Speaker 1 (00:56):
Thank you for doing this.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I know that you're a busy man and you're starting
in a really I see. I had the honor to
see this movie before it hit theaters for the premiere
last year, and I was so impressed by her acting.
I really got to say everybody, I mean, shout out
to Danny A for directing this movie. Who's a good
friend of ours, who's always amazing, always giving everybody, you know,
opportunities to shine. And yeah, talk to us a little
(01:21):
bit about the movie because it's so hot, there's so
much buzz around it.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Tell us a little bit about it and your role
in it.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I play a guy named Josh Hughes based on a
real character. We're not going to say no names that
you know, he ends up. He's a bad guy, you
know that meets a lot of bad guys, and you know,
he disappears and in the story, his mother's been looking
for him for a long time and she's never found them.
And you know, twenty years later, these two cops are
(01:50):
on Sally Jesse Raphael show and they're, you know, talking
about how they want to break into Hollywood and they
got books and they're all like trying to be famous
and all that. And that's how she kind of unwinds like,
that's the last time I seen my son was with
those two animals.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
And here we are. Yeah, I mean, it's a great.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's a great New York story, New York you know,
mob thriller. Danny A did a great job. The writer
did a great job, the producers did a great job.
Everybody was great. Jeremy David r. Kat Bo Diedle, Kevin Colney,
Joe Russo, I mean, you know, Montana, Tucker, Danny A, everybody.
(02:33):
I mean, it's it's a it's a great cast, and
it's a lot of fun roles in there, and it's
a good New York based on New York true story.
So you know, it was you know, I could dive
into the origin of how I got it and how Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Let's talk. Yeah. For those of the people that don't know,
excuse me.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
The long story short of it We're not gonna get
away is it's a movie about two dirty cops that
are really working with the mob, yep and working with
and there's different storylines that are really fascinating within it.
And I think the I think, what would you say
the message is for people to take away from this movie?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I would say, well, you know, I mean, life is dirty.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It's a dirty it's a dirty game, and you know
the people that are playing it, man, you got to
be careful who you who you trust, and especially if
it's a you know, people that are higher, higher ranks
in the NYPD.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
And and this is not like positioning any thing on
the on the blue.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
This is just you know, bad seeds in the in
the in the soil. You know, there was some bad
guys and then and you know, it can continue to happen.
You know, people get desperate, people get hungry with the
money they're making, and they start, you know, getting engulfed
in a life that they don't you know that, and
you know it doesn't end well for them, and they
(03:53):
do anything to keep those you know, those extra salaries
going because now everything's elevated, there's more money, there's more
you know, more places. You know, you spend more, You
buy your wife more things, you buy this, so you
buy that. And then when you know, when your salary
is not covering that, you're like, I gotta do this,
I gotta do that.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Am I allowed to curse?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah? Of course, yeah, thank god we can.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Okay, So you're like, fuck this, I gotta fucking do
what I gotta do.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
And it's you know, it's a it's a it's a
it's a I guess it's a you know, it's a
sad thing that that that's a true story because a
lot of people got hurt and a lot of people
you know, killed for nothing by you know, people that
are supposed to serve and protect.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
That's so interesting, Right, It's interesting that you say right,
because I think it's parallel to so.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
What we go through now in twenty twenty five. You
think you're progressing.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Obviously we don't get into politics, but like, you think
you're progressing, and then there's a lot of crime, and
it's like you said, I think people have this like
moral hierarchy on themselves.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
We all think we're righteous in some way, but really
you watch a movie like this and you're like, you
gotta do what you gotta do to survive sometimes, and
that's sometimes going to go against a moral code that
you're raised with. Or Yeah, so talk to us about
the role, like how did you get into the role?
And I know you do a lot of method My
my preference is method acting a lot. Like, so talk
(05:14):
to us like how you got into you know, prepping
for the role too, because you did.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You did a fantastic job. It was amazing. I don't
think much away.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
I really appreciate your kind words, and that means a lot,
you know, being from New York, you know, I'm from
Jamaica Queens pretty much, and uh, you know, a lot
of this was based in Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I was born in East New York, so I have
Brooklyn roots. I live in Brooklyn as well now in
Coney Island, but also in LA But having those roots
and growing up with guys in that in the vein
of that, you know, just being transparent, it was easy
for me to pull from you know, my upbringing.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You know, you know, I could kind of channel with
those kind of guys.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Are you know that I grew up with a with
a handful of them that you know, they're not here anymore,
they're gone, and you know, obviously they're not my friends
like that, but they were at the time, you know, yeah,
And you know, so I was able to pull from
that and just being in the you know, being around
in the neighborhoods my whole life, you know, I you know,
(06:21):
I wasn't in that in life like that, but I
was around guys that were and you know, I was,
you know, able to see how they were.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Think that the movie is so relatable, and like watching
you guys as characters are so relatable as a New
Yorker too. I was born in Queens, I was raised
in Brooklyn, moved to Long Island. Like the Five Boroughs,
you you feel like you can relate even if you
weren't in that life. I totally agree with you, like
you knew someone in that life or you knew someone
associated with that life. So it's even with the accent,
like you feel like you're like, I don't know about you,
(06:51):
but sometimes I feel like I'm a gangster myself, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You just you're you're around those people.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
So that's interesting that that's actually good that you were
able to actually be authentic towards yourself, you know, meaning
towards what you grew up around and what the movie needed.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I did my research on the character, and you know,
I I there was there was a little documentary on
the story, like a little YouTube doc that was was
interesting to watch, and you know, the the the the
engine behind his character and the reason why he got
killed and all that. So I was able to do
my diligence and and uh find out some more stuff
(07:25):
and then I just incorporated what you know, I grew
up around how they talked, you know, how you know
how how I was in some of the situations to
see how it went down. And when I was a teenager,
I've seen it all. You know, it was it's the
real deal. So I seen it, so it's not I
(07:47):
lived it. I lived and seen it, so I was
able to, you know, bring it back from where I
came from and realized that, you know, this is kind.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
Of how he would he would act to the way
these two cops are talking to him knowing who I am,
and I'm ruthless, don't care about anything, but I do
love my mother.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I love my mother more than anything, and I'm and
only thing that I worry about is what my mother
is gonna get when I die. And that's kind of
like the piece of the story that's interesting to this character.
And there's a crazy torture scene. We don't want to
give them nothing away, but the torture scene is everybody's favorite,
which I'm me and Joe Russo we kill it.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You guys are phenomenal, and I mean it was like,
you know, you wanted to wait for a good fella's movie.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
One of my favorite movies, and I think, no.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
No, no, no, good Fellas is the best.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yes, yes, you're right, Rutch, it is the best ever.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
And this reminded me a little bit because you haven't,
we haven't had something like Goodfellas.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Ever really in a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
And so when I'm watching this, it's like, that's kind
of the feel that you get, like you don't you
don't get that feeling. You get like chills you in
your spine when you watch the torture scene, especially with
you and Joey Russo.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And the acting is just phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I mean you really feel like you're in there with you,
you know, And that's acting. That's what acting is about, right,
It's feeling it, it's believing it. Talk to us a
little bit about working with Danny A, you know, because
this is not the first move. Just this is not
the first time you guys work together. You've worked together
in a couple of things.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
We become very close, like we're like brothers now, but
we like before that, we never really tried to or
we never got a chance to connect and work together.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And you know, we slowly started to see each.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Other a lot of in a lot of settings, and
then we were kind of like, yeah, come here, come down.
You know, we started becoming cooler. I met him at
my first time ever go into a screening in my
life when I first moved to la it was twenty fourteen.
I wasn't even an actor yet. I was just trying
to understand what this game is. And my friend Sean Woods,
(10:02):
who I was roommates with, New Danny, and we went
to his screening for the Club Life movie with Jerry
Ferraro and and uh am I saying his name right,
Jerry Jersey.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Great movie. I just watched it. I just watched it over.
Great movie.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
One of my ba I go there and I met
him through Sean, and I met my good friend Gordon,
people that I met like ten years ago, eleven years
ago and didn't reconnect with them until later on after
pat passing them by and stuff like that, or seeing
them in the business. So when I last year now
(10:40):
two years ago, I went to can with Gordon because
he was like, you gotta go, you gotta go. It's great,
it's great, And I was just like, all right, you know,
how much is it? Like Jesus Christ, It's a lot
of money.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, Yeah, People by the way we're gonna get into that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
People don't get that, like it's money to investigate these
things to happen.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Okay, it's it's not even it's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
But I so so funny story is, and I want
to share this with people who are driven and inspired
by acting or inspired to be producers, musicians, whatever it is.
That's the hardest game in this game, in this place,
n b A is the hardest thing in the in
the game. But like TV, film, comedy, you know, uh, music,
(11:24):
anything in that space is just so hard and you
and you and you work so hard. So I had
one of those moments in my life that gave me
we call it an injection of dope, you know what
I mean, Like it gave you that that dope of
Meine feel like, Okay, I'm I can still do this.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
So I get to.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Can for the first time and where Gordon's like taking
me around and we're going to like, you know, going
to see Brett Ratner. We're going to dinners with you
know what, what's his face? Uh, I'm facing on as
I hate when I do this, Jordan Belfort. We're going
to dinners. Everything's awesome and I'm like, this is fucking cool.

