  Speaker 1: Anthony Payne and Hey col Man. Uh. First of all,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you know, congratulations own everything that you accomplish, but the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: reason I want to congratulation and say great things about
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you because you know, you do the big projects. But
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I always know that that it's important that you do
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: independent projects. Why isn't that so important to you? Because man,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it's it's uh, well, first of all, just how creative
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you're able to be, you know, um, within within those
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: uh so called boundaries, um, because there really aren't any,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: right and and um it's also it's about the work,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you know. You know when when it's an independent project,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: most of the time there's not a lot of money involved,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I love what I do. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it's about the art. It's about the art of it
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and the story that you're trying to tell, you know, um,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: or just being a part of something that that is
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: bigger than just what's on the paper, you know. It's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it's really interesting when I when I look at your
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: career and I look at the characters you play, you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: how it is how difficult is it to go from
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: drama the comedy or comedy the drama? Is that just
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: is that something natural you are, This something that you've
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you've you've you wanted to do in your resume. Man,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's supernatural. It's supernatural because it's like I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: think about, man, every day is drama, but you gotta laugh.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You gotta laugh at it, you know, and I think, uh,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you know, um to answer your question a little better, man,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I started off doing drama first, you know, I want
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to uh High School of Performing Arts in New York,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: which is now called LaGuardia. You know, I really got
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: accepted the Juilliard that chose to go to Howard University.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Everything started off with more drama anyway. Comedy is just
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: something that I just happened to be good at, I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: guess and and and made a living doing that as well.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: So it's it's it's not it's not hard to go
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: back and forth at all, you know, because again we
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: deal with enough drama to be able to laugh about it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: You know. I love talking to talent people. They make
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it seem like you knows no big deal, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: back and forth. You know I'm talking about you know
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking you know this show comedy. Comedy is
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: definitely harder, you know, it's definitely because because because it's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: about timing, it's right, right, I mean, and it's one
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: of those things where you can't teach that. You know
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I mean, you can, you can, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it's it's if it's natural and and you know, it's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: just this is one of those things that makes it happen. Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So now let's talk about the movie Misguided Behavior. Uh.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: First of all, he's very drama dramatic in this movie. Okay,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: um um. But also you you you went behind the lens,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you know how difficulty. Let's let's talk about the movie
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: just how everybody move. This is a movie that I'm
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed to be an executive producer in the movie.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It's an anti bullet movie. It's about the typical situation
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that he's a young man who's being bullied and he
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: has to add he lives in a lifestyle that you say,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: why is he underrass? Why is he not? In fact,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: where was his parents? Where his parents were always always
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: there for this young man. Father was in a little
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: bit of denial about what was going on. Mother was
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: overly concerned. So you had a confidict right there. You
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: had to over the concerned mom and the dad said
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: be a man, be a man, be a man. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: neither one of the parents was listening to the young
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: man's emotional pain. And that's what this movie is about. Uh,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I throw it back to you. I wanted to just
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: set it up for your call, because it's really a
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: movie that more and more people should be aware of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and parents should exposed and teachers should expose these young
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: adults to this movie, right right. I mean that was
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the thing that drew me to it, the story of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it all. As a matter of fact, once I started
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: doing the film, you know, I it hit home even
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: more so because my my son, my youngest son, was
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: actually going through that and I didn't even know it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You know, he was actually, you know, the same thing
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: was happening right at home and I did not even
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: know it. And you know, we have to stop. We
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: have to first of all. First of all, everything starts
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in the home. Everything starts at home, you know. And yes,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: we have to hold ourselves as well as the teachers
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: who we leave our children with for the majority of
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the day, the same thing, you know, And so we
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: have to have these dialogues. I have to have these conversations.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Then we have to be able to recognize things that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that are unsaid, because that's because sometimes it's too late
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: whether it's because someone has you know, taken their own
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: life tragically or by taking someone else's lives. You know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, we see that happen all the time, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and so it's about recognizing, uh, this this particular epidemic
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: before it gets out of control, and then having solutions
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and ways of dealing with it. So I just thought
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it was very important to tell this story so that
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: we can kind of bring awareness to to what's what's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: really going on. And you know that it's important. It's
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: important to you to to say that because of the fact
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that a bullying is not something you just started last
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: week or last year or five years ago. It just
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: keeps it, just keep getting more technology technically friendly, you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you can access it's his issue is issue. So when
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I was younger, right, I mean, I think we may
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: have all gone through some some of this, you know,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: but we cut from a different cloth. This is a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: different day of time. Let's just keep it behind it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: It's a different day of time, you know, said I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: grew up in the age where I had to go
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: outside the play you know, saying that there was no tech.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You know, what's't all this technology? And if I got bullied.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: It stayed right there. It didn't follow me for you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: give out the universe like it does on the internet.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You know, it didn't live where everybody could see it
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: over and over, you know, a million times a day.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So that's that's a huge difference right there alone, you
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's one thing when you've got
