it was time for me to growup and need and learn what I need
at the time I grew up anyand graduating from it. I got the
scores, the wounds and all that. Who don't it's South Central Now they

(05:42):
that's inspiration. If somebody want tojust know, man, you can.
You can make it happen. Man, It's gonna be all kind of different
ways, but you gotta beginning well, you know what I mean, say
you you can make it happen.You can expect for nobody else to make
it app before you'll get mad ifnobody to make it happen for you said
you yes, And that's key.That's key. You gotta want it.
You gotta want. If you don'twant it, it can't happen. Wow,

(06:05):
it's not. It could happen,but they ain't gonna happen the way
it shoot or cook. Well,I was always told that you're not trying
to win if you ain't cheating,ain't cheating, ain't trying you. I'm
trying to you trying to win.But yeah, yeah you can like,
hey, I'm with it. Icheated a little. Yeah, well maybe

(06:28):
a life, especially on homework,but it wasn't fuck me bro. So
what was your first film? Tellfrom Tales from the Hood? What do
you say? No, I Ilove I love what man? Real life?
That was the first thing. Thatwas the first one. Man,

(06:49):
I was seventeen. I wasn't eveneighteen. I was going on eighteen.
So wow. And just to havethat that in that time to be doing
a film. It's not the sameway of doing the film that everybody do
and they don't go in the moviethere. But that film was a little

(07:10):
different though. That was like ahorror it was. I didn't even see
that back yeah on me, Ididn't. I didn't say, Okay,
this is gonna have a twist.No, you didn't see it because you
you know I didn't even I've readmy part. Yeah, yeah, you
know what I mean. But itcome out and it's a one film working

(07:31):
with the greatest in the industry atthat time, not realizing and recognizing that
you are with the greatest bro.God is helping your self right now become
who you want to be, rightand hopefully that's an example and the representation

(07:51):
of the truth, real reality,real shit. So it's fair to sayment
you kind of been growing up inthis thing over the last grew up.
It ain't no fair to say ifit wasn't for everything that I've experienced in
my life, the ups and downthe bad from growing up, and I
couldn't be me if I was doingit another way or going through it another

(08:15):
And that's something I love about youand I always respect that about you,
especially is that we saw we sawa play out on social media. We
saw a playout. We saw yougoing through your ups and your downs,
and for you to come out andto still be doing what you love to
do and to be good at it. Man, that's one of the reasons
why me and CJ want to getyou on the show and you know,

(08:35):
and pay how much and salute youand give you your flowers while you hear
robs because we saw that. Youknow, was it hard down some back
from the lows the hearts and thelows or coming back getting inside of the
game. Really no, because Iwasn't expecting myself to take myself about the
game for some other boys. Excusemy language, but happens. It happens.

(09:01):
And if you don't, if you'renot conscious enough and settled enough to
think before you move, you willmove like I moved at the time.
I'm right like somebody just try tocross me and I'm not from the hand.
Nobody put the hand or nothing likethat. And it's not against nobody
will force somebody just life life.Those balls at you? Yeah, well

(09:28):
I ain't gonna say ball you hitit or you need that long? Yeah
move according Yeah, and um,you know, man, I should have
thought before I didn't have been.You know, well that that right there,
right, the right there is youknow, a note to give to

(09:48):
the up and coming inspiring actors orpeople just want to make it. You
know, you're you're, you're,you're saying all the right things, but
most importantly you really believe it inyour heart. But um, let's talk
about just go back to talk aboutthe acting. Yes, you know,
so can I call you service?No, man, we gotta call you
something. Ye see it's real faNo, that's all. It's all love.

(10:15):
After after tells from the hood aftertells from the hood where you were
you're expecting to do something bigger oror it was just coming to you now
from now, I was expecting youbecause I went to the premier, I
got on on red corpets and limousineand yeah, it's like, oh,
yeah, I'm doing this. Ilove this. Yeah yeah, added I

(10:41):
did really, especially the after party, like after working, I didn't.
I wasn't thinking that on the sixYeah yeah, I'm just like, man,
I'm let's hurry him and get through. But then you go through the
after port and and then you seethe people's reaction and man, that's it
was amazing man, and your family, You got your fan. I took
my mama bro in the world toshare your successful somebody that's close to your

(11:07):
real life. Man. You know, Mama, you know it's always been
impressive too, Daddy, dad,Pa, you know it. What's always
been I've been I've been proud ofhim about right is the fact that whatever
role he takes on, it becomesiconic for him. Right. So we

(11:28):
started with Stacy, right, everybodyno favorite right there? Right there.
You can't teach that right there,that Stacy. Wait, wait what you
say, don't shake my name?My bad? I love it and you

