Speaker 1:I should have known that the crazy part is. I just want to give a brief synopsis of how this all happened. Cj, we in his crib it's dope got the backdrop. We in this crib it's dope Got the backdrop. Everything crazy in here bar over there.
Speaker 1:But I was talking to JoJo and JoJo, you know, I asked her. I said hey, I need you on a podcast. And she said, all right, she gave you the sigh. Yeah, she gave me the sigh. Like I don't like being in front of the camera. So I was like, come on, jojo, I need more females on the pod. She said, you know what? Just for you, I'll do it. So I said I bet. She said, oh, you know what, you should interview CJ too. You remember CJ, and I was like the guy that got the Marine tattoo. She was like I don't think other taking shots doing something, oh my God. So she was like, well, I think that's him then. So I was like bet. So you know, I'm always good meeting people, but the fact that, like I was like, damn, he a Marine, that's brotherhood right there already.
Speaker 1:Then you know the hospitality we get here. You're like you want something to drink, whatever. Whatever you want to drink, whatever you want to whatever Get, whatever the fact that we are both from the Midwest yeah, man, you know what I mean. I think that's the dopest part, because you know a lot of Midwest people. We assimilate anywhere you know what I mean anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world, and I think it's dope to even just bump into a like, a like-minded, uh brother. But that's not even the most important part. Most important part is bro, you on tv, you, you on tv and don't nobody. That's part of it. People know. But the shows that you're on, I watch Law Order, bet, her, I watch all of those shows and I'm like yo. I never paid attention until I went back and checked your IMDB that JoJo sent. So, without further ado. Man to the left of me, y'all know who I am, I'm Tweezy. To the left of me, who we got.

Speaker 1:So look man, we just going to start it off like any other thing, man.
Speaker 2:Well, I got to start. First and foremost, I just want to say I appreciate you know you having me on the podcast. Jojo just forced my name into it, but it's a great thing. It's the first time I'm ever doing a podcast, but definitely I appreciate you being here and me being able to watch it when JoJo was doing it first and just seeing how everything was working out. I mean, it's dope man, yeah man.
Speaker 1:Much respect, appreciate it. I want this to be a forever for everything. I don't want this to be just like a you know, like a segment or a segue to something else I really do, like sitting down and talking to anybody. Yeah, I mean, I think I learned that from just being in the Marine Corps because you know like you go into boot camp, you, with 100 plus different people, you don't even know you might go with a buddy system, you might not, but at the end of the day you're going to end up becoming family, absolutely. You know what I'm saying. Especially going through all that together man, going through that three months, then a month of you know MCT, then wherever your MOS, your job, school is, hey, crazy, do you know, I didn't know that MCT was a thing.
Speaker 2:When I was done with boot camp I thought I was done. Yeah, like I thought I was going. You know just straight to the fleet. Yeah, yeah, you know, not even to my job. And then I saw the video and it was like, hey, you know, I have to boot camp Marine combat training. I was like, huh, what is that, you know? So that was a bit of a shocker.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because you go home and you're like, damn, I got to come back in 10 days.
Speaker 2:I had, I did the yeah, yeah, yeah. You said you hated your recruiter though. See, I didn't know you was going to say that on the podcast, but yeah.
Speaker 1:Hey man, you know.
Speaker 2:We're going to call a spade a spade. He wasn't quite truthful with me about you know Some things, about some things. I'll say that, but shout out to my recruiter Honestly, if I never would have joined the Marine Corps, I wouldn't be where I'm at now. Man, it was the best thing that ever happened.
Speaker 1:That's facts, man. That's facts because my wife over there blowing kisses. Yeah, that's facts, man. I mean because, if you think about it, man like we coming from, you know rough environments and you know it's not the only environments that's rough, but we coming from two of the most known yeah, because you're Detroit, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Detroit.
Speaker 1:Detroit and Chicago. Man, like everybody know about it. But at the same time we made a sacrifice to leave home and build something better for your, not only ourself, but for our families. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I got a question. I know you're supposed to be asking me questions. No, you can ask me questions too, like what was? What was your reason to actually go in? What was your reason to actually go in, like what?
Speaker 1:sparked it. So crazy part man. I had a. I was supposed to go to Norfolk State play baseball. Baseball was my favorite sport. I played football, played basketball, but in high school I was in baseball and just swimming. I ain't even. I played football in ninth grade year and after my grandma passed I just stopped loving it. You know what I mean. So and I was 4'11". Crazy part.
Speaker 2:So, joe, you said it out there, I was 4'11 to 11th grade.
Speaker 1:So I didn't think I wasn't going to grow. So I was like, nah, I'm just going to stick with baseball. I know baseball for sure. I'm good in that height. So so, nah, man, senior year coming around, staff Sergeant Robinson still remember his name. He was a cool recruiter. He would walk around, you know the Marine dressed blue uniform man.
Speaker 2:He had on a Delta. That's one of the baddest uniforms out there.
Speaker 1:He had on a Delta man. He ain't say nothing to me, but I used to always see the Army guy, army guy bothering me. Hey man, hey Kennedy man, what's up? Man, you want to come? I'm like no man, I'm straight, I'm good. Just kept hassling me, man. Then one day, like the teacher, this is when you can knock on the teacher's door and take a kid out of class and they'll Give them away Like here, go ahead, you can go with the recruiter or whatever.
Speaker 1:I'll let them talk to you and I know more, Boy I'm going to tell you I was a recruiter and they wasn't doing none of that. Wow. So he pulled me to the side, Staff Sergeant Robinson. He said look, man, I already know you're going to Norfolk State. I know you're the captain on the baseball team. I know you got a bright. Give me a call. So that right there just off the break he took his time to research what I did. You know what I mean, versus the army dude just hassling me all the time just telling me to come take a test. You know what I mean. So yeah, man. So I took some thought into it. My grandfather was in the army, both grandfathers. My grandfather on my dad's side was in the army. Grandfather on my mom's side was in the Air Force and the Navy. Oh, wow.
