We have Morris Chestnut, he's.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Here, and we have Coronaldi. Did I say your name right?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I gotta start like this, Emma, does Charlomagne look anything
like Marris?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
To talk reasonable?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I want to start there because he's been talking so
much he thinks he's more reasonable.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Doubt after that, and then I.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Does he look anything? I knew this was going to
come up. I was prepared for this.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
I've heard your eyes a little bit.
Speaker 7 (00:49):
Now here's the couple.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
One eye, couple, both.
Speaker 8 (00:51):
Eyes, both beautiful, chocolate bald headed men.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
I see that resemblance.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
You see a resemblance, and that what I just think?
Speaker 9 (01:01):
Okay, in the factory model said.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Now does it bother you when when this this brother
over here that looks nothing like you claims that he's.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You for his birthday, he posts pictures of you.
Speaker 9 (01:20):
I'm telling you, somebody came to me on the street.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I said, no, I wasn't on the street. You're right.
Speaker 9 (01:26):
I was at a hotel, was at the valet and
one of the values he said, that's what he said.
He said armagne, he said, he said charlete mane. I
don't know if he was trolling.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Glasses. I know he didn't have glasses. But it did happen.
It did happen. Did Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Didn't.
Speaker 10 (01:47):
That isn't the way you thought you got fantastic? What
what roles excite you nowadays? Mars, You've been in the.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Game so long, you know what this role did excite me?
It really did.
Speaker 9 (02:02):
You know the one thing I love. First of all,
she's incredible. I mean she's incredible at what she does.
Incredible actress, I mean she's incredible. But the whole production,
so the production starts, you know, with Onyx Collective. We
have you know, black female executives there, and then of
course Carrie Washington's.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
Company is producing Simpson Street, Simphion.
Speaker 9 (02:23):
Streets producing it top notes there Rama Mohammad, black female showrunner.
All the scripts were on time before I'd never gotten
scripts on a show like that this early.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I would get a script were like we was.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
We would be on the second day of an episode
and get a script for the next episode that normally
never happens, so everything was top and then working with
her in the cast. This role did excite me.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Now for people that don't know what is reasonable doubt about,
because on season two, so if they don't know what
is it about, break it down.
Speaker 8 (02:54):
You know, it's about this high powered, you know, black
female attorney, you know, who was about her business. You know,
she handles all of her business when she's when she's
in the office, when she's in court, you know, but
she's trying to juggle it. You know, she's a mother,
she's a wife, and sometimes you know, some of the.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Balls drop out of the air, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (03:11):
She she fails at times, and she makes questionable decisions,
makes mistakes at times, you know, but it's about this woman.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
It's about this marriage, this black marriage.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
You know.
Speaker 8 (03:21):
We get to see them trying to figure it out.
We get to see them making mistakes, We get to
see them, you know, really living their life in this
way that we don't often get to see on television.
Along with the courtroom drama of it all, you know,
we get to see her really in her element. Because
the show is loosely based on Sean Holly.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Yeah, she's a.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
Very high powered defense attorney in LA, you know, and
so we have all of those elements. It's a good
blend of the courtroom drama with the character driven kind
of piece.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
You sadn't have that business in court? Is that the business?
Speaker 8 (03:54):
I mean? She does what she got to anywhere, anywhere
and everywhere.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Did you see what Sean at all?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Oh yeah, before we start a filming, we you know,
she invited me to her home and you know, we
sat and we talked for hours. You know, I got
to really pick her brain about how she chooses the
cases that she decides to take on, because that's the thing,
you know, we really I think nailed that in the show,
with the kinds of cases that Jack chooses to accept
can sometimes cause issue with her friends or her family.
(04:23):
You know, why are you not defending black women? Why
did you choose to defend this man? And that's what
Sean is about, you know, and that's something that I
admired and wanted to know a little bit more about
what goes into her selecting the kind of cases that
she chooses to represent.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
Is it hard to leave your character on set.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Is it hard?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
No?
Speaker 8 (04:41):
No, I've learned how to just make the separation. I've
learned how to make the separation, and especially with someone
like Jack's, you know, she has a lot going on,
you know, so I'm thankful to just leave that there
and go home to normalcy.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
You know.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
I wanted to ask actors, like, when you have to
play a traumatic scene, right, like when Ricky gets killed
in Boys and the being that they played that so
much on TV?
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Does that trigger you when you see it?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Like?
Speaker 9 (05:04):
Do you feel that doesn't trigger me? One thing that
did trigger me when I did The First Best Man.
It was the first time that I had to be
such an emotional space. When I did the wedding scene.
I was crying and I had to be in an
emotional space for so long. That triggered me for just
even thinking about it for at least at least five
to seven years.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
What about when You'll did the TV.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
Show See I See, I had already you know, as
an actor, I had grown and I kind of let
some stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
You know.