We're fucking you know, we're here, We're there, you know,
like like I was like, everybody from La is here.
Speaker 4 (12:10):

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Then he's like, Yo, we're going to rick Yowan's birthday party,
which it was just being Gordon. We had to go
home change, get dressed for this party. It's on this
yacht and it was like two hundred and fifty foot yacht.
I was just like, what the fuck am I looking at?
This is insane. I never seen nothing like this in
my life. And I've been in my business. Partner has
a one hundred and ten foot you know, I've seen it,
(12:33):
but not like this magnitude of a vessel. I mean,
I was like, what am I going on? We go
up the ramp. The first person I see is screaming
my name.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
It's Danny a look right, so what the you're doing it?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And he's standing next to DiCaprio, right next to DiCaprio,
and he's saying, what the fuck you're doing here?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I was just talking about you to jemming me. I
want to fucking get you in this fucking movie. I'm like,
what's going on? I'm like, what the fuck, are you
kidding me?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Like that feeling was cool and great and gratifying, the
feeling of like, holy shit, like.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Someone wants you, and right you're not. You're not because
this movie business is like give me a chance.
Speaker 4 (13:17):

Speaker 2 (13:19):
But you're with the best actor of all time, one
of the top fucking three. You're next to him and
you're talking to me. I'm like, what the Like, I
was just a little it felt like okay, I belong here,
you know what I mean, Like, okay, I'm not doing
this as a fucking hobby. And then he was just
like yeah, it's this fucking movie. And we just started talking.
(13:39):
And then he was like the Goat's downstairs.

Speaker 8 (14:01):
So when you're talking Goodfellas or Raging Bull or fucking
anything that's New York. I'm especially Cassine.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I mean, as I love Casino, but but I am
obsessed with it because he was shot in my whole neighborhood,
all over Jamaica Avenue, all over my neighborhood. It's it's
it's it's a masterpiece. There's nothing that will touch it.
God bless you, Marty for making the best movie of
all time. Nobody can touch it. And people will like, yeah,
well you know Godfather, Yeah, no, god Godfather is amazing.
(14:32):
I love it because it's a it's a it's a
beautiful family story.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
But Goodfellas is what I know. That's the fucking.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
People I grew up around streets I grew up on
Like that, to me is a masterpiece. So when you