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a small three people you know, who are witnessed or something,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and then you have to deal with that versus millions
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of people. That's so true. That's so true. There's a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: huge difference, you know what I'm saying, um and and uh,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you know so again, you know, when I was younger
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and it happened to me, it was one of those
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: things that you know, it kind of shames your character.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It does, because you either stand up to the bully,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you know, or you're looking for help and support from
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the people around you who you know, to help defend
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you in those situations. Now, your character in the in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the in the movie, I won't expose too much of it,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: because it's definitely The movie is called Misguided Behavior is
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: directed by the incredible called Pain and the movie your
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: character is a very tortured soul in the movie and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it's a major role. Absolutely most most of times people
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: don't understand that the bullying starts sometimes at home with
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: an older sibling or a parent who is verbally, mentally,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: physically abusing, you know, abusing the child, and then you
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: know that that carries on on over into the child
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: at coming then as well or having to deal with
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that lashing out. Um so yeah, yeah, but it's it's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it's just dysfunction, that's just count You know that we
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: soil we have had to deal with for generations that
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: we've never dealt with the problem, never metter you this
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: when you found out your son, like my daughter I was,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I found out she was being bullied in school and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you know, my three young boys, you know that my
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: son was being my son was being bullied by a girl.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: The stigma there, the stigma there. It was like he
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: didn't want to He definitely didn't want to tell me that,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's not but it's not because you know,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: because we do we kind of we kind of put
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: that machines out there, you know, indirectly, you know what
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, But he definitely didn't want to tell me that,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and do not want to tell me that it is
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a certain shame about any level. I could say. You
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: know that the thing about it when you look at
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the individual like you and that like success. You know
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: your your your own point as a parent. But like
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm own point as a parent. And then
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I realized that my daughter for weeks or maybe months,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: has been terrorized at school. You go to school and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you go, Okay, how is this happening? And they don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: have a response. They don't have a response. And so
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: so right there, if you're the one, they don't have
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the proper training to deal with it, they don't have
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the properties in place to those kind of situations. And
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: they do, they definitely just put a band aid on it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: And that's the whole thing. So so the project we
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: brought to you by our good friend Sharon Tomlinson, uh
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: really talented independent movie producer and director herself. And so
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: so you have the other set aside of time to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: do this project. How do you with your schedule blockout
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: time to do an independent at that? Call? Very careful, No,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: it's listen, you want to I'll be totally honest with you.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: She knows it, she'll attest to this. We set out
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: of trying to do this and I said okay, and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: literally literally the day we wrapped, the day we wrapped,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the very next day, I was on a plane to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: go shoot the movie in South Africa. It was like
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't have one the moment to breathe, not one,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: not one. But I welcomed the experience, the challenged all
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: of it, you know what I mean. Um, And it's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: just important, you know, Like I said, it was important.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: So it's important to me because when I was exposed
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to the movie in Las Vegas for the very first
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: time and watching grown people cry and young teenagers confess
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: about us. And I think that's the big thing that
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: comes out of this movie is that it will open
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: up young people to say there is a problem, and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about the problem, because so many times projects
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: out there so unrelatable to them, are too extreme to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: them that they can't talk and call for you to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: come on and as you say, you know, it's Indy,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you blocked at your time you came on board and
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: misguided behaviors. The movie that we all should be going
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: out to watch. The big push start this week. UM,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: call anything you know, you know, it's interesting. Yeah, it's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a couple of things. One of the things that I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: felt was so so the something my son that was
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: being bullied. He has a cameo in the movie, right,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: he's a young young actor. And then my other son, Malick,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: actually plays the bully in the movie. Right. It was real, Yeah, yeah,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: it was. It was great being able to just work
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: with my sons so closely too, and hold that thought.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring you right back. Call hold that thought
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: right back out of the commercial break just for Sean
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: McDonald on the phone. Is called Anthony Pain. He's the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: director of the new movie A Misguided Behavior is an
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: anti bully movie where a team is being terrorized, and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: he has great parents. You would think that great parents
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: would recognize these issues, but like all situations, you don't know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and sometimes your child will not communicate the problem because
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: guess what, they don't know how to communicate the problem.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: So I'll call you. Was about to wrap up a
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: couple of statements before I was yes, I'm sorry, Yeah,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I know you gotta get I gotta get out of
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: here as well, But I just wanted to say it
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: was just a great experience overall. Um and and me
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: actually working on the project, like I said, brought a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: lot of things to like within my own home as well,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and me working very closely with my sons was one
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of the best experiences ever, just bonding with them over
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the summer in Las Vegas. So that's uh, yeah, that's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to add that Suns a fantastic actor,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: by the way, fantastic actor, fantastic Thank you man, Frank.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And again he just he just like you. He has
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: those levels, those levels, those different levels of being able
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to be. And now I think that's a gift that
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you've passed onto your son. Well, I'm trying to pass
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: on the work ethic gift the next gift because you
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: know this generation board, they feel it tighter, its win.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: They want to dare the to them. So I got