Speaker 9 (05:32):
It's you know, as actors, you know, we use our
trauma and our pain to get there. So I you know,
I kind of worked, you know, on that, but it
triggered me for a long time on the first Best
Man because you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Ever get tired of it?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Because Boys of the Hood was so long ago.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Did you ever realize how impactful that was going to
be when you did when you shot it?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
I had no clue because when I when I, I
mean I was a lead in the movie that nobody
knew who I was, and ione knew who Cuba was.
You know, people knew who Ice Cube was. Angela wasn't Angela,
Nia wasn't Nia. I mean, everybody was, you know, just
popping off. So I didn't think it was gonna be
that big.
Speaker 10 (06:10):
Now, that's interesting what you said about the Best Man
because to being a role when the TV show came
where in that iteration of it, you know your wife
was deceased. Yes, you had to tap into that emotion
of being a man who lost their wife.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
How did you leave that at home?
Speaker 9 (06:26):
Well, so it's uh, leave that on the set round Yeah, yeah,
so it's okay. So so that was the first Best
Man I had that So the second Best Man was
tough because she was battling cancer and I had a
lot of emotional scenes then, So I've just learned to
manage kind of those emotions. I've learned to deal with
(06:47):
some of that trauma in a different way now. And
actually it's actually acting is pretty much therapeutic because you're
able to release certain things.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
And so over the years, that's that's what's happened.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Were you a fan of Reasonable about season one?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Because I was because I literally I was on it.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
I was playing a Saturday basketball game and one of
one of the guys there he was like, oh, he said,
we normally after we play, he's you know, we talk
about stupid stuff, do stuff in the gym or whatever.
And then he just said, hey, you guys seen the
show Reasonable Doubt. And I knew about the show because
I knew Elie was on it.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I knew Ami.
Speaker 9 (07:18):
I hadn't seen it yet. He was like, man, it
was just so odd to hear him say that on
the court. You know what I'm saying, And so he said,
you got to check it out, and so yeah, So
before I did the show, I was definitely fan because
I watched it because he told me to.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
And what was harder for you?
Speaker 11 (07:31):
Because Jackson is different season one versus season two, what
was the harder draw for you as an actress, like
pulling from the experiences.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Was it harder for season one or harder for season
two for you?
Speaker 8 (07:41):
I think I would definitely say season two, just because
of you know, she's showing a lot more vulnerability as
a result of what happened in season one. Yes, you know,
so that just it required, just like Morris was saying,
you know, I got to pull from some of those places,
you know, that kind of thing. So it was it
was more of a challenge in that way. You know,
I had to decide to open myself up.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
A lot of times when you see people in the
soap opera world, they never leave the soap proper world.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
But you did so cool.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So break down the soap proper world and what got
you in the soap oroper I will first I want
to know how you got into acting. Because you're a
military child. Usually that means you're traveling all over the place,
your parents are heavy into education. What got you into
acting From.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
The start, It was something that I always loved. I
always loved, but I didn't know that it could be
a choice to be a career, you know, And for
a long time it was just fun, just a hobby,
and I thought that I had it planned out.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
I was going to go to law school. I was
going to be a lawyer.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
My father wanted me to go to the military, but
I said, Okay, I think I'm going to be a lawyer.
But in high school I had a girlfriend who also
wanted to be a lawyer, and we had our whole plan.
It was going to be Cornaldi and Sweety incorporated, you know.
But I realized, thankfully before you know, graduation, Okay, no,
I don't really want to be a lawyer. I'm not
trying to go to law school like she was taking
it serious and fill out these essays.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I'm like, am I doing all that?
Speaker 7 (09:01):
A lawyer?
Speaker 8 (09:01):
Now? She's a lawyer now, So we we went in
the right path. I realized, No, I think I just
I like the drama, like the suits and you know,
all of that in the courtroom. And so that's the
moment when I knew, and I kind of started pursuing
it at that point. And this was in I graduated
high school in Jersey. My last two years were out
there in Kansas that was all over the place, and
then went back to Jersey and really started studying and
(09:24):
back and forth up here to New York, all my
off off off Broadway classes and all of that, and
then that was it.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
That was it.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
And my first role was that that role in Young
and Arrest, and that was because that was my mom's show.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
And she said to her, you know, that was me
making it.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
She says, you got to get him young and directed
run the Restless until Victor I said hi.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
And so the bittersweet.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Moment about that for me is because my mom passed
before that happened, before she got to see and so
as soon as I got on the set, I said, Victor,
I just got to tell you.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
You know, my mom just loves you so.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
And that was a small that was really small role,
and I think that's how I the reason why didn't
get caught up in it and staying there because it
was a small role, but it was truly one of
the most meaningful ones to me to this day because
of that.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Wow, that's so alarming.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Your first your first scene Mars is a sex scene.