fucking good fellas. I want to make my fucking mean streets.
You know, whatever the case is. Whatever I'm just saying,
like so to me, that was like Wow, that was
the moment. And you won't you leave Cannon some high,
you know what I mean, because you get flooded with
a lot of great things that make you. It's like
(15:26):
a recharge in the year to go there, make moves,
do what you gotta do. I got nine movies being
sold there now, one of them I directed, I mean,
and I mean, I'm in one with fucking Tommy Lee Jones,
now you know, being sold there one with me and
Jeremy Piven like like and then you know all the
other ones. Me and I'm on the Santhe's still waiting
for that movie to come out. It's called oh whatever.
(15:48):
It's all great stuff. But I don't go there for cloud.
I don't go there for to be an imposter.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Be seen, right, I don't go there like as an influencer,
to be seen, That's what I mean. Like it's you're
going there for real deal, Like I want my story
to be heard.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yes, I have things there that are real. Mob Cops
is probably still being sold in certain territories. So I
went there last year and I'm on FaceTime with Danny
and me and Ali where.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
We Love You, Me and and my boy Eli.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
My boy Eli came with us, and we went to
see the screening for the buyers, and it was really
I was like I had purpose.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Like the next day is Saturday, I'm there and.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
My movie's being screened and this, uh whatever in the
theater for the buyers, even though it's not like a
full on the red carpet and all the glamour and
all that great shit of being in the competition, which
I would hope one day I'm in something that's a
part of that, and I'm working for that, you know.
And I'm not delusional, but at least I'm in the
in the My uncle Joe, he's like my uncle, but
(16:52):
he's my father.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
He's my father's best friend. My father just passed away.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I'm so sorry to hear is like my father.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
They raised me with my dad.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Joe says, if you're not in the fucking mix of nuts,
how are you gonna get picked out?
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Because people call it networking, and I hate that word.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I hate that work, Like I get disgusted when I
hear networking because you got an agenda.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Oh, I gotta go there because this one's gonna be there.
That one's gonna be just disgusting. So to all the.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
People who want to ask me, how do you do this?
You gotta be genuine, You gotta do it right. You
gotta be a fucking good person and don't have an
agenda going somewhere because people sniff that straight out. They
sniff it out. Bring shit to the table. He's someone
of quality that brings things to the table. Not you're
not sitting there looking for somebody to give you a
fucking roll or hand you something because you're dead on
(17:43):
a rival. So he always says, if you know, like
you got to invest in yourself. If you're not in
the you know, if you're not in the mix of nuts,
you're not you're not in the begg of nuts, how
are you gonna get picked out? And it's a good
analogy if he's got the personality. But you know, that's
one of them. And I just wanted to shout out, Joe,
I love you.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It was my dad's best friend and my dad just
passed aways ago.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
He rests in peace.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I'm so sorry to hear that shout out to your
dad because he raised a great son. I'm sure he's
looking down on you, proud of you, you know. Which
it's hard losing someone. I lost my cousin, my first cousin.
She was like a sister.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's hard.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
It's hard to lose people. But what happens is the
story gets greater, you know. Unfortunately with the pain, you
can come like something greater even for you in the future,
for you know, a movie about your dad, or maybe
one day something dedicated to you and your.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Dad, you know what I mean. I always love those
kind of movies, you know, Like I.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Wrote a pilot's well, how you Doing? It's about my
dad and his cat.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Oh that's good, that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Yeah, it's a comedy like three Cam I wrote it.
It's how You Doing?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And if you ever need a female part, I'm your's
sing voute.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
It's in New York.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
It's like Queens of It's like King of Queens meets
Like everyone loves Raymond, but like I love that Amrican Italian.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Culture because I'm Puerto Rican too.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
My father's my father's from Napolin, my mother's from Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Oh, that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Oh and my mother was killed in Puerto Rico two
and o'clock crash, so that's not.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Going yeam Lorenzo, you've been through it.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
See, most people don't get Also, it's like you have
this luck, thank God, blessings, but sometimes from those blessings,
people go.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Through a lot of shit to get there. Like people
don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
They could look at it and be like, he's handsome, he's
a great actor, he's smart, he's all these things.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
He has it all together.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
He has a beautiful girlfriend, he has money, whatever they
want to think, and then they don't realize, Wow, there's
also come a lot of heartache and like pain and
like shit, you know that you have to overcome and
then to get to the good stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You know, that's crazy. This is like a real it's
another story.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah that was twenty years ago, in two thousand and four.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
That was the worst.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
So how did you get through like all this trauma away?
How did you not make it an excuse? Because most
people make that an excuse, right, Like I'm not going
to be famous actor because this and this happened to me,
or I can't get into an audition and look at
you you're even like making your own movies, even though
there's other people who want to work with you.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You're never like relying or waiting.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
What do you do? Like what's the process for you?
Like how do you get up every day? And you're like,
I'm not gonna let this be my story.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
I just do it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I don't stop. I'm out of my mind. I think
that Kevin Hart said it best. He said something like,
you know what the hardest thing to do is to
put your role into something every day and wake up
doing that. You're still in that same spot every day
until you kind of inch out of it, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
And that's what I.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Look at, you know, because I was in a band
and I toured the world and I did all that
for so long, and that's why I'm in the music
business still.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
But like I you know, that was a long journey
for me too.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You know, everything takes ten years, fifteen years, and people
the people that get it fast, so lucky, God bless them.
But I don't know if you know that's my journey.
My journey has been my journey. And you know, I
just want to be doing awesome movies being do what
I do and and and be awesome at doing it
and working with my you know, Peers number one, and
(21:17):
then working with the Legends, and I mean, shit, I
got to work with Bruce Willis, I got to work
with you I'm in some of his last movies ever.
And I got to work with Tommy Lee Jones, you know,
I mean that guy's want an oscar, you know, so
you know, every every and then obviously David Arquette, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yeah, I was going to ask, how is how is
it working with David ArKade? I met him in person.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
He's just a great guy. He's awesome, great guy.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
He's so humble and just cool. He loves wrestling, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
He knows that I was fucking wrestling at some point,
trying to get into the ww tryouts and things of
that nature. And uh, he's just a normal guy, man,
And I love that about him. He's so cool and
very you know, he's awesome at what he does. And
he played a really good New Yorker and he did it.
He did it really well in the in the in
the movie as the cop. And yeah, I have some
(22:10):
great scenes with him. You know, he's you know, throwing
me in trunks and ship, you know, because they got
me all tied up.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Yeah. I don't ever watched a movie, but I want
to give yeah hints, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
You had ever weird like when you're like love an actor,
for example, you respect an actor so.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Much, and then you guys are getting along and then
you have.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
To have scenes where you're opposite or is that does
that ever get weird for you?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Or just that's that's the name of the game.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We all know.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
We all know as actors, you have to play that part,
you know, when he's throwing you.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I'm not going to give it away, but.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I was already kind of I think that I was
already kind of like a hanging with David, like coming
to set before I started shooting.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Met him before that.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I think I met him a little bit before doing
a table I don't know when I met him. Maybe
it was a table read, maybe it wasn't a table read,
but I know that I was already comfortable enough to
not feel like like shy or or or something, and
and I just felt like he was you know, like
you know, we're cuf from the same cloth in so
many ways that it's not like, you know, I gotta
(23:11):
be uh walking on eggshells. But working with Tommy Lee
Jones was a different story.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, how was that?
Speaker 4 (23:19):
How is he's he's exactly like the Marshall.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, in in in the US Marshal or you know,
what's the more we called them spacing on the name.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
I'm spacing on a lot of things today.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
He's very serious, like a very serious as he is.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yes, and in the Marshall? Was that what he plays
the Marshal in? What the hell?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You know what you're talking about? I can even right away?
Speaker 4 (23:41):
It was amazing Harrison Ford.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Yeah, I know the fugitive of course, Yes, he's amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Very similar to that guy.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But he's but he's actually, you know, I never really
when we were shooting, I was, you know, like there
was a lot of you know, things that people were
saying that needed to be a certain way and protocol
on set. So I just stayed to myself and when
it was time to block scenes with him, you know,
I didn't introduce myself. I was just like, let's go
(24:12):
whatever you wanted, like whatever what time it is. And
he I think he liked it because he started like
getting the sides and he was like, come on, Lorenzo,
is your name. He's like, come on, He's like, card
this word out. He's like, keep the pace going, let's
just get And I was like, yo, he's fucking directing me.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
He's he's teaching me. I think this is so cool.
And I just stayed.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I was like, yes, sir, no problem, no problem, sir.
But yes, I flew in literally in Georgia.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
In the disgusting ninety five degree heat.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I flew in and immediately was right to wardrobe, right to.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Shooting, and it was it was.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It was an awesome feeling, but it was also intense
in so many ways. But yeah, I shout out to Tommy.
He's he's a he's a he's a. I mean, he's
a savage.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's really cool to get to work.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I think that's like the success Like for me when
I hear a friend or a colleague or myself, when
you're acting alongside great actors, that in itself already is
success because it's so hard to already get into a
movie or a show, like you said, or create something,
and then you're creating it with magical, talented people that
have been around for so long and are respected.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
That's what like, Wow, I'm getting.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
More and more because I was going to ask you,
like the audience, we're living a generation with social media
now right, young influencers. People are making it by just
doing you could call it silly videos, you could call
it not cool videos, whatever, but people getting a little
bit upset about the hierarchy where a social media influencer
will make it as a big actor, whereas an actor
who's really like working on the craft for so long,
(25:46):
you know, might not get the right opportunities. Or they
say like you have to be young and hot. I mean,
do you believe in all these stereotypes? Do you believe
they you have to be a certain way to make
it in Hollywood? Or for me, I love the way
you and Danny a are where it's like you create
your own shit.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
It could happen.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
You don't care, Like I remember one time he said
to me, Danny, he was like, you can't care what
people think, Like you could be Julia Roberts and you're
gonna have haters, So what are you gonna do. You're
not gonna please everyone. You might as well just do
what you know. You can't wait on everybody to pick
you either, like you know what I mean? And that
was the greatest advice I got because I'm like, holy shit,
you know, you work with the people that want to
work with you and the people who don't. You're right,
(26:23):
like you might want to work with them for your
whole life. They might reject you, but yeah, I want
to get your opinion on it, because you're such an
entrepreneur and I respect that about you. You're such a
hustler and you don't I see you. Also, we've hung
out at events, like you don't kiss people's ass. You're
very authentic to yourself, and I'm I like that. I
don't want to have to be a certain way to
get a part, you know.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
What I mean, my my take, my take on sor
right for the rant?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Oh no, I mean I can respond, you know, like
to what you got, you know, like, so to touch
on two of those things, like I don't think that
social media influences become big actors.
Speaker 9 (27:00):
It.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I haven't seen one of them yet become someone that's
respected as an actor and not just thrown into a
movie because they have a million followers, right, So that's
one thing. So I don't know if they be in
a social media star money that way makes you hungry
enough to get behind the camera and really practice the
(27:23):
craft and go behind you know, like go to classes
and start you know, working with acting coaches and learning
how to be an actor instead of being silly on
IG which is great.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Everybody thinks that I should have been an IG guy. Funny.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I'm funny. I don't care about that, Like, that's not
important to me. I don't care about making money that way.
I'm not driven by that. I'm driven about being an
artist and being able to deliver what is great from
the writing and what I can sell with my eyes.
So like when it comes to like I you know,
like everybody's told me, you got to do this, you
(27:58):
got to do that, you should become you be so
funny if you did this, And I'm not passionate about
it because you know, yeah, I'm I got some some
like words of wisdom moments once you know, every once
in a while on my Instagram and things of that nature.
But oh, I'm funny, but I'm not. I'm not trying
to be that guy. I want to be recognized for
(28:18):
being real. I'm in this for the long haul, you know.
Like there's a lot of guys and I don't want
to say names on on social media and they take
the Italian culture and they make it look like, they
make it horrible, they make they make us look terrible,
and that's I don't care what they think. But I
just think that it's just come on like like like
(28:38):
like that's not how we all talk, you know. But
that's fine, that's they make their money. I'm cool with it.
I think it's it's it's it's it's.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Eyeballs on the culture.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
But it doesn't it doesn't represent who we are, even
though we know that's how we talk, we're in the neighborhood,
but not to the extent how they, you know, amplify
it and make it over over, they go over the top.
So some of those influences, I don't think that they
have passion or they want to be in movies and
they're like, yeah, you know, I got a million follows,
you should put me in a movie. Yeah, put me
(29:09):
in a movie. And then when they're like, yeah, well
you're gonna make three hundred bucks, and they're like, oh,
they don't understand because you know what, you're not nobody
in the movie game.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
See, you're gonna go through what every actor had to
go through to get to where they are when they're
actually valuable in some kind of way. So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I don't think that it's it's the worst way to
be positioned. But if one of those guys who were
doing their funny skits and they're just on social media
all day and all this stuff and whatever, if they
were taking acting classes and taking that seriously and then
really auditioning for roles and completely compartmentalizing the two. I'm
(29:50):
famous for this little window of seven hundred thousand people here,
but I want to take this serious and compartmentalize. I
think that they would do way better because now they
have that platform to work with. This is my eyeballs.
But if you take me serious, you got I haven't
seen not one. I don't care how hot they are
girls you know, from different you know what, any culture
(30:14):
you know, I don't see. You know, they have to
be a singer, or they have to be something that
has art you know that's not artists when they're just
being like goofy on on Instagram. I could do that.
If I did that, I would have I would have
had a million followers a long time ago. Like I
could be a moron all day.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Had it in me.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
They probably taken me from doing it ten years ago,
just organically doing it. They probably take it because I
hear a lot of my words out thereat older than
all these guys, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
So yeah, because I.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Think our culture, even with comedy, it's become like obsessed
with physicality. Like I don't remember the world of Hollywood
and I've been in the game for a long time.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Maybe I haven't made it the way I want to,
but just doing.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Different works of art, and I don't remember it being
that this superficial where it's literally like, oh, you don't
have a certain fouling and you're not that hot, you
can't go on stage and make people laugh. It's like, well,
I come from Rodney Dangerfield and like Robin, like those
people weren't that wasn't about being hot Yeames.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah, Queens, it's like you what's his name?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Oh, my god?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
From that Queen show with the two what's his name?
Also now I'm blanking out, he's.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Kevin Kevin Kevin James, Yes, Kevin.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
James, like you remember those are like the greats, like
you don't remember. So I don't know if you felt
this way too with Hollywood. In general like that it's
become so youth obsessed and focused. To me, when you
tell a story, you can tell a story in any way, really,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Agent Fiel didn't get on Ed Sullivan's show until he
was like forty seven years old.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Really wow, I didn't even know that it took him.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Fabruar.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That's inspiring.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
This story is insane. He lived on Austin Street.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
By by by his ball by my old like up
the block from left Fixe leftis Boulevard on Jamaica.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
He lived right there above the ballot so great.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I loved him so much.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I remember watching him and being like, oh, there's not
really are like, there is no ster like you can
become who you are.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
What I love.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
What we loved about him, I think was the authenticity,
you know what I mean. So it's like, yeah, I
think you're right. I think you have to be authentic
to who you are to make it. It's not about like
making it on social media or it's like being just
you and like having people love you for.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
The roles you do and the art you you create.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah, that's the that's the that's the goal.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I mean, you know, mob cops going back to Mob
Cops if it's you know, I'm hoping and I feel
like there's a lot of buzz behind it that that
the movie will start, you know, be like a like
a nice independent underground you know, classic, you know that
that that people that it'll it'll get a lot of eyeballs,
and that will position all the actors that have been
(32:47):
doing it forever. Jeremy, he's been doing it forever. Jeremy No, I,
you know, he deserves his shot. Joey deserves it. Everybody
deserves this shot, you know, and and and and and
Danny did a great job acting and any places the
lead detectives. Yeah, everybody deserves their shot because they work
on it.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
And I just don't know if being an influencer X,
you know, X.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Expedites the process because of just what you do, unless
you are creative and actually going to make your own
show where you're going to take the money you make
it from being an influencer and shoot your own comedy,
putting yourself into a in a position.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
Of of you know, you know, you have distribution everywhere
you can go and put yourself, you know, put yourself
over making a movie about yourself, shooting a movie, getting
a team for two.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Fifty three hundred thousand dollars, and then you have all
the eyeballs that are gonna want to see it because
of you, and then they can go viral from there.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
You know, that's that's a way an influencer could do it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
But I just don't know if that's what they're you know,
willing to sacrifice, because it's a lot of sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
All I did was I love that you say that
is it is. It's a lot of sex.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
It's a lot of being broke a lot of times
without telling people out loud. It's a lot of embarrassing, embarrassing,
prideful moments that you really can't really talk I feel
from my experience you just don't talk about.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
But you do and you work it right, and yeah,
that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
You don't give up because it always gets figured out.
If you are working hard and you feel like you're
working hard making.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
No money, when there is no money, you're still working
hard and you're.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Underwater somewhere out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Just boom, you get covered and you're good for another
two months and you're like, WHOA, yeah, I got.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
So many bills. I got two places, you know, what
I don't stop hustling. You know, acting is slow. Great.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I'm watching, you know, like on my downtime and watching
master classes or whatever. I'm not like, I'm not an audition,
but I'm building other companies. I'm doing stuff with my
with my label, with my artists. I'm managing them. I'm
getting them placements and I'm getting them on the radio.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
I'm putting that record.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, I'm always working because you know, if I just
sat in a classroom and worked, I wouldn't be able
to pay my bills. And real life I live, and
you know, I got two nice places in the life
I live. I don't want to not live that life
(35:20):
because I gotta, because I'm going to be broke and
sit in a classroom or sitting and work at a
bar or no. So I go and hustle everything that
I want. I do whatever the fuck I want when
I want. Nobody tells me what to do. And that's
what took me ten years or twelve years being in
(35:41):
LA to really overcome, was get myself to a place
where nobody tells me what to do. I do whatever
the fuck I want. I go where I want, I
pay my bills, I get them done. No matter how
hard it gets, I always do it and I'm able
to do whatever I want at any given time.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
And that's true freedom though, that is that's that's what
our audience should strive to want to be, is like
self sufficient with whatever you do, you know, in whatever.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yes, that's successful. Like that's being successful because you're healthy,
you're out there working, you're making moves, you're always figuring
it out. Yeah, it gets stressful. Nothing is easy. But
you know what, what's worse than working a day job
and wishing that you could take off to go do
an audition, or wishing you can go take off to
go produce something, or wishing you could take off to
(36:30):
go to can and make moves, or you know, or
wishing to be in the mix at all.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Like, yeah, I think that it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
You know, what's your tip for actors, up and coming
actors or actors that are established already on how to
deal with rejection movies they really want they might not
get an oscar, they might not never get.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
You know, how do you deal with rejection in this business?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
You know, knowing that you get rejected every day, it's
a part of the process, you know, like you know,
for every fifteen o's, you might get one yes.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
That one yes will lead to other things.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Right, That's no, that's really great advice. Like you have
to just accept it.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
I think it's accepting reality and not dwelling on oh
my god, this person doesn't want me or this or
taking it personal.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Right, it's not about taking it personal.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Is there any role that happened to you where you
were like I really wanted that role and it just
you know, they said, okay, it's not a fit for you,
but they thought of you for something else.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
There was a well Tulsa King was I was up
for two episodes.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
And then but I didn't you know, I got pinned
and I was like it was looking really good and
I didn't get it. It went through, it fell through,
and you know, obviously I remember slide I mentioned, and.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
You know, you know, I'm gonna put some good words
in there, and you know what, you know, I need
I need the info.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
And I remember that that was a really amazing moment
in my in my life that you know, gave me
another shot of dope.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, I could see you and Sevesteria and audience together.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of great you know,
moments like that that that do get you know, like
that do hurt when they don't happen, but you know
it's it's a part of the process.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
Again. You're in the you're in the mix of nuts.
You're in the bag of nuts getting picked.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
You know it might not work that that day, but
you know three years later it might be something two
years later.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
You just never know.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
I love it Uncle Joey's advice. We need to stick
to that. We're gonna wrap up really soon. I have
a couple more questions from the audience. Uh, talk to
us a little bit about producing now. So you come
from you're producing other projects. You can talk to us
and share us, you know, and we'd love for you
to share us with us some of the projects you're producing.
What from a producing standpoint and a writer standpoint? What
do you usually look for when you're making movies, even
(39:01):
with actors, but storylines like what inspires you.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
I like a lot of thrillers.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I like a lot of h I would love to
do a war movie, like an old nineteen forties, you know,
like a World War two flick.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
I love a lot of you know war stuff.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Obviously, my movies that are really cool you know, that
have done well, they're not yankie. I love the horror
space and I like you know, I like a lot
a lot of action, you know.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
I like the.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Expendable type action movies, the fast and the furious.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yeah, you know, I would love to do that.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Hopefully one day I'll get you know, casted for something
like that, or I'll just make it with I got
a comic book series, you know that I'm working.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I love that comic book Yes, bring it back my favorite.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
We got a bunch of comics, a bunch of ip
Maybe one day that'll be something that I can, you know,
get off the ground and starring one of those. And
there's a lot it's quite night of a callags. It's
like the Warriors means lost boys, so it's like vampire
street gangs.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
That's a lot of stuff. That's a bunch of text
messages coming in right now. That's distracting me. But about that,
and uh, you know, I love the horror genre. That's
a cool genre when they tastefully done. And I love comedy,
you know, I want to do.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Yeah, I'd love to see you in a comedy. You know,
we're working actually in a comedy.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
I feel like you there's a great part for you
in it, and we could talk about that offline, but like,
I feel like you'd be great. You're really funny too
with your social I also think you should be doing
the car when you're talking in the car and the
videos every day you're like, the fuck do these?
Speaker 4 (40:46):
You know?
Speaker 3 (40:46):
I think you talking to the gen Z generation in
the my cousin Vinny old school kind of way.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
I think that branding.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
I know that sometimes you don't want to do it
or but I do think it works for you, you know,
because every day you do it and you're like, fuck
you you're twenty five.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
You don't know shit from your elbow.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
But anyway, let me tell you, you know what's.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
I think life experience does experience. You know, my experience
will teach you.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
More than experience will teach you better than anybody, you know,
especially you know life experience every day.
Speaker 4 (41:20):