(11:48):
can say yeah. So let meask you this. We talked a little
bit earlier and you were saying thatwhat you drew from with that character is
like it wouldn't nobody talk to myself? This is no kind of way in
real life. So could you talkabout that a little bit. I'm the
oldest of eight or seven. Igot seven siblings. Well, let me

(12:09):
make sure I got five sisters andtwo brothers years and then me, ye
yes, my daddy got two daughtersand me with my well another woman of
course, the two daughters. Butme, I'm with my mama and my
mother has five right, maryhillis Andrewand Jonathan. Yeah, so and being

(12:31):
a big brother. And I gotfive sisters. Man, I'm not I
was hoarding in pain on mine.They got a big period, Ronda,
Mary Phillies to me. Then mysisters jazzach this one of my God blessed
sisters. You know what I mean. It's like who won't mess with them?
Who won't protect him? Nobody gonnamess with him. I'm gonna protect

(12:54):
him. There we go, andno matter what they called, whatever it
may be, I'm make sure theyknow stay up it is. Don't do
that, dude you supposed to docarry yourself this way and and and and
everything. Oh show, it's calledreal love, real love, real love.
Really. So you drew from thatright there. Man, I took
that to put it in that rolelike Howard Stacy and then the stay si

(13:18):
oh and I will tell my brothershot out. Yeah. I think thank
god you got a brother. There'sa lot of women don't have brothers,
and men take that as an excuseto be off yes on a week weirdo
ye yeah, and then you loseyour life. Yeah yeah, right.

(13:41):
Stacy wouldn't have no, yeah exactlyexactly. I don't think none of us
were have no nothing like that.So that role right there, it is
for you to be sold. Forthat to be such an iconic role.
You've still been able to do somany different things, and like you know,
it's like you're not phased by that, Like you're not you're not type

(14:03):
cast by that or whatever. Youjust do something totally different with your range.
Man, how are you able topull that off? I'm not understanding
at the time I'm doing it,Like what the ramifications are gonna be with
this role or high it's going packedor affect people? Right, I'm not
thinking that. I'm thinking, let'sget this money. I want to give

(14:24):
my cash and get I want togo home, right, and then it
come out and it's just a giftto keep giving. Bro. You know
we called a real talent gift.Everybody can't do that. You know,
a lot of people time gotta youknow what I'm saying, gotta really going
to They gotta go to go toretreats and all kinds of stuff to get
carried out. Let me bringthe realBut I want to contact. But I

(14:48):
go through that. I still do. I do that on set when I'm
going like, because I don't readnobody part except mom. Like I don't
want to know about what you gonnado, or what he gonna do,
or what they gonna do. Theygotta do that. I just gotta worry
about what I'm gonna do. Sothat's what our focus on real life.

(15:09):

some bills. We'll be right backwith the dub C c J Max Show

a bit hit. Welcome back tothe dub C and CJ Max Show.
I am CJ Mac and I amdub C and we're still here with my

(15:58):
pot. The man little up alittle scene that is so man. We
were talking earlier about some of thefilms you've been in, man, especially
The Wood, you know what Imean? So from there, what was
next? I did The Wood andI did a Sunset Port Sunset flood Time

(16:19):

the money, man. Hey,I mean I got a fan my mama.
Wow, So let me ask youthat. That's let's talk about that.

(17:03):
So a lot of people say,you know, don't don't have the
money involved in it, that yougot to be you know what I'm saying,
just the art form and into that, and it's not how are you
able to do both? So well, like you getting the money, but
at the same time you well,I'm getting the ass in or the money.
I'm not getting the executive producer money. Right, So that's what the

(17:26):
thing. Yeah, yeah, keywordyet thank you? Right. And it's
a difference, you know, becausefrom somebody having nothing to getting what you
think is something a movie man andmake you like really think you hit the
gold mine. But the motherfucker's behindis the gold mine. They got all

(17:48):
they're getting all the gold from yourtalent, if that makes sense. But
it does but is that your motivation? No? Money, never, it
was not my to do movies wasmy dream? Okay. I didn't give
care if I got money or notat first, But then once I seen

(18:11):
the first check from Tells in theHood, I was like, hold on,
I'm in the wrong field. Youget it. You get this right
the day to do that, todo what you love, right, it's
called a passion, right, youknow. My brother, my brother tunes

photime for free, but we'll bedoing it for free because it was a
passion. So acting was was yourpassion? He just said it bro or

what I was supposed to do toget out there, maneuver and make an

(19:18):
honest dollar. Yeah, he openedup other avenues for me to achieve my
dream. Well, I tell everybodyme and see jobs talk about about taking
advantage of our opportunity instead of takingit for granted. So many opportunities come
through, you know when you're growingup, and it seemed like as you
get older, them doors open andclose a lot faster, and it's less