Speaker 2:A military family, yeah.
Speaker 1:And my uncle was in the Army as well, on my dad's side, so I had a bunch of family in the military and I was like man, the Marines they be fighting them dragons. Remember that commercial bro? Yes.
Speaker 2:I'm like yo that commercial was crazy.
Speaker 1:So I told him. I said man, y'all be fighting dragons, man. I don't know if I want to do that, but that uniform, tight though. And he was like no man, that's just a commercial man, we don't fight no dragons. So I wanted to be different and I was just like you know what I don't want to blame my mom but like I wasn't prepared to go to college, like I was a 3.5 student, yeah, but I never took the SATs until like last semester of 12th grade. Okay, I'm already behind. Yeah, you know what I mean. So she would just wake me up and just drop me off every Saturday to go take the ACTs. I'm like I ain't even studying, I ain't took no prep work, nothing. So after that I was just like you know what? I'm just going to take the ASVAB. You know what I mean? Because I didn't want to for one, I didn't want to waste my parents' money, because I just wanted to party. I was tired of school.
Speaker 2:Like the crazy part is, I never told this story For those who don't know. Asvab is one of the tests you have to take before you.
Speaker 1:It's the military aptitude test.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh yeah, you're a recruiter, you know that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I give you the whole rundown, but yeah, so I never told this part of it. But I pretty much was like fuck, like fuck, fuck school, and I almost got kicked off the baseball team and all the teams because my last shit, my last semester, I had like a 1.5. I see, yeah, fuck it. I had senioritis. I ain't even gonna lie, I had senioritis. But I was done with school. Yeah, I had a 1 to 4. I would go to school at eight, get out at twelve every day. So it was like I was tired of school and I wasn't doing the work because I knew like I'm done mentally, you was checked out. I was checked out, so I wasn't even trying to go and take the ACT's, but I just go and bubble in what I thought, what's the answers, and send it in. I kept scoring 15s, just abacadabra all the way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, literally, a, c, c, c, c, a, a, c, and literally, man, I kept getting 15s. I'm like, damn, I'm getting 15s and I ain't even trying, yeah. So I was like you know what, let me go take the ASRAB. I took the ASRAB, I took the ASRAB, I scored like a 40. I scored like a 46.
Speaker 2:I can't even remember.
Speaker 1:As a recruiter. You know, once you hit 50, you consider the alpha. That means you're a go to any military branch. If you score a 50, you pretty much qualify for every job. But with my 46, I still qualified for like 100 and something jobs. Yeah, so qualified for like a hundred and something jobs, yeah. So I was supposed to be calm and uh, when I, when I was about to leave in january, like december, my recruiter was like hey, we're gonna have to push your, your date back. I'm like, nah, bro, I'm already mentally prepared to leave. Yeah, january 5th, I'm ready to go. You know, I mean 2004, I'm ready to roll. So he's like man, the only way you can do that is you go open contract. So I'm like what's open contract? He's like man. The only way you can do that is you go open contract. So I'm like what's open contract? He was like man, it's pretty much like you're a free agent.
Speaker 2:So I was like all right Go for it.
Speaker 1:No Right, and I swear to God. I thought I was going to be a grunt man, I promise you. But I think if I did, I was with grunts, infantry, for those that don't know. So yeah, man, that's how I joined. And the reason why I joined is because it was like I just wanted to get away from home.
Speaker 2:Because I knew yeah, it wasn't nothing for you back then, it wasn't nothing for me, bro.
Speaker 1:It wasn't nothing for me and I knew like if I stayed I'd be just some ignorant kid Not understanding, being dumb, belligerent, fighting, stealing. You know what I mean, shooting. So I said you know what, Let me get up out of here, because I already had like anger in me already. You know what I'm saying. So, yeah, I left and that was the best thing. Like you, man, the best thing that ever happened to me.
Speaker 2:What about you? So I went to Elmhurst College, a private college in, uh, in Illinois, um, affluent neighborhood, uh, um, it was I don't know the percentage of. It was a high percentage of like Caucasian and then, you know, maybe it was like 10, 20% was like an amalgam of of different ethnicities and, uh, basically, I mean, I went to play basketball there. Michael Jordan held his children's camp there, so literally got to meet Mike on the same court as Mike. That's dope, it was wild man. Yeah, that dude, he talks the most trash ever I've heard. It's horrible, I heard, but I digress. Uh, basically, my, uh, my sophomore year I ended up quitting the basketball team because we won the conference championship.
Speaker 2:My freshman year, the first one in the school's history like, our gym is just full of banners of our. What school? Elmhurst college. Okay, yeah, banners. Every banner in the gym was like our body. Our girls volleyball team was just ridiculous. Yeah, those are all the banners. We banner in the gym was like our. Our girls volleyball team was just ridiculous. Yeah, those are all the banners. We finally got one up for basketball.
Speaker 2:But the next year is just um, something changed with how our practices were. I guess they were just so amped about what we did a year prior that, um, like the practice just became, I don't know. It was just a little bit too much, yeah, you know, and I wasn't having fun anymore, right, right. So I told my roommate I was like man, I'm about to walk over to the coach's office. Let him know that. You know what I'm saying. I'm done and little did I know.