are the scarier ones for me.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
But yeah, like, no, you've been amazing. Thank you. I
really appreciate everything that you've done for us. Oh, the
audience wants to know dating tips.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
We always ask you can feel comfortable not but like
in this industry, I guess, how important is it to
be with somebody that supports your career or like, do
you feel you can be with somebody that like not
necessarily agrees with everything you do? But like, I guess,
what's one tip to have like a healthy relationship.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
I think it's you would want to probably date someone
opposite your your career business, but supports your business.
Speaker 4 (46:06):
Supports your career one trillion percent is behind you. I
think being kind of like, uh, you know, two actors
together is rough.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
I don't think that that is a is a a
good recipe, you know, but it works or it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (46:26):
You know, it could be it could be really bad.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
And again I think that there's uh, you know, there's
like really good I guess it's like really good case studies.
You know, like you don't want, you know, like to
be with someone that's in the same business because then
I think it happened to Sinatra, you know, like it
happened with him and Judy what was her name, Judy
(46:56):
Garland or the other one that he was with, and
that you know that that's talking the sixties, fifties, sixties,
you know, like think about things like this now is
like you know, social media and you know, like who's
on top and who's better and you know, like you know,
it's one happy with the other. I mean they show
it on the show Barry. They show it like when
(47:18):
he starts getting you know in movies, and he's just
going right for the read too, for the director. You
can see his girlfriend's like, oh, you know, I've been
doing this twenty years. It's like, bro, it's like you're
not happy. I suggest don't date an actress or an
actor if you're an actress or an actor, because it's
it's it's it's it's not what I suggest. I don't
(47:39):
think that it's a good recipe. I don't think it's
a good method. But if it works, it's God bless
you know. But I don't know what the right way
to do it. But my dating tips to me is like,
you know, find somebody that supports you and that you
can have fun every single day with laughing at every
single thing you guys talk about and the zero points
(48:00):
zero toxicity, zero zero points, zero arguments.
Speaker 4 (48:02):
And I think that that's a recipe of a great relationship.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
I love that Lorenzo Antonucci, he's coming out with a
dating book soon.

