mr. And Color Purple is pretty attrocious, sup.
7:56

7:58
Speaker 1: know you had no re Yeah no, oh my oh
8:01

8:20
Speaker 1: Conversations Masterclass with Rashan McDonald. That's a beautiful part of you.
8:26
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'll reading the credits, you know, Selma
8:29
Speaker 1: Ray Donovan which I loved you and Ray Donovan and
8:31
Speaker 1: things like that, bones all those bodies of work that
8:34
Speaker 1: are available to African American talent. Now that we did,
8:38
Speaker 1: I just I could say, man, probably about eight years ago,
8:41
Speaker 1: all we had was reality shows with black people acting
8:44
Speaker 1: in them on scripted shows. When did you start noticing
8:48
Speaker 1: the opportunity was opening for better scripted series like you
8:52
Speaker 1: on right now in Queen's Sugar, which is helmed by
8:55
Speaker 1: Ava douven At, which is a you know, award winning
8:58
Speaker 1: in double A c P uh series, when you start
9:01
Speaker 1: seeing roles like they come your way, you went, wow,
9:05
Speaker 1: we started to turn the corner for African American talent.
9:08
Speaker 1: It was a year that It was a year that,
9:10
Speaker 1: uh that that that that Jesus Lord, it was a
9:13
Speaker 1: year that that that we came out. Ye Queen Sugar
9:16
Speaker 1: came out, because Queen Sugar came out. Atlanta came out
9:19
Speaker 1: the same year Nothing Insecure Mighty came out the year before.
9:22
Speaker 1: So I saw the turn, and then the next year
9:25
Speaker 1: the shot came out. I said, Okay, yeah, that's what
9:28
Speaker 1: we look like. This is exactly what we look like
9:31
Speaker 1: in my regular life. It's not everybody's not drug there
9:34
Speaker 1: was everybody's our basketball players. Everybody's not reality stars, you know, no, Like,
9:39
Speaker 1: these are regular people living regular lives. That's how ninety
9:44
Speaker 1: nine percent of people who are I know, not the
9:46
Speaker 1: people who are like zillionaires, but the people even the
9:49
Speaker 1: people who are famous actors or whatever. Man, we all
9:52
Speaker 1: live the same way that we live on the Shy
9:55
Speaker 1: on Queens Sugar, on Atlanta or Insecure. It's the same thing,
10:00
Speaker 1: and we finally get to receive the reflection. It was
10:02
Speaker 1: those two years, man, it was two thousand fifteen in
10:05
Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen, and I said, it wasn't the renaissance
10:09
Speaker 1: of black um television, because renaissance means rebirth. It was
10:12
Speaker 1: the birth black television. It's not just sitcoms. It's not
10:16
Speaker 1: just us being silly or just and trust me, by
10:19
Speaker 1: my favorite shows in the world, but the rest of
10:21
Speaker 1: my my whole life have been safer. The Sun and
10:23
Speaker 1: the Jeffersons. Absolutely, it's not all just sit comes. You know,
10:26
Speaker 1: I'm funny, but I ain't that funny. I'm gonna be
10:29
Speaker 1: able to be on nothing as good as like Red Fox,
10:32
Speaker 1: uh uh Seanan Helmsley, you know. But I know that
10:34
Speaker 1: I can act, and I know that I could bring
10:36
Speaker 1: what I can bring to uh, you know, to drama
10:39
Speaker 1: or even to to some drama. So it was those
10:42
Speaker 1: It's fifth two thousand, two thousand sixteen, and I saw
10:45
Speaker 1: the tire turn and I saw other shows coming up
10:48
Speaker 1: behind it. It was great shows, even like a show
10:50
Speaker 1: like This is Us, which is not particularly a black show.
10:53
Speaker 1: But when you have Sterling and you have Susan you know,
10:55
Speaker 1: who leaves of the show, then there you go, boom
10:58
Speaker 1: this you see a black family week, you know. So um, yeah,
11:01
Speaker 1: that's what it was, man um. It was that year
11:04
Speaker 1: I think This is Us and QUENU came out the
11:06
Speaker 1: same time, absolutely know, you know, me starring and Susan
11:09
Speaker 1: a n each other for over twenty years, and and
11:11
Speaker 1: we were all just very excited, like this is a
11:14
Speaker 1: really great opportunity that we really get a chance to
11:15
Speaker 1: show our chops and what we can do and sure
11:18
Speaker 1: that we can you know, bring you can have a
11:20
Speaker 1: fan base. So that those were the years. That's when
11:23
Speaker 1: I saw the tire turn and it's never looked back. Man.
11:25
Speaker 1: Now you look, you know, you look at all the
11:28
Speaker 1: so many it's a plethora shows right now that that
11:31
Speaker 1: that showed the black life. You look at ABD Elementary.
11:34
Speaker 1: This is not particularly a black show, but it is
11:36
Speaker 1: a black show absolutely created by the black woman. But
11:39
Speaker 1: it's getting all the love, it's getting all the praise,
11:42
Speaker 1: you know, even before then, I think two thousand fourteen
11:44
Speaker 1: and fifteen when Blackish came out and I was like,
11:47
Speaker 1: you know, this looks like my sam, you know what
11:48
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it was that happen. Yeah, yeah, I
11:52
Speaker 1: appreciate that because of the fact that you're not talking
11:54
Speaker 1: to oh my door, say if his face looks for
11:56
Speaker 1: you know, it's four sounds familiar salf when they see