(19:41):

And that's hard to come by.Bro, that's rare. And the
brother, you know, he's like, Man, I'm not a role.
I want you to read for itand I hope you do good. That's

(31:32):
all I needed to hear. Idon't give the role was did you what
did you read for? Originally?Scully? Oh? Originally I don't even
remember the character because I wasn't.That was like a few years prior to
it coming out. I was imprisonedwhen uh I did a violation like thirty
two months with half so I seenit. The same move the sow I

(31:57):
read for is now own and I'min prison. I know how to make
you feel like here, we like, are you serious back in this motherfucker
for what you just did teen years? Why are you back? I don't
even know you had done the violationy'all did carrying a knife, Yeah,

(32:20):
I keep a knife. No shiplegal, I ain't on Parollau pro back.
I walked out, went to infront of police just like this.
They came real, we love y'all. Bro. They came the one you
got violated, Oh that was akitchen knife. It was a little longer.

(32:45):
Two of them I have too.So so let's get back to the
story. Man. So you was, you was locked down, you saw
it, you bounced back, andI was like, on my mom,
I'm gonna get on that ship becauseI knew I had a relationship for a
meeting. I knew John right,and he told me on the set of

(33:07):
the Wood. He came up thereand I met him the first time near
I got something for you, Andit wasn't snowfall. It probably was,
baby boy. I was supposed tobeing that ship on the prison. I
missed a lot of things wanted toprison. Oh yeah, and thank god

(33:27):
the ones that still had an interesting, had an interesting when you got out
right, Wow, that's a blessingin itself, Like I said, Man,
that's realized. That's a whole lotof getting blessed right, going in,
coming out, a lot of grading, bro, a lot of gras.
None of my life in my hand. My life is controlled and ordained

(33:51):
by the universe. Anything I needand want, so long as it's right
and I'm doing what I'm one thatit's gonna be done. Basically you handling
in your business. And see Iwas, you know, I've been privileged
enough to work on snow Far witha quite a few of the actors and

(34:12):
seeing this guy come through. Itwas funny because me and John was talking
and I said, you got DeAndre. He said yeah, he said the
dope. That's all he said.Yeah he doped. He doped. That's
all he said, was yeah,he done. And to see you there
doing your thing in the in thewhole cast, we already know everybody know

(34:32):
you know. Let you be toldon God on my life. The people,
my co Yeah, yeah, yeah, Broy. They gave me so
much insight from behind the scenes aboutJohn and how he thought right of me.
Particulate. Yeah, I was like, what humble me so greatly?

(34:57):
Bro, Like I I'm not Igonna do anything to tornish or mess up
this man's ideas. And or tosee you in action, you know,
when we're sitting back there and we'refilming, to see you in action,
to see you go like CJ isreally impressed me too by the way you

(35:19):
just zone in, yeah, andzone out the player a character like Scully.
You know, what's the preparation forthat right there? Because Scully Scully
so unpredictable mask exactly because I thinka little that is in all of us,
like unpredictability. And what would youdo if if this was forced up

(35:44):
on you. I'm not gonna thinktwice about. I'm gonna handle what I
need to handle, and Scully gonnahandle what he need to handle. But
if it's something he could think through, he gonna think through it. Is
it worth it or is it not? If it ain't worth it, everybody
gotta go right, does that makeif it ain't worth it, we're gonna

(36:09):
lead that way it is, andand let's let's let's get to the next
plateau. It's funny that he's sooff the hook, but yet here is
a voice of reason. Definitely,that's great. You know what I'm saying,
scutty off the chair. I believethat it's a lot of people that

(36:30):
we probably know and see that didn'thave a voice of reason and they're no
longer here. Oh yeah, yeah, you know what I mean, Like
that nigga was the nigga and yeah, now ye not hearing no more.
So reason is the key, evenif even if you that nigga, or

(36:55):
you don't have no love me,or you don't get fun about and I'm
like, stup, don't have reason? You got children, you got family,
you got mothers, you got brothers, you got sisions. Think of
that ship before you do what youdo to mess it up. Take it
all away from you now you don'task right, you got that position where

(37:16):
you didn't been taking away from everything. Man, we're making a rash decision,
and you know what I'm saying.So you definitely understand because of that,
making an indecisive, unrational didn't thinknothing through, just move right.
That's why I could carry a knifeeverywhere. Go a knife. It's not