Speaker 2:Forgive me, wolf, for telling this story, but my roommate, dave Wolf, said his whole government name While I'm walking over there. He called over there and quit on the phone. And I'm going to talk to them like face to face and stuff like this. So I walk in. They're just hanging up the phone, you know, and I'm just like, hey, you know, this is what's going on. I just my heart ain't in it, no more. I'm not having fun, so I just think it's best that I step away. It's like, wow, it's everybody's doing that now. And I'm like, hmm, it was like your roommate just called and quit and I'm like wow, you know, you gave him the heads up to beat your team.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah. But so the crazy thing about that when I quit the basketball team I didn't realize that what was keeping me in class? I went to Elmhurst. I thought that's what my destiny was, because I mean I loved computers, I would build computers and all this other type of stuff, man. But once I quit the team, like I stopped going to class, like that was the only thing keeping me like in class, because I knew if I didn't go to class, if I didn't pass, then I wouldn't be able to play basketball. But once I was no longer playing basketball, I just wasn't mature enough just to be a regular college student. And I just wasn't mature enough just to be a regular college student, right, and I just stayed on campus and I was just getting Fs Dang Fs Living the F life yeah.
Speaker 2:And I remember my roommate Dave. He was like man, what are you going to do with your life? And I kid you not. It's like a movie. The Marine Corps commercial came on.
Speaker 1:I didn't really know nothing about the Marines, this dude was climbing a mountain, took out a sword and it was like a fire-breathing dragon.
Speaker 2:I was like I'm going to fucking fight a dragon. You know what I'm?
Speaker 1:saying I'm going to do that Right, I'm hyped.
Speaker 2:Let's do it. And he just came out of nowhere, you know, he just spawned like it was Halo, you know what I'm saying. He was just like, hmm, never make it. I'm like, whoa, hold on, like any type of challenge. I'm like, nah, all right, stop. So I was in a recruiter's office the next day and I'm like, hey, you know, I want to join and stuff like that, you know. And it was like, all right, great, we're out in like a couple of weeks, something like that. Slow down, that's too fast, let's talk a little bit more.
Speaker 2:But ended up, you know, taking an ASVAB. I can't remember what I scored, but I found out about the DEP program, the Delayed Entry Program, and basically it can delay you leaving for boot camp, I think up to a year. Up to a year, yeah. And I think I took like seven or eight months and yeah, and then I left.
Speaker 2:I just it was once I quit the team, I started falling back into a lot of bad habits and I just and him saying, what are you going to do with your life? It just struck something inside of me and I knew I didn't want to go back and you know, and kind of be, I felt like I would have been a burden on my parents. You know, I have four older sisters. I'm the youngest child, only boy, you know, and I remember one of my sisters telling me, you know, saying my middle name is Jason. So it was like Jason, you ain't got no job and all Like it's just, I'm like man, I can't, I can't be this person and yeah, so and yeah so I ended up joining the Marine Corps and, honestly, uh, best decision that that I ever made.
Speaker 2:You know I'm saying my, my knees don't feel that way. You know what I'm saying. But uh, I went in as a 0151, so I went in as an administrator. Yeah, and um, I gotta tell you why you gotta have. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, baby, I didn't know you yet. I didn't know you yet, but the recruiter was. He was like you know, that's where all the women are, and stuff like that. I'm like, bet you know, send me the admin, yeah not one girl in my shop. Nope, you probably what uni, you going to?
Speaker 2:I was at. I was at 3rd Mar Div and I was with G1. You know what? I'm now one girl in my shop and my gunny wanted it that way because he wanted to dispel the whole thing that if you're an admin that you're just like lazy and all this other type of stuff. This dude was a 300 pft, you know our shop average was like 285.
Speaker 2:So he would sign us up for like relay races on Friday so we can be tired and not do anything that night stay out of trouble like this dude was, you know, a menace in a good way, yeah, um so, yeah, no, but it was, it was still. It was great, but play basketball in the marines as well. Um, so my basketball journey wasn't over, uh, quite yet.
Speaker 2:However, um, that's when, after doing the whole admin thing for a couple of years, and I'm just like you know- I found out about Marine Security Guard duty and I volunteered for that and I was able to get in and stuff like that, did my training at Quantico and then had a great three years as a Marine Security Guard. Where did you go? Did you go somewhere every year? Well, I was in, I was in. I was in, I was supposed to. I was in Tashkent, uzbekistan, for longer than I was supposed to be.
Speaker 1:Ain't that where the fairy odd parents live at?
Speaker 2:I don't know who that is. You say who the fairy odd?
Speaker 1:parent. You don't know about that cartoon man. Nah CJ will tell you about it. He'll tell you about it.
Speaker 2:But, but Tide Skin was my first, oh, that was my first post. We opened up that embassy, actually, and and it was basically it was Tokyo. After that it should have been one, one and one, you know, three different places, but a whole bunch of stuff, politics, stuff was going on, yeah, and we weren't able to. I wasn't able to leave when I was supposed to yeah, you know how that goes, yeah, but, but not again. Everything happened for a reason and I had a great time there and met a lot of people. And then I ended up in Tokyo when I was supposed to, and there were people there that I networked with and because of, you know, saying that relationship, you know, it helped me. You know what I'm saying get work outside once I was done with the Marines. So, yeah, man, it was a great experience you know.
Speaker 1:So how did you jump into acting out of all of the, from the MSG to admin, to basketball, how did acting jump in?
Speaker 2:I mean, it just kind of came out of nowhere, man, but let my mother tell it this was always something that I was probably destined to do, just because she, like, there's videotapes, vhs tapes, vhs kids, you know, not even DVDs. Yeah, Because I used to perform at the assemblies in school when I was like in, like fifth, oh, you're doing a talent show. Fifth, sixth grade, weak, I'm weak. My wife's supposed to be working making sure the screensaver don't come on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just press over, there we go and I go down. Thank you, thank you, baby.
Speaker 1:You were so caught up in the story that you yeah, she forgot. But yeah, so I used to you was doing talent shows or just doing yeah, yeah, performing at yeah, performing at the school.