Speaker 10 (10:17):
Do you ever have to tell these studios not to
not to objectify you, because we.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
Heard MEPhI Man once say he always, you know, pushed
back against his sex symbol status.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
Do you ever have to tell these studios like, look,
you know, I know I'm Maris Chestnut.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You can't be a stunt double bro.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
We would know the difference.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Or do you ever feel like it being objectified maybe
is a better question.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I don't see that that way. You know.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
It's almost like because people sometimes they ask me, they say,
do you get mad when people call you Ricky all
the time?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
When people see me on the street.
Speaker 9 (10:47):
And honestly, the one thing about me is that I
have never ever forgotten where I come from, right, and
and when I was an actor, just starting out, trying
to get an agent, just trying to get a part,
just say oh just please, somebody cast me.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I just want to be seen. I want to be
known so I can get more work.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
And so it just so happens that that role that
I was, that I was dying to get to be
able to get more work, was a role that it was.
It was a it was a blessing that it's still
still relevant and people still refer to it to this
very day. So now just because people say Ricky almost
every day, I'm not going to turn around and say,
(11:25):
oh man, I hate when people call me Ricky because
I was, so I would desire it so much. So
to your question about you know, studios, I don't think
they objectify me. I think that I've been in the
business a long time and the younger Morris would not
have imagined that he would be here to this very
(11:45):
single day after all these years. So I'm just I'm
I'm just blessed, and I'm very appreciative of the fact
that they still want to cast me, because in our industry,
you know, no one really retires from our industry.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Our industry retires us.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
The phone stops ringing, So as long as the phone
is still ringing, I'm gonna keep picking up.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
And I appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
But it's one thing to be a great actor what
you are, but it's another to be considered a heart drop.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Right, It's only like a kind.
Speaker 10 (12:11):
Of like it's like Denzel Mars, who else pitching that
lane historically?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Mm hmmm?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Who else? Michael B.
Speaker 11 (12:23):
Jordan's Michael, Yeah, he was kind of say from Queen Sugar,
dark skinned Queen Sugar.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Is the he's.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
There where we're at right now.
Speaker 11 (12:39):
But I think, honestly, you did it's y'all level of
it's like maybe two or three that are to go
to mainly you though, like you get, you do get
a lot of the posts and stuff online. A lot
of them comes from Charlemage's Instagram, I think to the
answer to.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
That question is from me, I don't. I don't focus
on it because you know, it's it's this is the
type of industry. There's you know, there's there's there's gonna
be somebody else tomorrow, there's gonna be somebody else the
next day.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
So I just focused. Honestly.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
I just try to focus on doing the best job
I can as an actor with these jobs, and if
that comes with it, I'm appreciative of it. If that's
what people say, I'm appreciative of that. But I don't
I don't focus on that. I just have to focus
on the work because that's going to keep me here
longer than being a You know, if people consider sexy
one not.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
The real more is shusting up was the sexiest man
alive in twenty fifteen. The reason I got to say
that because sometimes he puts his face there and I've.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Never done that.
Speaker 10 (13:34):
But if you wanted to call him the sexiest man alive,
that's fine.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
If you want to use me to.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Do that I've never done that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I was going to ask, how does your wife deal
with it all, you know, with women hollering when you're
allowed and the comments, how does she how does she
handle it?
Speaker 9 (13:55):
Well, I mean, my wife is a star in our
family for sure. I mean she's the one that uh,
I mean, she's a star in the family and she
does it.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
And I'm a homebody, I'm home all the time.
Speaker 9 (14:05):
And honestly, the older I've gotten, you know, I mean,
she's she's just not even. She's not stressed by it.
She's not even. She's just not she's not really interested
in the industry. She's it's like we've been together a
long long time and so you know, she knows what
it is. You know, I'm not going nowhere, hopefully she's
not going anywhere. But uh, it's she's she's cool with it.
(14:27):
What about your kids, that's a that's an interesting question.
We've never really had the conversation about it. My son
has made has made comments about it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Does he have jokes?
Speaker 9 (14:37):
No, No, he doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't, he doesn't
have jokes. He doesn't have jokes about it. Well, so
that's good question we have. We have my son, and
my son's uh, twenty six years old right now, you know,
he just turned twenty seven, and we just basically have
(14:57):
a lot of father son conversations, and my conversations are
more gears towards preparing him for life and and and
trying to get him to see the world from different perspectives,
primarily from a from a business perspective, a young man
who's gonna be taking care of a family perspective. And
(15:19):
he'll make comments just in terms of when I'm trying
to explain certain things to him how things go in life.