Thank you for doing this.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I know that you're a busy man and you're starting
in a really I see. I had the honor to
see this movie before it hit theaters for the premiere
last year, and I was so impressed by her acting.
I really got to say everybody, I mean, shout out
to Danny A for directing this movie. Who's a good
friend of ours, who's always amazing, always giving everybody, you know,
opportunities to shine. And yeah, talk to us a little
(01:21):
bit about the movie because it's so hot, there's so
much buzz around it.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Tell us a little bit about it and your role
in it.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I play a guy named Josh Hughes based on a
real character. We're not going to say no names that
you know, he ends up. He's a bad guy, you
know that meets a lot of bad guys, and you know,
he disappears and in the story, his mother's been looking
for him for a long time and she's never found them.
And you know, twenty years later, these two cops are
(01:50):
on Sally Jesse Raphael show and they're, you know, talking
about how they want to break into Hollywood and they
got books and they're all like trying to be famous
and all that. And that's how she kind of unwinds like,
that's the last time I seen my son was with
those two animals.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
And here we are. Yeah, I mean, it's a great.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's a great New York story, New York you know,
mob thriller. Danny A did a great job. The writer
did a great job, the producers did a great job.
Everybody was great. Jeremy David r. Kat Bo Diedle, Kevin Colney,
Joe Russo, I mean, you know, Montana, Tucker, Danny A, everybody.
(02:33):
I mean, it's it's a it's a great cast, and
it's a lot of fun roles in there, and it's
a good New York based on New York true story.
So you know, it was you know, I could dive
into the origin of how I got it and how Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Let's talk. Yeah. For those of the people that don't know,
excuse me.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
The long story short of it We're not gonna get
away is it's a movie about two dirty cops that
are really working with the mob, yep and working with
and there's different storylines that are really fascinating within it.
And I think the I think, what would you say
the message is for people to take away from this movie?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I would say, well, you know, I mean, life is dirty.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It's a dirty it's a dirty game, and you know
the people that are playing it, man, you got to
be careful who you who you trust, and especially if
it's a you know, people that are higher, higher ranks
in the NYPD.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
And and this is not like positioning any thing on
the on the blue.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
This is just you know, bad seeds in the in
the in the soil. You know, there was some bad
guys and then and you know, it can continue to happen.
You know, people get desperate, people get hungry with the
money they're making, and they start, you know, getting engulfed
in a life that they don't you know that, and
you know it doesn't end well for them, and they
(03:53):
do anything to keep those you know, those extra salaries
going because now everything's elevated, there's more money, there's more
you know, more places. You know, you spend more, You
buy your wife more things, you buy this, so you
buy that. And then when you know, when your salary
is not covering that, you're like, I gotta do this,
I gotta do that.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Am I allowed to curse?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah? Of course, yeah, thank god we can.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Okay, So you're like, fuck this, I gotta fucking do
what I gotta do.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
And it's you know, it's a it's a it's a
it's a I guess it's a you know, it's a
sad thing that that that's a true story because a
lot of people got hurt and a lot of people
you know, killed for nothing by you know, people that
are supposed to serve and protect.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
That's so interesting, Right, It's interesting that you say right,
because I think it's parallel to so.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
What we go through now in twenty twenty five. You
think you're progressing.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Obviously we don't get into politics, but like, you think
you're progressing, and then there's a lot of crime, and
it's like you said, I think people have this like
moral hierarchy on themselves.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
We all think we're righteous in some way, but really
you watch a movie like this and you're like, you
gotta do what you gotta do to survive sometimes, and
that's sometimes going to go against a moral code that
you're raised with. Or Yeah, so talk to us about
the role, like how did you get into the role?
And I know you do a lot of method My
my preference is method acting a lot. Like, so talk
(05:14):
to us like how you got into you know, prepping
for the role too, because you did.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You did a fantastic job. It was amazing. I don't
think much away.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
I really appreciate your kind words, and that means a lot,
you know, being from New York, you know, I'm from
Jamaica Queens pretty much, and uh, you know, a lot
of this was based in Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I was born in East New York, so I have
Brooklyn roots. I live in Brooklyn as well now in
Coney Island, but also in LA But having those roots
and growing up with guys in that in the vein
of that, you know, just being transparent, it was easy
for me to pull from you know, my upbringing.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You know, you know, I could kind of channel with
those kind of guys.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Are you know that I grew up with a with
a handful of them that you know, they're not here anymore,
they're gone, and you know, obviously they're not my friends
like that, but they were at the time, you know, yeah,
And you know, so I was able to pull from
that and just being in the you know, being around
in the neighborhoods my whole life, you know, I you know,
(06:21):
I wasn't in that in life like that, but I
was around guys that were and you know, I was,
you know, able to see how they were.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Think that the movie is so relatable, and like watching
you guys as characters are so relatable as a New
Yorker too. I was born in Queens, I was raised
in Brooklyn, moved to Long Island. Like the Five Boroughs,
you you feel like you can relate even if you
weren't in that life. I totally agree with you, like
you knew someone in that life or you knew someone
associated with that life. So it's even with the accent,
like you feel like you're like, I don't know about you,
(06:51):
but sometimes I feel like I'm a gangster myself, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You just you're you're around those people.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
So that's interesting that that's actually good that you were
able to actually be authentic towards yourself, you know, meaning
towards what you grew up around and what the movie needed.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I did my research on the character, and you know,
I I there was there was a little documentary on
the story, like a little YouTube doc that was was
interesting to watch, and you know, the the the the
engine behind his character and the reason why he got
killed and all that. So I was able to do
my diligence and and uh find out some more stuff
(07:25):
and then I just incorporated what you know, I grew
up around how they talked, you know, how you know
how how I was in some of the situations to
see how it went down. And when I was a teenager,
I've seen it all. You know, it was it's the
real deal. So I seen it, so it's not I
(07:47):
lived it. I lived and seen it, so I was
able to, you know, bring it back from where I
came from and realized that, you know, this is kind.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
Of how he would he would act to the way
these two cops are talking to him knowing who I am,
and I'm ruthless, don't care about anything, but I do
love my mother.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I love my mother more than anything, and I'm and
only thing that I worry about is what my mother
is gonna get when I die. And that's kind of
like the piece of the story that's interesting to this character.
And there's a crazy torture scene. We don't want to
give them nothing away, but the torture scene is everybody's favorite,
which I'm me and Joe Russo we kill it.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You guys are phenomenal, and I mean it was like,
you know, you wanted to wait for a good fella's movie.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
One of my favorite movies, and I think, no.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
No, no, no, good Fellas is the best.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yes, yes, you're right, Rutch, it is the best ever.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
And this reminded me a little bit because you haven't,
we haven't had something like Goodfellas.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Ever really in a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
And so when I'm watching this, it's like, that's kind
of the feel that you get, like you don't you
don't get that feeling. You get like chills you in
your spine when you watch the torture scene, especially with
you and Joey Russo.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And the acting is just phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I mean you really feel like you're in there with you,
you know, And that's acting. That's what acting is about, right,
It's feeling it, it's believing it. Talk to us a
little bit about working with Danny A, you know, because
this is not the first move. Just this is not
the first time you guys work together. You've worked together
in a couple of things.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
We become very close, like we're like brothers now, but
we like before that, we never really tried to or
we never got a chance to connect and work together.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And you know, we slowly started to see each.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Other a lot of in a lot of settings, and
then we were kind of like, yeah, come here, come down.
You know, we started becoming cooler. I met him at
my first time ever go into a screening in my
life when I first moved to la it was twenty fourteen.
I wasn't even an actor yet. I was just trying
to understand what this game is. And my friend Sean Woods,
(10:02):
who I was roommates with, New Danny, and we went
to his screening for the Club Life movie with Jerry
Ferraro and and uh am I saying his name right,
Jerry Jersey.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Great movie. I just watched it. I just watched it over.
Great movie.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
One of my ba I go there and I met
him through Sean, and I met my good friend Gordon,
people that I met like ten years ago, eleven years
ago and didn't reconnect with them until later on after
pat passing them by and stuff like that, or seeing
them in the business. So when I last year now
(10:40):
two years ago, I went to can with Gordon because
he was like, you gotta go, you gotta go. It's great,
it's great, And I was just like, all right, you know,
how much is it? Like Jesus Christ, It's a lot
of money.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, Yeah, People by the way we're gonna get into that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
People don't get that, like it's money to investigate these
things to happen.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Okay, it's it's not even it's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
But I so so funny story is, and I want
to share this with people who are driven and inspired
by acting or inspired to be producers, musicians, whatever it is.
That's the hardest game in this game, in this place,
n b A is the hardest thing in the in
the game. But like TV, film, comedy, you know, uh, music,
(11:24):
anything in that space is just so hard and you
and you and you work so hard. So I had
one of those moments in my life that gave me
we call it an injection of dope, you know what
I mean, Like it gave you that that dope of
Meine feel like, Okay, I'm I can still do this.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
So I get to.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Can for the first time and where Gordon's like taking
me around and we're going to like, you know, going
to see Brett Ratner. We're going to dinners with you
know what, what's his face? Uh, I'm facing on as
I hate when I do this, Jordan Belfort. We're going
to dinners. Everything's awesome and I'm like, this is fucking cool.
(12:06):
We're fucking you know, we're here, We're there, you know,
like like I was like, everybody from La is here.
Speaker 4 (12:10):