Speaker 2:It was like, all right, we got an assembly coming up. This is Black History Month. You know we want you to do these speeches and stuff like that, and I was good at it, you know. But you know, as a kid you're fearless, right. So I'm getting up there in front of all these people and I'm memorizing these speeches and I'm saying them with you know what I'm saying, like such passion and and it was crazy, but I didn't remember that stuff until she showed me tapes of it. I think I still got one man. I ain't got a VHS, but you got to convert it. Now I know, man, I know you got to find a converter, but how I got into it was basically we were staying in Haymarket, virginia, and one of my neighbors who was like an up-and-coming photographer Josiah Mendoza is his name. He's a great, great photographer he wanted to Shout out to Josiah.
Speaker 1:I know exactly who that is Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Shout out, Josiah man. He sent me a weird text message and this is just how he and I talked. He was like hey, I need your face. Oh yeah, this was before. I was born but off and yeah, that's this was before it was bought, but he was like hey, I need you, he sent, he sent. Hey, I need your face, you know he sent that.
Speaker 2:That's the Apple, that's the Apple send, that's the Apple send for you Androiders, and I was just like all right you know, you know, and basically we he put the pictures out there on social media and I remember him showing me the first picture and I couldn't even believe it was me. One of my neighbors, she did the makeup and stuff like that. Karen Rodriguez, shout out, girl, great job. And yeah, it was amazing. And I'm like, okay, this was dope, you know. And then, oh, yeah, here's what happened.
Speaker 2:I ended up, I think I was 29 or 30 years old and I went to the doctor. I had a physical and they was let. Basically, the physical was bad news. Yeah, my cholesterol was super high, my triglycerides were off the charts, I was in line for metabolic syndrome, which leads to heart disease and heart attacks and stuff like that. And first thing that hit me was seeing my father in a hospital and I think, you know, I was very young, you know, and so was he Right, and I'm just like man, you know, this type of stuff is. I got to watch out for this type of stuff because it's in my genes, hereditary, yeah, so it scared me, definitely scared. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:My wife Literally went home, got rid of, like, all of our junk food, all this type of stuff. I got on a workout plan and ended up getting in a little bit of shape, you know, I got healthier and the byproduct of that, you know, I was fit, you know. So I ended up doing a fitness photo shoot with Josiah Shout out Josiah. And he put the pictures out there. And his photo shoot with Josiah Shout out Josiah, and he put the pictures out there. And if he was like yo, you should model, you should model. I'm like you know, like I don't know, but you hear it enough. You just like maybe I should give it a shot. Put my pictures on his website called Model Mayhem.
Speaker 2:And, oddly enough, the first person that wanted to work with me didn't photography, he was doing a web series. He was like you look exactly like the character I'm writing. Why don't you come and do this audition? I knew nothing about doing an audition. I was just like alright, he gave me the lines, I did the audition. He was like, alright, you know what I'm saying, you get to go.
Speaker 2:I was a part of the project, you know, and that was literally my first gig was. It was a web series and, luckily, luckily enough, um, like for me, I'm a sponge. Whoever I'm around, you know, especially if they, if they know more than me. They've been in this industry longer than me. I'm going to listen to what they have to say. Yeah, and these guys, they were giving me all these gems and, um, talking about different casting agencies that were in the area. Because, again, I knew nothing about this stuff so I just went all in because it was so much fun. It was a hobby in the beginning, but it was so much fun and I was finding success with it and it got to the point and I'm talking to my wife, jessica, about it and I'm just like you know, maybe I might try to take this seriously. Yeah, and I did, and I remember I think I'm trying to think what was like the turning point.
Speaker 2:I ended up meeting Derek Gray. He's a writer and a producer and it's like he was writing for my voice. He put me in some web series and they really highlighted the type of actor and acting that because it was dramatic and it really highlighted me. And once he started putting this stuff out there, like he was really pushing his projects, so I was getting seen and people wanted to work with me. So people would reach out like, hey, I want you, I want you to be a part of this project and that's one of the biggest things networking in this industry and I know, you know, man, like, networking is such a big thing in this industry and, honestly, it can be 90 percent of it if you're doing it right, right, so people were talking about me and I wasn't even in that room, you know, but there was like hey, you should check CJ out. I'm getting calls from people that I don't know. Like, hey, so-and-so mentioned you, you know, like, so I got this project going on and I would love for you to be on it, and it was a lot of times I wasn't even auditioning anymore, you know so.
Speaker 2:And then it got to a point where I ended up booking a job where, uh, it was a SAG. It was a SAG commercial, a union commercial, and it was with Olivia Munn, and I didn't have a big part in it, you know, but I was still. My likeness was being used, they considered me like principal and I became eligible to join the union and, um, that eligibility, once you start putting it on your resume, you know that that that means a little bit and it was just. I want to say it was a lot of preparation and a lot of luck mixed, mixed in both and like opportunities will come around where it would just be like a co-star role on like a TV show. A co-star with a TV show means you'll probably have five lines or less, but you'll probably be in the scene with one of the main characters and so you'll get seen. And I'm trying to remember what my first one was. Was it Dope Sick?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I ended up getting an audition for a TV show called Dope Sick on Hulu, starring Rosario Dawson, michael Keaton wow, the original Batman yeah, yeah, and being directed by Barry Levison, who did Rain man, and I'm on a Zoom call with these people wow, you know so, and get it so as far as to, you know, saying become a domino effect. So you get on one, and a lot of it helps when you market yourself as well. So being able to get these clips and then create a reel and put it out there so people can see it's like oh, this person does this, this and this. Okay, all right, you know, let's, maybe we'll give them a shot.
Speaker 2:And other casting agencies wanted to work with me and sign me. So that happened. I talked to a friend and they hooked me up with a casting agency, a talent agency that they were with, you know, and honestly, maltzby Talent Agency. I got to give them a shout out because if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have. They got me auditions for Godfather, harlem, nice, and that same year, a couple of months later, they sent me an audition for Law Order and later on that year I got auditioned from the same talent agency for All the Queensmen and I booked all of them.