He feels Sometimes he'll make a comment like, well, you
haven't had to deal with such and such because such
and such, you know, but you know, and I keep
having to tell him, I keep it having to remind
him that, you know, I you know, I slept in
(15:42):
a room with my brother until I mean we were
I was in the room with my brother until we
went to college, and we couldn't even open the door.
It was so tight in the room. We had bunk
beds with the bunk bed down. We couldn't even open
the door. So I didn't. I didn't. I wasn't born
into this, you know, And so there's a lot of
dis plan and hard work. So that has and a
(16:02):
blessing you know, from God, but discipline, hard work that
has me where I am today.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
What did y'all two learn from each other on set?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Well, I would say I definitely learned, you know when
I heard when they told me that they were you know,
when they asked me how I felt about Morris coming
on to the show number one, I was just excited.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
I mean, it's Morris the chestnut, you know.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I mean, it's true, you know, just it's just he
brings a level of professionalism and ease, but yet very
just approachable and kind and giving, you know what I mean,
in a way that you just may not expect for
someone who's been in the business for so long, for
someone who knows that they have this particular status, you
(16:48):
know what I mean. But he didn't have any of that,
you know, so I definitely just appreciated and respected that
you know about.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
You and I appreciate.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
So the one thing you know on a set that
the number one on the call sheet is the heartbeat
of the set.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
The set goes, how the number one goes.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
If the number one is not feeling good today, the
set's not gonna have a good day. If the number
one is not a good person, it's not a set
that you want.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
To be on.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
She is literally one of the best number ones that
I've ever worked with. She she I mean, this is
is so hard because when you're when you're when you
come to a set, you know, we have the scenes,
we have our lines, and we and we have to
worry about our character. And she knew everybody's name on
the set, everybody's name. And I've been on set. I've
been on set right now for six months. I still
(17:33):
only know probably about seven names out of like one
hundred people. And that was just so impressive to me.
And and it was really she was really inspiring to
me just to see how she was doing that. And
she made me mad one day because I always like
to be when they call us the set, I like
to be the first one there. And she beat me
one time. I said, I can't have that. I cannot
have her beat me to set because I got to
(17:54):
be there. Yeah, I got I can have that. So
she's just in everything that she does, and she was
all of that. You know, she had her daughter there,
she's taking care of her daughter.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
She has.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
You know, she's carrying the load on this show. She
did it so gracefully, eloquently and just an incredible actress.
So I just have a huge she's inspiring.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
There somebody you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Number one is there's somebody that you say, no matter
how much they pay you, without saying names, that you
just won't do a movie with them because they just
don't act.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
Right.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Oh no, no.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
No, because someone pops into my head.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
But I don't.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
That's just based off of what you hear. I don't know,
you know what I mean, I don't. I can't judge
someone based on that, So no, I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
Morrison.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Oh oh yeah, I have I have one, you know.
Yeah he doesn't. I'm not sure if he's. I don't
think he's done anything too much lately.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
But yeah, it's Yeah. It can be really really really
bad set. It's just not a good it's not a
working it's not a free working and environment to be
an artist when you have everyone walking on eggshells and
this person just dictates the whole mood, just the of
(19:10):
the set, and it just makes it so challenging, not
even to just do your job, just to even be
there because we spend twelve thirteen hours a day. It's
like a family. You know, you spend more time on
set than you do your family.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
So yeah, I mean, I say, I have a question
for you.
Speaker 11 (19:27):
I had heard Erica Alexander talk about how when black
women play strong roles on TV, it boxes them in.
It's like a good thing because your representation, but it
can be a bad thing because it boxes you into this,
like you always have that power, you always have to
be tough and rough. Do you think about that when
you're picking roles? I know, because Jackson's becoming a household
now household email like people love the show, do you
think about that? Do you think how that will affect you?
(19:49):
Has that been, you know, something you and your team
have talked about.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
You know, I understand what she's saying about that, because
that is you know, it's almost can even be a
stigma even that's placed upon us as black women. But
it's not something that I think about because there's an
element of.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
It that is true. It's there.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
We are strong. We've had to be strong for so
long for so many reasons. So you know, it's not
something that I feel like I have to lead with
or something that I have to be cognizant of because
I don't. It doesn't, it doesn't, It doesn't bother me
in that way, you know what I mean? And so
I think I do choose roles, not necessarily. If I
(20:26):
see a role and it says, okay, she is a
strong woman, that would have you you know, I know
I'm going to put my own spin on it, and
I may not feel like she's strong in the way
that they think she's strong, you know what I mean,
So I can make a different interpretation, interpretation on it.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Gotcha, Well, I know y'all got to go.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
So I got to my final question other when I'm around,
do you ever walk in the room and say I'm
the most handsome man?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
No?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
No, I did say that one day when we will,
and I don't never.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Say that, not doing You're in the family Feud video, right,

Speaker 5 (21:03):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:04):

how we met. We met at Ava house.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
We did it was more chess now when you were.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
There, I didn't, I didn't.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
You watching the movie or something and the fight it was,
That's what it was, but yeah, that's how that came about.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
But Ava was the director.