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Then he's like, Yo, we're going to rick Yowan's birthday party,
which it was just being Gordon. We had to go
home change, get dressed for this party. It's on this
yacht and it was like two hundred and fifty foot yacht.
I was just like, what the fuck am I looking at?
This is insane. I never seen nothing like this in
my life. And I've been in my business. Partner has
a one hundred and ten foot you know, I've seen it,
(12:33):
but not like this magnitude of a vessel. I mean,
I was like, what am I going on? We go
up the ramp. The first person I see is screaming
my name.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
It's Danny a look right, so what the you're doing it?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And he's standing next to DiCaprio, right next to DiCaprio,
and he's saying, what the fuck you're doing here?

I was just talking about you to jemming me. I
want to fucking get you in this fucking movie. I'm like,
what's going on? I'm like, what the fuck, are you

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Like that feeling was cool and great and gratifying, the
feeling of like, holy shit, like.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Someone wants you, and right you're not. You're not because
this movie business is like give me a chance.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
It's fucking disgusting.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
But you're with the best actor of all time, one
of the top fucking three. You're next to him and
you're talking to me. I'm like, what the Like, I
was just a little it felt like okay, I belong here,
you know what I mean, Like, okay, I'm not doing
this as a fucking hobby. And then he was just
like yeah, it's this fucking movie. And we just started talking.
(13:39):
And then he was like the Goat's downstairs.
Speaker 4 (13:42):