Speaker 1: in the in the Genius. Aretha Frankel was just on

Speaker 1: that geo. By the way, now you you in this,
12:23
Speaker 1: I think I call this a peach yourself serious, Queen Sugar,
12:26
Speaker 1: because when you get this opportunity, you know, because we
12:29
Speaker 1: all know that how these checks come in Hollywood, you
12:32
Speaker 1: you work and then you don't know when you're gonna
12:34
Speaker 1: work again. When you finally get a series, you can
12:37
Speaker 1: kind of relax, but you only relax to see if
12:39
Speaker 1: they're gonna renew it. Then you can like, oh, okay,
12:42
Speaker 1: they renewed it. Tell us about your role in Queens
12:45
Speaker 1: Sugar and the difference that makes in your life, both
12:49
Speaker 1: personally and what you're trying to do when you're trying
12:51
Speaker 1: to change the narrative on how blacks have changed or
12:54
Speaker 1: portrayed in television. Do you know it's a beautiful thing. Man.
12:58
Speaker 1: I remember the day that I was to move into
13:00
Speaker 1: Bahamas and it was Uh calls me, she says, oh,
13:03
Speaker 1: my mother do a show called Queen Sugars me. It's
13:08
Speaker 1: gonna be on the own network. And you know, I
13:10
Speaker 1: just got fairs working with Oprah on something with Ava
13:13
Speaker 1: And she said, she said, I want you to read
13:16
Speaker 1: the script and you tell what you think about it.
13:17
Speaker 1: I read the script, she said, read it. I wrot
13:19
Speaker 1: the Hollywood. I read it. I was like, oh, this
13:21
Speaker 1: is beautiful. I said, you want to play this role?
13:24
Speaker 1: And I just come down. This is me coming out
13:25
Speaker 1: for Ray Donovan, right, like you know, I Cookie Brown
13:30
Speaker 1: playing one of the coldest dudes on television. Yeah, she
13:34
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, oh I want you to play this role.
13:35
Speaker 1: Was a matter of fact, when when Ray Donovan was out,
13:38
Speaker 1: many went out. Uh when out, She was like, I
13:40
Speaker 1: liked right down and said you're great. After she said,
13:42
Speaker 1: but I see something else for you. She told me that,
13:45
Speaker 1: and I see something else. I don't want you to
13:47
Speaker 1: always have to play you know this, that and the other.
13:49
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, I feel you. I feel you. So
13:51
Speaker 1: maybe three or four months later, she hits me with
13:53
Speaker 1: that script and I Will said, why this is amazing,
13:57
Speaker 1: this is I love it. So when I thought this
13:58
Speaker 1: and Ford said no, no, no, no, no, no on
14:01
Speaker 1: this sod wha she said, she said, I'm producing the
14:05
Speaker 1: way over we will, I'm producing Oprah. We love you
14:08
Speaker 1: so well, call your lawyers and do the deal. And
14:11
Speaker 1: it's already a put series, which means it's already picked
14:15
Speaker 1: up for thirteen episodes. So I went from like job,
14:18
Speaker 1: the job, to like, wait, thirteen episode whoa? As a
14:25
Speaker 1: series regularly, my whole life changed in that conversation, you know,
14:30
Speaker 1: and it truly did. And and that's just the monetary thing.
14:34
Speaker 1: Playing Hollywood, playing Holly's worth day, so name the Hollywood.
14:39
Speaker 1: It's changed my life so much, has changed my life
14:43
Speaker 1: as a man because I'm saying these words to this
14:46
Speaker 1: woman every day, and I'm saying. At first, I was like, man,
14:50
Speaker 1: it's courting. Nobody thinks like this. Somebody talks like this,
14:52
Speaker 1: I'll play it. But then then the character starts to
14:55
Speaker 1: seep inside of me, and I found myself, uh, being
15:01
Speaker 1: more like Hollywood on a daily basis because I was like,
15:05
Speaker 1: this is how a man to treat this woman. This
15:08
Speaker 1: is how a man should be in the community. This
15:10
Speaker 1: is how a mansion treat his whole family. So I
15:13
Speaker 1: feel like playing that role has changed me that much
15:16
Speaker 1: and a change of perception on the type of actor
15:18
Speaker 1: I am I see now, man, Like it's crazy like
15:21
Speaker 1: the roles that I get now. You know, we're talking
15:23
Speaker 1: about going from playing Thug number one to playing the
15:27
Speaker 1: Sheriff and Halloween franchise, which is you know, also came
15:33
Speaker 1: from my buddies who did that. He's bound a down
15:35
Speaker 1: series I used to be on. But like a lot
15:39
Speaker 1: of the stuff I get now, man, a lot most
15:41
Speaker 1: of the things that I get now are these upstanding,
15:45
Speaker 1: you know, really great men. And I really appreciate that
15:49
Speaker 1: because and I know that it came from Queen Sugar.
15:51
Speaker 1: I know that. But I finished on a movie called
15:54
Speaker 1: water Boys and playing with the young the young fellow
15:58
Speaker 1: who's on Daily makes man um and I played his mentor.
16:02
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot of streets stuff involved in it,
16:04
Speaker 1: but I played his mentor who owns the who owns
16:07
Speaker 1: the I T Company and own such a company shop
16:11