like Marris?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
To talk reasonable?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I want to start there because he's been talking so
much he thinks he's more reasonable.

You see a resemblance, and that what I just think?
Speaker 9 (01:01):
Okay, in the factory model said.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Now does it bother you when when this this brother
over here that looks nothing like you claims that he's.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You for his birthday, he posts pictures of you.
Speaker 9 (01:20):
I'm telling you, somebody came to me on the street.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I said, no, I wasn't on the street. You're right.
Speaker 9 (01:26):
I was at a hotel, was at the valet and
one of the values he said, that's what he said.
He said armagne, he said, he said charlete mane. I
don't know if he was trolling.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Glasses. I know he didn't have glasses. But it did happen.
It did happen. Did Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Didn't.
Speaker 10 (01:47):
That isn't the way you thought you got fantastic? What
what roles excite you nowadays? Mars, You've been in the.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Game so long, you know what this role did excite me?
It really did.
Speaker 9 (02:02):
You know the one thing I love. First of all,
she's incredible. I mean she's incredible at what she does.
Incredible actress, I mean she's incredible. But the whole production,
so the production starts, you know, with Onyx Collective. We
have you know, black female executives there, and then of
course Carrie Washington's.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
Company is producing Simpson Street, Simphion.
Speaker 9 (02:23):
Streets producing it top notes there Rama Mohammad, black female showrunner.
All the scripts were on time before I'd never gotten
scripts on a show like that this early.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I would get a script were like we was.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
We would be on the second day of an episode
and get a script for the next episode that normally
never happens, so everything was top and then working with
her in the cast. This role did excite me.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Now for people that don't know what is reasonable doubt about,
because on season two, so if they don't know what
is it about, break it down.
Speaker 8 (02:54):
You know, it's about this high powered, you know, black
female attorney, you know, who was about her business. You know,
she handles all of her business when she's when she's
in the office, when she's in court, you know, but
she's trying to juggle it. You know, she's a mother,
she's a wife, and sometimes you know, some of the.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Balls drop out of the air, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (03:11):
She she fails at times, and she makes questionable decisions,
makes mistakes at times, you know, but it's about this woman.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
It's about this marriage, this black marriage.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
You know.
Speaker 8 (03:21):
We get to see them trying to figure it out.
We get to see them making mistakes, We get to
see them, you know, really living their life in this
way that we don't often get to see on television.
Along with the courtroom drama of it all, you know,
we get to see her really in her element. Because
the show is loosely based on Sean Holly.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Yeah, she's a.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
Very high powered defense attorney in LA, you know, and
so we have all of those elements. It's a good
blend of the courtroom drama with the character driven kind
of piece.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
You sadn't have that business in court? Is that the business?
Speaker 8 (03:54):
I mean? She does what she got to anywhere, anywhere
and everywhere.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Did you see what Sean at all?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Oh yeah, before we start a filming, we you know,
she invited me to her home and you know, we
sat and we talked for hours. You know, I got
to really pick her brain about how she chooses the
cases that she decides to take on, because that's the thing,
you know, we really I think nailed that in the show,
with the kinds of cases that Jack chooses to accept
can sometimes cause issue with her friends or her family.
(04:23):
You know, why are you not defending black women? Why
did you choose to defend this man? And that's what
Sean is about, you know, and that's something that I
admired and wanted to know a little bit more about
what goes into her selecting the kind of cases that
she chooses to represent.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
Is it hard to leave your character on set.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Is it hard?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
No?
Speaker 8 (04:41):
No, I've learned how to just make the separation. I've
learned how to make the separation, and especially with someone
like Jack's, you know, she has a lot going on,
you know, so I'm thankful to just leave that there
and go home to normalcy.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
You know.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
I wanted to ask actors, like, when you have to
play a traumatic scene, right, like when Ricky gets killed
in Boys and the being that they played that so
much on TV?
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Does that trigger you when you see it?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Like?
Speaker 9 (05:04):
Do you feel that doesn't trigger me? One thing that
did trigger me when I did The First Best Man.
It was the first time that I had to be
such an emotional space. When I did the wedding scene.
I was crying and I had to be in an
emotional space for so long. That triggered me for just
even thinking about it for at least at least five
to seven years.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
What about when You'll did the TV.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
Show See I See, I had already you know, as
an actor, I had grown and I kind of let
some stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
You know.