I'm like, what the fucking am I down here? You're

a fucking New Yorker. There's not one fucking bone in
me that's anywhere else. I am a diehard New York
fucking guy.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
So when you're talking Goodfellas or Raging Bull or fucking
anything that's New York. I'm especially Cassine.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I mean, as I love Casino, but but I am
obsessed with it because he was shot in my whole neighborhood,
all over Jamaica Avenue, all over my neighborhood. It's it's
it's it's a masterpiece. There's nothing that will touch it.
God bless you, Marty for making the best movie of
all time. Nobody can touch it. And people will like, yeah,
well you know Godfather, Yeah, no, god Godfather is amazing.
(14:32):
I love it because it's a it's a it's a
beautiful family story.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
But Goodfellas is what I know. That's the fucking.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
People I grew up around streets I grew up on
Like that, to me is a masterpiece. So when you
got that and the best fucking and Danny A is
fucking doing fucking awesome, I mean, he's just I mean,
the guy is fucking he just keeps fucking pumping them
out and they're getting fucking better and better. I'm fucking
like so happy for him, you know what I mean,
Like because he's a man and.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Of of uh.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Of never giving up technic, I'm fucking gonna keep doing it.
I'm gonna keep doing it. I want to make my
fucking good fellas. I want to make my fucking mean streets.
You know, whatever the case is. Whatever I'm just saying,
like so to me, that was like Wow, that was
the moment. And you won't you leave Cannon some high,
you know what I mean, because you get flooded with
a lot of great things that make you. It's like
(15:26):
a recharge in the year to go there, make moves,
do what you gotta do. I got nine movies being
sold there now, one of them I directed, I mean,
and I mean, I'm in one with fucking Tommy Lee Jones,
now you know, being sold there one with me and
Jeremy Piven like like and then you know all the
other ones. Me and I'm on the Santhe's still waiting
for that movie to come out. It's called oh whatever.
(15:48):
It's all great stuff. But I don't go there for cloud.
I don't go there for to be an imposter.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Be seen, right, I don't go there like as an influencer,
to be seen, That's what I mean. Like it's you're
going there for real deal, Like I want my story
to be heard.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yes, I have things there that are real. Mob Cops
is probably still being sold in certain territories. So I
went there last year and I'm on FaceTime with Danny
and me and Ali where.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
We Love You, Me and and my boy Eli.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
My boy Eli came with us, and we went to
see the screening for the buyers, and it was really
I was like I had purpose.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Like the next day is Saturday, I'm there and.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
My movie's being screened and this, uh whatever in the
theater for the buyers, even though it's not like a
full on the red carpet and all the glamour and
all that great shit of being in the competition, which
I would hope one day I'm in something that's a
part of that, and I'm working for that, you know.
And I'm not delusional, but at least I'm in the
in the My uncle Joe, he's like my uncle, but
(16:52):
he's my father.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
He's my father's best friend. My father just passed away.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I'm so sorry to hear is like my father.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
They raised me with my dad.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Joe says, if you're not in the fucking mix of nuts,
how are you gonna get picked out?
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Because people call it networking, and I hate that word.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I hate that work, Like I get disgusted when I
hear networking because you got an agenda.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Oh, I gotta go there because this one's gonna be there.
That one's gonna be just disgusting. So to all the.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
People who want to ask me, how do you do this?
You gotta be genuine, You gotta do it right. You
gotta be a fucking good person and don't have an
agenda going somewhere because people sniff that straight out. They
sniff it out. Bring shit to the table. He's someone
of quality that brings things to the table. Not you're
not sitting there looking for somebody to give you a
fucking roll or hand you something because you're dead on
(17:43):
a rival. So he always says, if you know, like
you got to invest in yourself. If you're not in
the you know, if you're not in the mix of nuts,
you're not you're not in the begg of nuts, how
are you gonna get picked out? And it's a good
analogy if he's got the personality. But you know, that's
one of them. And I just wanted to shout out, Joe,
I love you.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It was my dad's best friend and my dad just
passed aways ago.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
He rests in peace.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I'm so sorry to hear that shout out to your
dad because he raised a great son. I'm sure he's
looking down on you, proud of you, you know. Which
it's hard losing someone. I lost my cousin, my first cousin.
She was like a sister.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's hard.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
It's hard to lose people. But what happens is the
story gets greater, you know. Unfortunately with the pain, you
can come like something greater even for you in the future,
for you know, a movie about your dad, or maybe
one day something dedicated to you and your.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Dad, you know what I mean. I always love those
kind of movies, you know, Like I.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Wrote a pilot's well, how you Doing? It's about my
dad and his cat.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Oh that's good, that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Yeah, it's a comedy like three Cam I wrote it.
It's how You Doing?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And if you ever need a female part, I'm your's
sing voute.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
It's in New York.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
It's like Queens of It's like King of Queens meets
Like everyone loves Raymond, but like I love that Amrican Italian.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Culture because I'm Puerto Rican too.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
My father's my father's from Napolin, my mother's from Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Oh, that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Oh and my mother was killed in Puerto Rico two
and o'clock crash, so that's not.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Going yeam Lorenzo, you've been through it.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
See, most people don't get Also, it's like you have
this luck, thank God, blessings, but sometimes from those blessings,
people go.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Through a lot of shit to get there. Like people
don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
They could look at it and be like, he's handsome, he's
a great actor, he's smart, he's all these things.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
He has it all together.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
He has a beautiful girlfriend, he has money, whatever they
want to think, and then they don't realize, Wow, there's
also come a lot of heartache and like pain and
like shit, you know that you have to overcome and
then to get to the good stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You know, that's crazy. This is like a real it's
another story.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah that was twenty years ago, in two thousand and four.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
That was the worst.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
So how did you get through like all this trauma away?
How did you not make it an excuse? Because most
people make that an excuse, right, Like I'm not going
to be famous actor because this and this happened to me,
or I can't get into an audition and look at
you you're even like making your own movies, even though
there's other people who want to work with you.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You're never like relying or waiting.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
What do you do? Like what's the process for you?
Like how do you get up every day? And you're like,
I'm not gonna let this be my story.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
I just do it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I don't stop. I'm out of my mind. I think
that Kevin Hart said it best. He said something like,
you know what the hardest thing to do is to
put your role into something every day and wake up
doing that. You're still in that same spot every day
until you kind of inch out of it, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
And that's what I.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Look at, you know, because I was in a band
and I toured the world and I did all that
for so long, and that's why I'm in the music
business still.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
But like I you know, that was a long journey
for me too.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You know, everything takes ten years, fifteen years, and people
the people that get it fast, so lucky, God bless them.
But I don't know if you know that's my journey.
My journey has been my journey. And you know, I
just want to be doing awesome movies being do what
I do and and and be awesome at doing it
and working with my you know, Peers number one, and
(21:17):
then working with the Legends, and I mean, shit, I
got to work with Bruce Willis, I got to work
with you I'm in some of his last movies ever.
And I got to work with Tommy Lee Jones, you know,
I mean that guy's want an oscar, you know, so
you know, every every and then obviously David Arquette, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yeah, I was going to ask, how is how is
it working with David ArKade? I met him in person.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
He's just a great guy. He's awesome, great guy.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
He's so humble and just cool. He loves wrestling, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
He knows that I was fucking wrestling at some point,
trying to get into the ww tryouts and things of
that nature. And uh, he's just a normal guy, man,
And I love that about him. He's so cool and
very you know, he's awesome at what he does. And
he played a really good New Yorker and he did it.
He did it really well in the in the in
the movie as the cop. And yeah, I have some
(22:10):
great scenes with him. You know, he's you know, throwing
me in trunks and ship, you know, because they got
me all tied up.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Yeah. I don't ever watched a movie, but I want
to give yeah hints, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
You had ever weird like when you're like love an actor,
for example, you respect an actor so.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Much, and then you guys are getting along and then
you have.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
To have scenes where you're opposite or is that does
that ever get weird for you?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Or just that's that's the name of the game.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We all know.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
We all know as actors, you have to play that part,
you know, when he's throwing you.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I'm not going to give it away, but.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I was already kind of I think that I was
already kind of like a hanging with David, like coming
to set before I started shooting.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Met him before that.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I think I met him a little bit before doing
a table I don't know when I met him. Maybe
it was a table read, maybe it wasn't a table read,
but I know that I was already comfortable enough to
not feel like like shy or or or something, and
and I just felt like he was you know, like
you know, we're cuf from the same cloth in so
many ways that it's not like, you know, I gotta
(23:11):
be uh walking on eggshells. But working with Tommy Lee
Jones was a different story.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, how was that?
Speaker 4 (23:19):
How is he's he's exactly like the Marshall.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, in in in the US Marshal or you know,
what's the more we called them spacing on the name.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
I'm spacing on a lot of things today.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
He's very serious, like a very serious as he is.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yes, and in the Marshall? Was that what he plays
the Marshal in? What the hell?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You know what you're talking about? I can even right away?
Speaker 4 (23:41):
It was amazing Harrison Ford.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Yeah, I know the fugitive of course, Yes, he's amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Very similar to that guy.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But he's but he's actually, you know, I never really
when we were shooting, I was, you know, like there
was a lot of you know, things that people were
saying that needed to be a certain way and protocol
on set. So I just stayed to myself and when
it was time to block scenes with him, you know,
I didn't introduce myself. I was just like, let's go
(24:12):
whatever you wanted, like whatever what time it is. And
he I think he liked it because he started like
getting the sides and he was like, come on, Lorenzo,
is your name. He's like, come on, He's like, card
this word out. He's like, keep the pace going, let's
just get And I was like, yo, he's fucking directing me.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
He's he's teaching me. I think this is so cool.
And I just stayed.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I was like, yes, sir, no problem, no problem, sir.
But yes, I flew in literally in Georgia.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
In the disgusting ninety five degree heat.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I flew in and immediately was right to wardrobe, right to.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Shooting, and it was it was.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It was an awesome feeling, but it was also intense
in so many ways. But yeah, I shout out to Tommy.
He's he's a he's a he's a. I mean, he's
a savage.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's really cool to get to work.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I think that's like the success Like for me when
I hear a friend or a colleague or myself, when
you're acting alongside great actors, that in itself already is
success because it's so hard to already get into a
movie or a show, like you said, or create something,
and then you're creating it with magical, talented people that
have been around for so long and are respected.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
That's what like, Wow, I'm getting.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
More and more because I was going to ask you,
like the audience, we're living a generation with social media
now right, young influencers. People are making it by just
doing you could call it silly videos, you could call
it not cool videos, whatever, but people getting a little
bit upset about the hierarchy where a social media influencer
will make it as a big actor, whereas an actor
who's really like working on the craft for so long,
(25:46):
you know, might not get the right opportunities. Or they
say like you have to be young and hot. I mean,
do you believe in all these stereotypes? Do you believe
they you have to be a certain way to make
it in Hollywood? Or for me, I love the way
you and Danny a are where it's like you create
your own shit.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
It could happen.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
You don't care, Like I remember one time he said
to me, Danny, he was like, you can't care what
people think, Like you could be Julia Roberts and you're
gonna have haters, So what are you gonna do. You're
not gonna please everyone. You might as well just do
what you know. You can't wait on everybody to pick
you either, like you know what I mean? And that
was the greatest advice I got because I'm like, holy shit,
you know, you work with the people that want to
work with you and the people who don't. You're right,
(26:23):
like you might want to work with them for your
whole life. They might reject you, but yeah, I want
to get your opinion on it, because you're such an
entrepreneur and I respect that about you. You're such a
hustler and you don't I see you. Also, we've hung
out at events, like you don't kiss people's ass. You're
very authentic to yourself, and I'm I like that. I
don't want to have to be a certain way to
get a part, you know.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
What I mean, my my take, my take on sor
right for the rant?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Oh no, I mean I can respond, you know, like
to what you got, you know, like, so to touch
on two of those things, like I don't think that
social media influences become big actors.
Speaker 9 (27:00):
It.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I haven't seen one of them yet become someone that's
respected as an actor and not just thrown into a
movie because they have a million followers, right, So that's
one thing. So I don't know if they be in
a social media star money that way makes you hungry
enough to get behind the camera and really practice the
(27:23):
craft and go behind you know, like go to classes
and start you know, working with acting coaches and learning
how to be an actor instead of being silly on
IG which is great.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Everybody thinks that I should have been an IG guy. Funny.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I'm funny. I don't care about that, Like, that's not
important to me. I don't care about making money that way.
I'm not driven by that. I'm driven about being an
artist and being able to deliver what is great from
the writing and what I can sell with my eyes.
So like when it comes to like I you know,
like everybody's told me, you got to do this, you
(27:58):
got to do that, you should become you be so
funny if you did this, And I'm not passionate about
it because you know, yeah, I'm I got some some
like words of wisdom moments once you know, every once
in a while on my Instagram and things of that nature.
But oh, I'm funny, but I'm not. I'm not trying
to be that guy. I want to be recognized for
(28:18):
being real. I'm in this for the long haul, you know.
Like there's a lot of guys and I don't want
to say names on on social media and they take
the Italian culture and they make it look like, they
make it horrible, they make they make us look terrible,
and that's I don't care what they think. But I
just think that it's just come on like like like
(28:38):
like that's not how we all talk, you know. But
that's fine, that's they make their money. I'm cool with it.
I think it's it's it's it's it's.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Eyeballs on the culture.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
But it doesn't it doesn't represent who we are, even
though we know that's how we talk, we're in the neighborhood,
but not to the extent how they, you know, amplify
it and make it over over, they go over the top.
So some of those influences, I don't think that they
have passion or they want to be in movies and
they're like, yeah, you know, I got a million follows,
you should put me in a movie. Yeah, put me
(29:09):
in a movie. And then when they're like, yeah, well
you're gonna make three hundred bucks, and they're like, oh,
they don't understand because you know what, you're not nobody
in the movie game.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
See, you're gonna go through what every actor had to
go through to get to where they are when they're
actually valuable in some kind of way. So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I don't think that it's it's the worst way to
be positioned. But if one of those guys who were
doing their funny skits and they're just on social media
all day and all this stuff and whatever, if they
were taking acting classes and taking that seriously and then
really auditioning for roles and completely compartmentalizing the two. I'm
(29:50):
famous for this little window of seven hundred thousand people here,
but I want to take this serious and compartmentalize. I
think that they would do way better because now they
have that platform to work with. This is my eyeballs.
But if you take me serious, you got I haven't
seen not one. I don't care how hot they are
girls you know, from different you know what, any culture
(30:14):
you know, I don't see. You know, they have to
be a singer, or they have to be something that
has art you know that's not artists when they're just
being like goofy on on Instagram. I could do that.
If I did that, I would have I would have
had a million followers a long time ago. Like I
could be a moron all day.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Had it in me.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
They probably taken me from doing it ten years ago,
just organically doing it. They probably take it because I
hear a lot of my words out thereat older than
all these guys, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
So yeah, because I.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Think our culture, even with comedy, it's become like obsessed
with physicality. Like I don't remember the world of Hollywood
and I've been in the game for a long time.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Maybe I haven't made it the way I want to,
but just doing.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Different works of art, and I don't remember it being
that this superficial where it's literally like, oh, you don't
have a certain fouling and you're not that hot, you
can't go on stage and make people laugh. It's like, well,
I come from Rodney Dangerfield and like Robin, like those
people weren't that wasn't about being hot Yeames.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah, Queens, it's like you what's his name?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Oh, my god?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
From that Queen show with the two what's his name?
Also now I'm blanking out, he's.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Kevin Kevin Kevin James, Yes, Kevin.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
James, like you remember those are like the greats, like
you don't remember. So I don't know if you felt
this way too with Hollywood. In general like that it's
become so youth obsessed and focused. To me, when you
tell a story, you can tell a story in any way, really,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Agent Fiel didn't get on Ed Sullivan's show until he
was like forty seven years old.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Really wow, I didn't even know that it took him.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Fabruar.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That's inspiring.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
This story is insane. He lived on Austin Street.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
By by by his ball by my old like up
the block from left Fixe leftis Boulevard on Jamaica.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
He lived right there above the ballot so great.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I loved him so much.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I remember watching him and being like, oh, there's not
really are like, there is no ster like you can
become who you are.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
What I love.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
What we loved about him, I think was the authenticity,
you know what I mean. So it's like, yeah, I
think you're right. I think you have to be authentic
to who you are to make it. It's not about like
making it on social media or it's like being just
you and like having people love you for.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
The roles you do and the art you you create.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah, that's the that's the that's the goal.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I mean, you know, mob cops going back to Mob
Cops if it's you know, I'm hoping and I feel
like there's a lot of buzz behind it that that
the movie will start, you know, be like a like
a nice independent underground you know, classic, you know that
that that people that it'll it'll get a lot of eyeballs,
and that will position all the actors that have been
(32:47):
doing it forever. Jeremy, he's been doing it forever. Jeremy No, I,
you know, he deserves his shot. Joey deserves it. Everybody
deserves this shot, you know, and and and and and
Danny did a great job acting and any places the
lead detectives. Yeah, everybody deserves their shot because they work
on it.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
And I just don't know if being an influencer X,
you know, X.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Expedites the process because of just what you do, unless
you are creative and actually going to make your own
show where you're going to take the money you make
it from being an influencer and shoot your own comedy,
putting yourself into a in a position.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
Of of you know, you know, you have distribution everywhere
you can go and put yourself, you know, put yourself
over making a movie about yourself, shooting a movie, getting
a team for two.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Fifty three hundred thousand dollars, and then you have all
the eyeballs that are gonna want to see it because
of you, and then they can go viral from there.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
You know, that's that's a way an influencer could do it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
But I just don't know if that's what they're you know,
willing to sacrifice, because it's a lot of sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
All I did was I love that you say that
is it is. It's a lot of sex.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
It's a lot of being broke a lot of times
without telling people out loud. It's a lot of embarrassing, embarrassing,
prideful moments that you really can't really talk I feel
from my experience you just don't talk about.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
But you do and you work it right, and yeah,
that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
You don't give up because it always gets figured out.
If you are working hard and you feel like you're
working hard making.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
No money, when there is no money, you're still working
hard and you're.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Underwater somewhere out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Just boom, you get covered and you're good for another
two months and you're like, WHOA, yeah, I got.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
So many bills. I got two places, you know, what
I don't stop hustling. You know, acting is slow. Great.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I'm watching, you know, like on my downtime and watching
master classes or whatever. I'm not like, I'm not an audition,
but I'm building other companies. I'm doing stuff with my
with my label, with my artists. I'm managing them. I'm
getting them placements and I'm getting them on the radio.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
I'm putting that record.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, I'm always working because you know, if I just
sat in a classroom and worked, I wouldn't be able
to pay my bills. And real life I live, and
you know, I got two nice places in the life
I live. I don't want to not live that life
(35:20):
because I gotta, because I'm going to be broke and
sit in a classroom or sitting and work at a
bar or no. So I go and hustle everything that
I want. I do whatever the fuck I want when
I want. Nobody tells me what to do. And that's
what took me ten years or twelve years being in
(35:41):
LA to really overcome, was get myself to a place
where nobody tells me what to do. I do whatever
the fuck I want. I go where I want, I
pay my bills, I get them done. No matter how
hard it gets, I always do it and I'm able
to do whatever I want at any given time.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
And that's true freedom though, that is that's that's what
our audience should strive to want to be, is like
self sufficient with whatever you do, you know, in whatever.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yes, that's successful. Like that's being successful because you're healthy,
you're out there working, you're making moves, you're always figuring
it out. Yeah, it gets stressful. Nothing is easy. But
you know what, what's worse than working a day job
and wishing that you could take off to go do
an audition, or wishing you can go take off to
go produce something, or wishing you could take off to
(36:30):
go to can and make moves, or you know, or
wishing to be in the mix at all.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Like, yeah, I think that it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
You know, what's your tip for actors, up and coming
actors or actors that are established already on how to
deal with rejection movies they really want they might not
get an oscar, they might not never get.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
You know, how do you deal with rejection in this business?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
You know, knowing that you get rejected every day, it's
a part of the process, you know, like you know,
for every fifteen o's, you might get one yes.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
That one yes will lead to other things.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Right, That's no, that's really great advice. Like you have
to just accept it.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
I think it's accepting reality and not dwelling on oh
my god, this person doesn't want me or this or
taking it personal.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Right, it's not about taking it personal.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Is there any role that happened to you where you
were like I really wanted that role and it just
you know, they said, okay, it's not a fit for you,
but they thought of you for something else.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
There was a well Tulsa King was I was up
for two episodes.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
And then but I didn't you know, I got pinned
and I was like it was looking really good and
I didn't get it. It went through, it fell through,
and you know, obviously I remember slide I mentioned, and.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
You know, you know, I'm gonna put some good words
in there, and you know what, you know, I need
I need the info.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
And I remember that that was a really amazing moment
in my in my life that you know, gave me
another shot of dope.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, I could see you and Sevesteria and audience together.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of great you know,
moments like that that that do get you know, like
that do hurt when they don't happen, but you know
it's it's a part of the process.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
Again. You're in the you're in the mix of nuts.
You're in the bag of nuts getting picked.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
You know it might not work that that day, but
you know three years later it might be something two
years later.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
You just never know.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
I love it Uncle Joey's advice. We need to stick
to that. We're gonna wrap up really soon. I have
a couple more questions from the audience. Uh, talk to
us a little bit about producing now. So you come
from you're producing other projects. You can talk to us
and share us, you know, and we'd love for you
to share us with us some of the projects you're producing.
What from a producing standpoint and a writer standpoint? What
do you usually look for when you're making movies, even
(39:01):
with actors, but storylines like what inspires you.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
I like a lot of thrillers.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I like a lot of h I would love to
do a war movie, like an old nineteen forties, you know,
like a World War two flick.