Speaker 1:And Father of Queens is the one All the Queensmen.
Speaker 2:Yeah with Tyler.
Speaker 1:Perry yeah, with Tyler Perry, and that's the one you got like a lot of episodes.
Speaker 2:Nine episodes, nine episodes, that was crazy man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you was telling me. So yeah, let's talk about that, Because you was telling me how the other shows, the way they prep, is not the same as Tyler Perry.
Speaker 2:Now, Tyler shoots fast, man Tyler, mr Perry Sorry, sir, he shoots fast. And I remember I think it was maybe like the third or fourth day. But I remember telling my wife like man, I kind of feel like a fish out of water because I wasn't used to that speed, quickly got used to it and I found that if you were going to pick a moment with your character or some type of option that you wanted to do, make it a strong one and a bold one, because it might be the only one that you get in that take, because they might move on right after that. Unless there's something drastically wrong. They're probably going to move on right after that. Unless there's something drastically wrong, you know they're probably, you know, going to move on. So I learned that because I got comfortable. But the crazy part of it is I was booked on a Thursday, saturday. They sent me like eight episodes and I was on set Monday.
Speaker 1:And you had to learn all of that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean. So you, you get a warm and fuzzy of everything that you know what I'm saying Of, of of the scenes and, um, they'll let you know, like you'll get the call sheet of what they're going to shoot, um the day before, and then you kind of hone in and focus on those because you know you're going to shoot those like the next day. So, luckily for me, I memorize lines like very easily. But it's one thing to memorize. It is another thing to make it believable, you know, since it's a delivery. So I felt like I was able to do that, especially seeing all of the chats and stuff chat rooms on Facebook and even some people who was hosting podcasts after, like, they'll talk about the show.
Speaker 2:It really hated my character, like they hated me. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, just talking about me was such vitriol and I loved it because I'm like all right, I'm doing my job. Yeah, I'm doing my job. So, no, it was great, though, and I saw him like half a second Like came seeing this tall guy. You know what I'm saying. He dapped me up and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:Actually, Just like that.
Speaker 2:And we getting into it. You know, because that man's busy, he's cranking out all these shows, but he still pops over, you know, directs some scenes, maybe you know, maybe a whole episode, but yeah, he shows up for the work. That's dope man.
Speaker 1:What do you think is your favorite episode or favorite show that you've done so far?
Speaker 2:Man, that's tough Because, honestly like so, law Order and working with Tyler Perry both were on my bucket list and they happened in the same year. I had no idea that I was going to when I did Law Order, that I was going to meet you know what I'm saying. Like Mariska, I had no idea and I find myself in the meet. You know what I'm saying, like Mariska, I had no idea and I find myself in the scene. You know what I'm saying with her and she's giving me pointers and stuff like that. It was just the most amazing thing ever. So that's very high on the list, you know, because you know Law Order had been on since the day before forever. I think I was maybe like I can only think you was in somebody's belly when it was still. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I think that joint might have been before me because I remember the 90s. It was New York undercover and Law and Order.
Speaker 2:Oh, New York, kind of yeah, Because you know I ain't had cable dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we had it too, but it was like our you know what I mean, that's all. I had you know what.
Speaker 1:I mean you picking the nook? No, but yeah, man, so okay. So those two, let's talk about this person, this partner that's been there with you through all of this.
Speaker 2:My mother's great. She just my wife.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to bring her into it. She he playing, she taking the earrings off she taking the earrings off. But yeah man, my time in Asia yes, jess, jess is a super dope, um absolutely yeah, no, man, how y'all meet.
Speaker 2:Oh wow, do I get to tell the story? I don't know, I don't like what. What's the rating on your podcast?
Speaker 1:It's whatever.
Speaker 2:It's whatever. So basically this is what happened. Oh, the voice changed, the voice changed. No, so I was, I was, I think I was in Uzbekistan, I can't remember, but I was overseas, I know that much. And she worked with one of my sisters, one of four, overseas, I know that much. And she worked with one of my sisters, one of four, and my sister has this picture of me and my nephew on her desk and he has my Marine Corps barracks cover and stuff like that on and I'm sitting there smiling by him and stuff. And she walked by and apparently, from what I heard, she fainted, you know, passed out.
Speaker 1:Is that true or false?
Speaker 2:oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that's not true, but she saw the picture, she was just like oh, your brother's fine, alright, there we go. So I mean, I heard about this, you know, like later. So you know, I didn't know what was up. But I ended up coming home and I went to my sister's job and stuff like that to see her and just pop up and say what's up, and I think Jessica might've been like in a meeting or something like that. And this is the crazy thing, you know, like after I left I guess everybody was like you just missed him.
Speaker 1:You know like I didn't know.
Speaker 2:you know what I'm saying. Like I mean, that's kind of cool to hear now, but I weighed like 175 pounds. I have confidence now. I didn't have that much back then. I'll be honest about that. He was a twit, he was fine to you, that's all that matters.
Speaker 2:But basically my sister was like, what you want to do? I'm like, well, you know, let's go to dinner. We can go to dinner and stuff like that after work or early dinner, and she wanted to know where I wanted to go. I'm like, well, you know who does this, you know what I'm saying? Or was my favorite wrestler. They got great wings, guys. They do Calm down, they do.
Speaker 1:Calm down. They do no buns, but great wings. That's Great wings, great wings. You hear me? I'm trying to tell you, trying to learn.
Speaker 2:you know, I like their chicken.
Speaker 1:I mean, but this is before Buffalo Wild Wings. Yeah, I didn't know anything about B-dubs or anything like that. Wings, stop, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean I didn't know anything about B-dubs, or anything like that, wingstop, yeah, I mean, I didn't know that stuff. But so, like a bunch of us went over there and she told me later that she didn't even feel like you know, saying like going or anything like that, but she ended up showing up and I remember we pulled up and I looked over and she was like on her phone and as soon as she looked over to me, whoever she was talking to, she was like I got to go. You know you know saying and then she hung.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to tell the story right now.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 2:You know, usually I say she threw the phone out of her car, but no, she hung up the phone and stuff like that and like canceled her service, canceled her service she was like. I don't want nobody calling me.