Speaker 9 (05:32):
It's you know, as actors, you know, we use our
trauma and our pain to get there. So I you know,
I kind of worked, you know, on that, but it
triggered me for a long time on the first Best
Man because you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Ever get tired of it?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Because Boys of the Hood was so long ago.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Did you ever realize how impactful that was going to
be when you did when you shot it?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
I had no clue because when I when I, I
mean I was a lead in the movie that nobody
knew who I was, and ione knew who Cuba was.
You know, people knew who Ice Cube was. Angela wasn't Angela,
Nia wasn't Nia. I mean, everybody was, you know, just
popping off. So I didn't think it was gonna be
that big.
Speaker 10 (06:10):
Now, that's interesting what you said about the Best Man
because to being a role when the TV show came
where in that iteration of it, you know your wife
was deceased. Yes, you had to tap into that emotion
of being a man who lost their wife.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
How did you leave that at home?
Speaker 9 (06:26):
Well, so it's uh, leave that on the set round Yeah, yeah,
so it's okay. So so that was the first Best
Man I had that So the second Best Man was
tough because she was battling cancer and I had a
lot of emotional scenes then, So I've just learned to
manage kind of those emotions. I've learned to deal with
(06:47):
some of that trauma in a different way now. And
actually it's actually acting is pretty much therapeutic because you're
able to release certain things.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
And so over the years, that's that's what's happened.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Were you a fan of Reasonable about season one?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Because I was because I literally I was on it.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
I was playing a Saturday basketball game and one of
one of the guys there he was like, oh, he said,
we normally after we play, he's you know, we talk
about stupid stuff, do stuff in the gym or whatever.
And then he just said, hey, you guys seen the
show Reasonable Doubt. And I knew about the show because
I knew Elie was on it.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I knew Ami.
Speaker 9 (07:18):
I hadn't seen it yet. He was like, man, it
was just so odd to hear him say that on
the court. You know what I'm saying, And so he said,
you got to check it out, and so yeah, So
before I did the show, I was definitely fan because
I watched it because he told me to.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
And what was harder for you?
Speaker 11 (07:31):
Because Jackson is different season one versus season two, what
was the harder draw for you as an actress, like
pulling from the experiences.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Was it harder for season one or harder for season
two for you?
Speaker 8 (07:41):
I think I would definitely say season two, just because
of you know, she's showing a lot more vulnerability as
a result of what happened in season one. Yes, you know,
so that just it required, just like Morris was saying,
you know, I got to pull from some of those places,
you know, that kind of thing. So it was it
was more of a challenge in that way. You know,
I had to decide to open myself up.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
A lot of times when you see people in the
soap opera world, they never leave the soap proper world.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
But you did so cool.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So break down the soap proper world and what got
you in the soap oroper I will first I want
to know how you got into acting. Because you're a
military child. Usually that means you're traveling all over the place,
your parents are heavy into education. What got you into
acting From.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
The start, It was something that I always loved. I
always loved, but I didn't know that it could be
a choice to be a career, you know, And for
a long time it was just fun, just a hobby,
and I thought that I had it planned out.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
I was going to go to law school. I was
going to be a lawyer.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
My father wanted me to go to the military, but
I said, Okay, I think I'm going to be a lawyer.
But in high school I had a girlfriend who also
wanted to be a lawyer, and we had our whole plan.
It was going to be Cornaldi and Sweety incorporated, you know.
But I realized, thankfully before you know, graduation, Okay, no,
I don't really want to be a lawyer. I'm not
trying to go to law school like she was taking
it serious and fill out these essays.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I'm like, am I doing all that?
Speaker 7 (09:01):
A lawyer?
Speaker 8 (09:01):
Now? She's a lawyer now, So we we went in
the right path. I realized, No, I think I just
I like the drama, like the suits and you know,
all of that in the courtroom. And so that's the
moment when I knew, and I kind of started pursuing
it at that point. And this was in I graduated
high school in Jersey. My last two years were out
there in Kansas that was all over the place, and
then went back to Jersey and really started studying and
(09:24):
back and forth up here to New York, all my
off off off Broadway classes and all of that, and
then that was it.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
That was it.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
And my first role was that that role in Young
and Arrest, and that was because that was my mom's show.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
And she said to her, you know, that was me
making it.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
She says, you got to get him young and directed
run the Restless until Victor I said hi.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
And so the bittersweet.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Moment about that for me is because my mom passed
before that happened, before she got to see and so
as soon as I got on the set, I said, Victor,
I just got to tell you.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
You know, my mom just loves you so.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
And that was a small that was really small role,
and I think that's how I the reason why didn't
get caught up in it and staying there because it
was a small role, but it was truly one of
the most meaningful ones to me to this day because
of that.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Wow, that's so alarming.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Your first your first scene Mars is a sex scene.