(37:38):
a gun. If I had agun, I'll probably been shooting a lot
of people just for fun. Ona freeway driving away, they dropped the
north fence. I'm not no,no, but I'm being I'm not I
can't throw a knife, fench.But and it's but at home, that's

(37:59):
a different the story. Yeah,you know, you got the right to
protect anything you move with whatever youchoose. So understanding that, knowing that
when I move, I move acourting like I'm going here to handle this.
I ain't got a worry about this. I'm bringing whoever going my peoples
that are, let's go and wetake care of it and it's over after

(38:20):
that. If it's something happened inbetween that, we got the man to
do that. KG. You know, I ain't gonna say no other name.
Yeah, you know what I mean, shu K. So look,
man, so do you have toone thing? And y'all for give me.
I'm kind of stuck on that characterbecause that's one of my favorite roles.
Yah. Yeah, that's my favoritecharacters. Right. So do you

(38:44):
he's so different from everybody else inthe show, schulge that character is so
different. Do you have to gosomewhere like by yourself to get into that
character away from everybody else because he'sso different? Or how does that work.
Do you just really just dig intobeing him? Actually? First,

(39:06):
remember I told you I'll read mycharacter. I don't worry about nobody else
peer whatever they're doing. I mayknow their lines to lead me. Yeah,
but other than that, man,it's uh, I do like have
to go inside myself to find Likewhen I look like the character Scully lost

(39:30):
his daughter and had to meet hisbaby mother at the hospital. I have
never you know, thank god,lost nobody like that. You know,
But how did I prepare for that? Because imagine even imagining that type of

(39:51):
loss is heavy. Wow, it'ssuper heavy, bro. So I go
in there and just do that,gain that and don't say nothing until it's
time to do it. When theysay it's time to work, then I'm
right. We're all talent. Andthat's what it looks like to me,
that that that you have to gothrough that kind of process because that character

(40:12):
is so deep like that characters,I love it man. Like I said,
once again, man, you putoff another iconic role man only you
could do. Oh yeah, yeah, I've seen that. But I've seen
every every every character inside snow Fall. I've seen everybody take that role and

(40:34):
dig into it and put their twiston it, especially you. It was
Scully. I've seen that. I'vebeen sitting back there and just watching when
they say action, how you youknow something might meant to be and I
don't even know you watching me.Yeah, I'm happy, Yeah, something
something met Nick. You might thinkthat it's gonna be said a certain way
and you'll go another way, goanother way with it, and that we

(40:58):
didn't set back there behind the multipletimes and we're like wow, wow,
wow, which is universe? Yeah, And I want to ask your questions
since we're speak on us now far, are you surprised the way that it's
being we talked about it earlier,the way it's being received right now.
You know, the beginning, peoplewere saying, you know, it's cool,
it's cool. In the middle,they're like, I'm getting up on
it now that we're announcing that thisis the last season. Are you surprised

(41:23):
right now on how many people areupset, mad, they don't want it
to go. I don't I'm notsurprised, mad or none of that.
But what I would say according tothem to that is that's like life,
bro, motherfucker. Don't cry andappreciate you to you gone that's deep speak,

(41:45):
and now it's going everybody feeling it. They were feeling it in a
halfway morning. Yeah, you know, but it took time to build to
reach that level. Yes, andBro, it's just it's just a work
or thing. Can't be duplicated,not at all. And that's what that's

(42:07):
something that I'm I'm glad that yousaid that it can't be duplicated. You
know, it can't be duplicated.I mean, somebody could come out tell
their own version, but this oneright here, it can't be duplicated.
And we heard the story before,of course from you know, Rick Ross,
Freeway, Ricky Ross. Yeah,but this John told me out of
his own mouth all respect to Freeway, yeah, Rick, Yeah, Ricky

(42:30):
Roll. He wasn't only dope dealer. Bro, you ain't the only dope
dealer in Los Angeles, California,let alone California or LA. You had
big time niggas that was dope dealing. So don't act like you the only
one was winning. Yeah, Butme being us being from South Central,
I will acknowledge the big homie,you know, Yeah, I and give

(42:52):
him his because I because he wasthe closest to this right here, that
we know of you know to me, Yeah, but that don't have to

I wouldn't want to be a partof that, yes, yeah,
yeah, I definitely. I don'twant to be a part of nothing that
took my people to him. Definitely, definitely, definitely definitely, But you

(43:15):
know I not act. Yeah,but the way I'm acting then I didn't
have nothing to do with good answer. Yeah. No. The way that
is being received though, Man,I'm happy, and that's credited to individuals