Speaker 1:You had Singular. Remember it was Singular before AT&T. I used to work for Singular. That's crazy. You used to work for Singular, because I had Singular before they switched to AT&T I used to work for Singular man.
Speaker 2:We not going to talk about.
Speaker 1:No, scratch that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Scratch that. And then you know she was walking up and stuff like that and I'm asking my sister I was like yo, what's the deal with Jessica, what's up, she's single. And she was like I don't know.
Speaker 2:She was like Jessica, you single, and the most thirstiest stuff came out of her mouth. She looked at me. She was like all day, every day, All day, every day, I was like God, dang, yeah. But I'm like, okay, you know what I'm saying. So we go inside, we're sitting at this big you know what I'm saying long table and stuff like that, and my sister was sitting to the right of me. There's an empty seat to the left and then, but there are other people beyond that empty spot and then you got other people on the other side and I'm looking.
Speaker 2:I'm like why is there this huge gap right here? I'm like what? Are y'all afraid to sit by the big bad Marine? What's going on? And I look across the table. Jessica is smiling like she got a hanger in her mouth. You know what I'm saying. Like it's just like the Joker, you know. And she's like you want somebody to sit by. You know what I'm saying? To get over there. Okay, she didn't slide. Oh, I was about to say dang, Jess, she didn't slide, but she did move with haste. You know what I'm saying. Expeditiously, yeah, yeah, she expedited expeditiously, you know what.
Speaker 1:I'm saying so get over there very quick.
Speaker 2:Your lateral movement was fantastic back then. You know enough credit for that and I want to give it to you right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got a lot of movement flowers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but no, she got over there pretty quick and she sat down and stuff like that and I just like you know what I'm saying put my hand down by her hand and stuff, you know.
Speaker 1:Playing handsies, not flissies, and look.
Speaker 2:I'm trying the lady brings the plates down and stuff like that, I'm like no, we'll just have one plate.
Speaker 2:Where we putting these bones at. You know what I'm saying. I didn't even think about that. I didn't even think about that man. But you know, we shared the plate and stuff like that, and afterwards I walked into a car, I think I kissed you on the forehead and I told you I wanted to take you on a proper date, Not Hooters, no, not Hooters. So we set a date and stuff like that, and I think two days later we were supposed to go on a date. It was the next day. I'm sorry, All right, so I'm legit and this is like real. I know it sounds fake, but so I was in Bible class. I was in Bible study and it went long, Because you know you can't put a time limit on the Holy Spirit. No, you can't, you don't do that.
Speaker 1:Especially if it's an older person holding their Bible study.
Speaker 2:Yeah, man, it was a bunch of black people, and that's all you need you know what I'm saying In the basement so it wasn't. You know, yeah, so it was comfortable. God at the time. I'm like God.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying, God you know, come on, and so I ended up getting out of there. I called I'm like yo, you know I'm late and stuff like that, so I apologized. I stopped, bought a bottle of wine to you know what I'm saying as an apology to give to her. How old was you at this time when you buying a? See, I was on the Marine Security Guard program and we have dinner with ambassadors and everything like that. So it changed my whole, Because a nigga like me I wouldn't have thought about no wine.
Speaker 2:I don't need no wine now. I'm like I'll get a nice Pinot Noir. I would have got a MD 2020.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, hey, not the Mad Dog, the MD 2020.
Speaker 2:I think it cost like $2.99 or something like that $2.99 bananas whatever you want, oh not the Come on man.
Speaker 1:You're taking me back. Yo Come on, man Jeez. Or the squeeze bottle pop-off. Wait, what was that? The squeeze bottle $10, military liquor we should get from the PX. You didn't ever get the squeeze bottle. No, I was drinking.
Speaker 2:It was like $5, $10. Hate now, by the way, yeah.
Speaker 1:I can't stand beer. It's only because I drink too much you know too much of it.
Speaker 2:That was in the Marines guys. No, he got a whole bar over there, yeah, but I do, I do, and it stays full though. Full Anything you want, anything you want, anything you want. I don't be getting down like that.
Speaker 1:And he got the seltzers.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'll be running through those tonight. Man man, they had to go get another pack, two packs.
Speaker 2:That's like the third time somebody made a run, right, yeah. But yeah, so I show up and like she looking real comfortable, like we ain't going out no more. You know she was like ain't nothing open, come back to my house, my apartment. I'm like, I'm like all right, you know. So we, we, we, we drive, we go back, I follow her back to her apartment and stuff like that. I'm sitting down and we having a conversation and you know, she, she, she she got on Love and Basketball on Literally literally hit play.
Speaker 1:It was just like Quincy McCall, not the Maxwell, oh you had to set up, you had to set up.
Speaker 2:I was just nah, it was not from the beginning, man, it was the part when they was about to do some stuff, and you know what I'm saying. She looked down. You know what I'm saying. He looked down, he was just like you background. I was like, okay, I see what's happening here. You know what I'm saying Dang man.
Speaker 2:I shan't be molested on this date, wow. So I'm like, all right, she got that going on. We started talking and stuff like that. And in the middle of my conversation, in the middle of talking to her what's that, okay, anyway. In the middle of talking to her, what's that, Okay, anyway. In the middle of talking to her, she may have had a glass of wine, but in the middle of talking to her she decides you know what? I'm just going to kiss this guy while he's speaking. So she just kisses me.