Speaker 10 (10:17):
Do you ever have to tell these studios not to
not to objectify you, because we.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
Heard MEPhI Man once say he always, you know, pushed
back against his sex symbol status.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
Do you ever have to tell these studios like, look,
you know, I know I'm Maris Chestnut.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You can't be a stunt double bro.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
We would know the difference.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Or do you ever feel like it being objectified maybe
is a better question.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I don't see that that way. You know.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
It's almost like because people sometimes they ask me, they say,
do you get mad when people call you Ricky all
the time?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
When people see me on the street.
Speaker 9 (10:47):
And honestly, the one thing about me is that I
have never ever forgotten where I come from, right, and
and when I was an actor, just starting out, trying
to get an agent, just trying to get a part,
just say oh just please, somebody cast me.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I just want to be seen. I want to be
known so I can get more work.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
And so it just so happens that that role that
I was, that I was dying to get to be
able to get more work, was a role that it was.
It was a it was a blessing that it's still
still relevant and people still refer to it to this
very day. So now just because people say Ricky almost
every day, I'm not going to turn around and say,
(11:25):
oh man, I hate when people call me Ricky because
I was, so I would desire it so much. So
to your question about you know, studios, I don't think
they objectify me. I think that I've been in the
business a long time and the younger Morris would not
have imagined that he would be here to this very
(11:45):
single day after all these years. So I'm just I'm
I'm just blessed, and I'm very appreciative of the fact
that they still want to cast me, because in our industry,
you know, no one really retires from our industry.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Our industry retires us.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
The phone stops ringing, So as long as the phone
is still ringing, I'm gonna keep picking up.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
And I appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
But it's one thing to be a great actor what
you are, but it's another to be considered a heart drop.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Right, It's only like a kind.
Speaker 10 (12:11):
Of like it's like Denzel Mars, who else pitching that
lane historically?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Mm hmmm?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Who else? Michael B.
Speaker 11 (12:23):
Jordan's Michael, Yeah, he was kind of say from Queen Sugar,
dark skinned Queen Sugar.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Is the he's.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
There where we're at right now.
Speaker 11 (12:39):
But I think, honestly, you did it's y'all level of
it's like maybe two or three that are to go
to mainly you though, like you get, you do get
a lot of the posts and stuff online. A lot
of them comes from Charlemage's Instagram, I think to the
answer to.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
That question is from me, I don't. I don't focus
on it because you know, it's it's this is the
type of industry. There's you know, there's there's there's gonna
be somebody else tomorrow, there's gonna be somebody else the
next day.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
So I just focused. Honestly.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
I just try to focus on doing the best job
I can as an actor with these jobs, and if
that comes with it, I'm appreciative of it. If that's
what people say, I'm appreciative of that. But I don't
I don't focus on that. I just have to focus
on the work because that's going to keep me here
longer than being a You know, if people consider sexy
one not.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
The real more is shusting up was the sexiest man
alive in twenty fifteen. The reason I got to say
that because sometimes he puts his face there and I've.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Never done that.
Speaker 10 (13:34):
But if you wanted to call him the sexiest man alive,
that's fine.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
If you want to use me to.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Do that I've never done that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I was going to ask, how does your wife deal
with it all, you know, with women hollering when you're
allowed and the comments, how does she how does she
handle it?
Speaker 9 (13:55):
Well, I mean, my wife is a star in our
family for sure. I mean she's the one that uh,
I mean, she's a star in the family and she
does it.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
And I'm a homebody, I'm home all the time.
Speaker 9 (14:05):
And honestly, the older I've gotten, you know, I mean,
she's she's just not even. She's not stressed by it.
She's not even. She's just not she's not really interested
in the industry. She's it's like we've been together a
long long time and so you know, she knows what
it is. You know, I'm not going nowhere, hopefully she's
not going anywhere. But uh, it's she's she's cool with it.
(14:27):
What about your kids, that's a that's an interesting question.
We've never really had the conversation about it. My son
has made has made comments about it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Does he have jokes?
Speaker 9 (14:37):
No, No, he doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't, he doesn't
have jokes. He doesn't have jokes about it. Well, so
that's good question we have. We have my son, and
my son's uh, twenty six years old right now, you know,
he just turned twenty seven, and we just basically have
(14:57):
a lot of father son conversations, and my conversations are
more gears towards preparing him for life and and and
trying to get him to see the world from different perspectives,
primarily from a from a business perspective, a young man
who's gonna be taking care of a family perspective. And
(15:19):
he'll make comments just in terms of when I'm trying
to explain certain things to him how things go in life.
He feels Sometimes he'll make a comment like, well, you
haven't had to deal with such and such because such
and such, you know, but you know, and I keep
having to tell him, I keep it having to remind
him that, you know, I you know, I slept in
(15:42):
a room with my brother until I mean we were
I was in the room with my brother until we
went to college, and we couldn't even open the door.