get off the ground and starring one of those. And
there's a lot it's quite night of a callags. It's
like the Warriors means lost boys, so it's like vampire
street gangs.
Speaker 1 (40:08):

Speaker 2 (40:09):

I think life experience does experience. You know, my experience
will teach you.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
More than experience will teach you better than anybody, you know,
especially you know life experience every day.
Speaker 4 (41:20):

year olds, even if they're.

can see the mistakes that they do, you know, and
you can see a lot of the things that are
you know, you know wrong, and and but the things
that you say mistakes you made, and the same things
that you know, you know, things like that, and it
gets scary, you know what I mean, because you know,

But yeah, like, no, you've been amazing. Thank you. I
really appreciate everything that you've done for us. Oh, the
audience wants to know dating tips.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
We always ask you can feel comfortable not but like
in this industry, I guess, how important is it to
be with somebody that supports your career or like, do
you feel you can be with somebody that like not
necessarily agrees with everything you do? But like, I guess,
what's one tip to have like a healthy relationship.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
I think it's you would want to probably date someone
opposite your your career business, but supports your business.
Speaker 4 (46:06):
Supports your career one trillion percent is behind you. I
think being kind of like, uh, you know, two actors
together is rough.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
I don't think that that is a is a a
good recipe, you know, but it works or it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (46:26):
You know, it could be it could be really bad.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
And again I think that there's uh, you know, there's
like really good I guess it's like really good case studies.
You know, like you don't want, you know, like to
be with someone that's in the same business because then
I think it happened to Sinatra, you know, like it
happened with him and Judy what was her name, Judy
(46:56):
Garland or the other one that he was with, and
that you know that that's talking the sixties, fifties, sixties,
you know, like think about things like this now is
like you know, social media and you know, like who's
on top and who's better and you know, like you know,
it's one happy with the other. I mean they show
it on the show Barry. They show it like when
(47:18):
he starts getting you know in movies, and he's just
going right for the read too, for the director. You
can see his girlfriend's like, oh, you know, I've been
doing this twenty years. It's like, bro, it's like you're
not happy. I suggest don't date an actress or an
actor if you're an actress or an actor, because it's
it's it's it's it's not what I suggest. I don't
(47:39):
think that it's a good recipe. I don't think it's
a good method. But if it works, it's God bless
you know. But I don't know what the right way
to do it. But my dating tips to me is like,
you know, find somebody that supports you and that you
can have fun every single day with laughing at every
single thing you guys talk about and the zero points
(48:00):
zero toxicity, zero zero points, zero arguments.
Speaker 4 (48:02):
And I think that that's a recipe of a great relationship.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
I love that Lorenzo Antonucci, he's coming out with a
dating book soon.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
Watch Out, Watch Out This Empire.