Speaker 2:I'm like oh wait, woman calm down. You know what I'm saying I'm trying to you not kiss me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, all right all right, all right, she said you lied, but she just admitted.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Like I kissed her, you know, I kissed her back, but it did catch me off guard Because, you know, I forgot what I was talking about. I'm pretty sure I was talking about scripture or something like that, you know. And I was like Ephesians, you know. Like she's like I ain't trying to, you know what I'm saying, for most applies what you was, but anyway. So it was very hot up in her apartment At this time. Jessica used to keep her heat on like 97 for some reason, you know. So I was like, and I noticed how this is going to sound, but this is the truth. I said, hey, can I take my shirt off? Oh, you did the tank. You know what I'm saying. I had a t-shirt on under it, I had a whole t-shirt on under it. You know what I'm saying. But it was still like in the background, the skimmy shirt.
Speaker 2:You know that was still going on. No, it was a regular t-shirt, Regular joint. Yeah, and then we still talking stuff like that. And I'm like man, it really is hot in here. Can I take my pants off? Dang you hit her with that. Okay, she said go ahead, but at this time I was still a hooper, yeah.
Speaker 1:I had on basketball shorts.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had on basketball shorts. Yeah, I always got on basketball.
Speaker 1:I always had on basketball shorts?
Speaker 2:I wasn't. No, nothing, man, you know what I'm saying. Do I continue this story? Okay, yeah, let's go ahead and continue it. Yeah, so, and that's how we met, alright cool, cool, cool, cool cool. Oh no, okay, alright, we're going to keep going. Then. So basically I asked her my oh no, okay, all right, we're going to keep going. Then? So basically I asked her my son just walked in. We're going to end the story right here. Guys, you know what I'm saying, won't you?
Speaker 1:be my neighbor, but no how important it is to have a partner when you're going through. You know military and acting career and your career now.
Speaker 2:No, I would not have. I wouldn't have accomplished the stuff that I have thus far if it wasn't for her. You know, and honestly, it's just, there were plenty times, you know, if I'm being honest, there were multiple times where I wanted to quit. Yeah, you know, I mean, this industry isn't for the weak. And it was tough hearing all the no's Like you have to build like tough, like thick skin, and she would send me clips and like text messages and stuff like that, you know, and it was just like memes from Instagram about like how long it took Sam Jack to make it. You know what I'm saying, but he made it, you know, like just all these different things of not quitting, staying the course, you know, and, uh, and, if you like, continue to believe in yourself. Like stuff will pan out. Man, like she was literally pushing me when I was telling myself, like man, this is kind of tough and I just not that it's just being tough, it's just like those no's. It really takes a lot to get over Right and having her, you know, encourage me and then realizing that it's just that's part of the industry. It helped a lot, man, and I mean, even even now we still you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I go through it because, you know, things are still tough. I mean, obviously I want to blow up and just be there, man, but she's always like, hey, you know what I'm saying, it'll happen when it happens. I get these crazy auditions all the time and she's the one that's reading them off screen. You know reading the other lines off screen for me. So, yeah, man, she's been there for it all. I was happy when I was able to take her to like a red carpet and stuff, man, and I don't know like we've sat down and had discussions about that. It's just like I dream about being able to, you know, have her at an award show, you know, and receiving an award and just giving her you know what I'm saying all her flowers, for you know what I'm saying, how she's helped me. But no, it's definitely important, man. I mean, I know people can like go through it without like someone, man, but I don't see how I would have been able to do it without her.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's super dope man, and I think too, man, like you, definitely got to have a partner that's going to motivate you, because sometimes, man, when you're going through it especially Marines too you feel like you can do everything, but you know like they definitely give us that mindset, which I appreciate and I never, never neglect it to keep trying, yeah, but it's like you just keep hitting that wall.
Speaker 1:You're trying to hit the wall and it's like man, like keep hitting that, that, that no wall, like they're telling you, no, you know what I mean and you, as long as you got somebody there, you know what I mean that's going to encourage you to push you. Keep, hey, keep going, keep going. I know, because I seen I think it was. It was like a meme or something I seen where a guy was digging for gold. Right, he dug so far and didn't stop digging and he left and the other guy came and just hit it one time and he struck gold. Yeah, you know what I mean and that's how it is with us. You, as you know what I mean, your acting, career, me, music and everything else, Like we there, we just got to keep digging. You know what I'm saying. We got to keep going and having your partner just you know what I'm saying that's super, super dope man, because I mean, everybody don't get that. You know what.
Speaker 2:I'm saying yeah, you're absolutely right, man. It's like I remember I was doing a lot of. I had auditioned for House of Cards like I don't know how many times, and I did House of Cards fire.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I was an extra in the third season and stuff like that. But I ended up getting super close on the last season and then, you know, saying the whole Kevin Spacey stuff happened and you know, they kind of released a lot of people. So I was at my tipping point at that point, uh, and I really wanted to quit. Um, because before that I had auditioned for, uh, something for Netflix that Pharrell was supposed to be doing and um, uh, it didn't pan out, you know. So all this stuff I thought was going to be you know what I'm saying career changing, it just kept slipping away and I know, like, I know now this is how, like the industry is and it is and it's tough man, but like, literally, she was telling me just keep going. You know, she's like I know, I know, I know, you know what I'm saying you upset, just you know, let's just keep trying.
Speaker 1:It's coming.
Speaker 2:She's like don't, don't, don't. I forgot what you? You kept telling me not to make a rushed decision, because I was like, if I don't get it like I was giving myself, if I don't get it in this year, you're giving emotional deadlines, deadlines.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was giving myself a deadline. She kept telling me not to do that. Had I done that the deadline I was going for I wouldn't have been on any of the shows or any of the stuff that I've done. Man, I'm just glad. I thank you for that baby. I appreciate it. I know you appreciate the residuals.
Speaker 1:Yes, sir, the residuals always look nice. Hey, man, before we get out of here, would you think about would you do a role on Game of Thrones?