It was so tight in the room. We had bunk
beds with the bunk bed down. We couldn't even open
the door. So I didn't. I didn't. I wasn't born
into this, you know, And so there's a lot of
dis plan and hard work. So that has and a
(16:02):
blessing you know, from God, but discipline, hard work that
has me where I am today.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
What did y'all two learn from each other on set?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Well, I would say I definitely learned, you know when
I heard when they told me that they were you know,
when they asked me how I felt about Morris coming
on to the show number one, I was just excited.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
I mean, it's Morris the chestnut, you know.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I mean, it's true, you know, just it's just he
brings a level of professionalism and ease, but yet very
just approachable and kind and giving, you know what I mean,
in a way that you just may not expect for
someone who's been in the business for so long, for
someone who knows that they have this particular status, you
(16:48):
know what I mean. But he didn't have any of that,
you know, so I definitely just appreciated and respected that
you know about.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
You and I appreciate.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
So the one thing you know on a set that
the number one on the call sheet is the heartbeat
of the set.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
The set goes, how the number one goes.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
If the number one is not feeling good today, the
set's not gonna have a good day. If the number
one is not a good person, it's not a set
that you want.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
To be on.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
She is literally one of the best number ones that
I've ever worked with. She she I mean, this is
is so hard because when you're when you're when you
come to a set, you know, we have the scenes,
we have our lines, and we and we have to
worry about our character. And she knew everybody's name on
the set, everybody's name. And I've been on set. I've
been on set right now for six months. I still
(17:33):
only know probably about seven names out of like one
hundred people. And that was just so impressive to me.
And and it was really she was really inspiring to
me just to see how she was doing that. And
she made me mad one day because I always like
to be when they call us the set, I like
to be the first one there. And she beat me
one time. I said, I can't have that. I cannot
have her beat me to set because I got to
(17:54):
be there. Yeah, I got I can have that. So
she's just in everything that she does, and she was
all of that. You know, she had her daughter there,
she's taking care of her daughter.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
She has.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
You know, she's carrying the load on this show. She
did it so gracefully, eloquently and just an incredible actress.
So I just have a huge she's inspiring.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
There somebody you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Number one is there's somebody that you say, no matter
how much they pay you, without saying names, that you
just won't do a movie with them because they just
don't act.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
Right.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Oh no, no.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
No, because someone pops into my head.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
But I don't.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
That's just based off of what you hear. I don't know,
you know what I mean, I don't. I can't judge
someone based on that, So no, I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
Morrison.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Oh oh yeah, I have I have one, you know.
Yeah he doesn't. I'm not sure if he's. I don't
think he's done anything too much lately.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
But yeah, it's Yeah. It can be really really really
bad set. It's just not a good it's not a
working it's not a free working and environment to be
an artist when you have everyone walking on eggshells and
this person just dictates the whole mood, just the of
(19:10):
the set, and it just makes it so challenging, not
even to just do your job, just to even be
there because we spend twelve thirteen hours a day. It's
like a family. You know, you spend more time on
set than you do your family.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
So yeah, I mean, I say, I have a question
for you.
Speaker 11 (19:27):
I had heard Erica Alexander talk about how when black
women play strong roles on TV, it boxes them in.
It's like a good thing because your representation, but it
can be a bad thing because it boxes you into this,
like you always have that power, you always have to
be tough and rough. Do you think about that when
you're picking roles? I know, because Jackson's becoming a household
now household email like people love the show, do you
think about that? Do you think how that will affect you?
(19:49):
Has that been, you know, something you and your team
have talked about.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
You know, I understand what she's saying about that, because
that is you know, it's almost can even be a
stigma even that's placed upon us as black women. But
it's not something that I think about because there's an
element of.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
It that is true. It's there.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
We are strong. We've had to be strong for so
long for so many reasons. So you know, it's not
something that I feel like I have to lead with
or something that I have to be cognizant of because
I don't. It doesn't, it doesn't, It doesn't bother me
in that way, you know what I mean? And so
I think I do choose roles, not necessarily. If I
(20:26):
see a role and it says, okay, she is a
strong woman, that would have you you know, I know
I'm going to put my own spin on it, and
I may not feel like she's strong in the way
that they think she's strong, you know what I mean,
So I can make a different interpretation, interpretation on it.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Gotcha, Well, I know y'all got to go.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
So I got to my final question other when I'm around,
do you ever walk in the room and say I'm
the most handsome man?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
No?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
No, I did say that one day when we will,
and I don't never.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Say that, not doing You're in the family Feud video, right,
jay Z's family?
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
How was How were you casting for that?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Are you cool with the family Ava? I think that's
how we met. We met at Ava house.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
We did it was more chess now when you were.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
There, I didn't, I didn't.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
You watching the movie or something and the fight it was,
That's what it was, but yeah, that's how that came about.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
But Ava was the director.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah, well, we appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