Speaker 2:I would love it. I would love it, especially House of Dragon. You know they got black people on that man. They got black people with the Valerians man, with the blonde dreads.
Speaker 1:Yo, that's my show man they said, it's gonna take like a whole another year for the next season to come out see, I haven't even watched the second one.
Speaker 2:It's crazy.
Speaker 1:I heard I just finished it. I gotta get on it.
Speaker 2:I mean, I'm the only person in the house to really get down on this type of stuff for real. Really, je, really she's oh, cap, cap, jess, cap, jess, ain't nothing but a whole baseball cap, a whole cap.
Speaker 1:How you gonna do that.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, that's not true, that is not true.
Speaker 1:What about Vikings? You ever seen Vikings? I haven't watched Vikings.
Speaker 1:Man, you know Vikings is fire, yeah, yeah, it's like. So you remember how like House of Dragons they were, what they were in England, where were they at? So the Vikings, they're from Norway and they're invading England, but they're learning how to like navigate in the sea Ragnar Lothbrok and stuff. And so, bro, you got to watch it. It's super dope. It looked good, man. The amount of like the whole cinematic, everything looks. So I'll watch that any day over like a certain movie. It's done very well, man, and it's like it's just kind of the same thing. Like they got different families, yeah, um, and they got one king, but the way they do things, they don't. They worship the God instead of you know, jesus. Yeah, you know what I mean. So they go to England and they pretty much raid England and the first place they get to is where all the priests at Right. Yeah, so it's crazy, man. Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got to watch it, man he leave, he take one with him back that can speak their language and they become the best of friends and like it's dope man, but it's like they still going back though. So they like going back and forth and he's just a fisherman. He was just a fisherman, but that knew how to. You know what I mean. He had a best friend that was a boatsman, that know how to make boats, and they had to figure out how to like explore land. They never could find land and then they finally had like this little compass and it helped them find that land in England.
Speaker 2:I knew I should have checked.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's dope. There's so many things. I love history. That's why I like you, know what I mean.
Speaker 2:There's so many good shows out there that I need to watch and finish man, finished man, because I still haven't finished Suits.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I haven't even started. Suits is dope.
Speaker 2:Is it?
Speaker 1:Why are you laughing? I'm being honest, I ain't never been like, yeah, I've seen it. Suits is dope and the writing.
Speaker 2:The writing is amazing on that man, and if you have Apple TV+, I ain't trying to plug any type, but you know what I'm saying Presumed Innocent yeah, log in, I'll get your login. Presumed yeah, presumed Presumed Innocent with, uh uh, jay Gyllenhaal uh huh, probably one of the best crime thrillers I've seen in a long time. Presumed. Innocent, yeah, yeah, it's, it's it's dope, like we usually like the binge watch stuff, but we was waiting, like each week it was killing us Killing us to wait that long.
Speaker 1:That's why I hate the House of Dragons, because I actually waited. Normally I wait and binge watch. I watched them every week and I'm like you can't do this to me.
Speaker 2:So my Game of Thrones journey like I was three seasons late I started. I think I watched the first episode and I was like I don't think I'm going to go to sleep tonight because I'm about to watch the rest of these. I just, I just binged it, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:See those type of shows. You have to. Yeah, because it's like you watch it for a week and then you be like man, I need to go back and watch it. What happened at this part?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean. So if you binge it, it goes all the way dope. What's next?
Speaker 2:Thank you. So I just got booked for a feature film, an indie feature film that's filming in West Virginia actually, and I star shooting on the 16th.
Speaker 1:Nice, so I'm excited about that.
Speaker 2:I'll be back on set and I'm excited to be back on set. I've done excited. Yeah, I'm excited to be back on set. I've done a couple other things this year, but it's been mainly, like you know, modeling and some hand modeling. Out of all things, I just never saw that for myself. No, but it's dope man. I mean, I got to meet, that's what you got to do when you do stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Like I did, a Jared jewelry commercial and I was putting, I was putting a necklace around this girl's neck. You know what I'm saying, you know and, and it was just your hands.
Speaker 1:Just my hands, man.
Speaker 2:Dang.
Speaker 1:That's crazy.
Speaker 2:And then I did a Grey Goose one with Francis Tiafoe, the tennis player from Maryland.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, he just lost too, man Shout out to TI Fox, shout out Francis man.
Speaker 2:Really, really, really cool cat man. I got to meet him on that shoot. Nah, man, he's cool, confident, humble, but confident. So, man, it's been dope, but I'm always itching to get back on set, have a screenplay to read and stuff like that. All right, and that's coming up, man.
Speaker 1:So make sure y'all check out CJ man, but before we get out of here we got gym class man, g-e-m the gyms that you can spread throughout the world and give to anybody to take and put in their toolbox. What's a gym you can give to the people out here?
Speaker 2:I guess this one's kind of a personal one, because don't compromise on your morals for believability of success, and what I mean by that is the fact that there were certain of success, and what I mean by that is the fact that there were, there were certain, there was like certain roles that like would come my way and I struggled on whether or not I should do them because morally it didn't, it didn't feel right. Yeah, and I'm just like man, passing on this, I could be shooting myself in the foot, you know what I'm saying. As far as, like, furthering my career, yeah, but I mean, that's just, honestly, you have to be able to sit with yourself, yeah. So if I were to say anything, it would be that, yeah, just make sure, you know, you don't compromise your morals in the process. Man, if you can stay true to yourself and still be able to do your passion and you know, and trace and chase your dream, I think that's the best thing ever, you know. Don't compromise, yeah, don't compromise your morals, I think that's the best thing ever, you know.
Speaker 2:Don't compromise, yeah, don't compromise your morals and definitely don't quit because, honestly, man, the many times that I wanted to stop acting just because of all of the no's and I tell people all the time because they have questions about acting. I'm like, if I tell you how many times I've heard no, it'll discourage you. It'll discourage you from trying, but it's part of the process.
