There are a lot of limitations and stigmas that are placed on young actors, specifically young black actors.

There was this rapper from New Orleans, Mystikal, who when I hear his music, I hear myself. Whenever I wanna get hyped, I put on Mystikal.

I got a job as soon as I graduated from school. I always wanted to bartend because I love listening to people and how awful their lives are.

If the acting don't work out, I'll have a future in construction.

I would love to be a superhero.

The great thing about it is, in Hollywood, certain people are very good at keeping their lives and who they are very private. I've never met anybody as down to earth and cool in Hollywood than Matt Damon.

I did this movie with Spike Lee called Sucker Free City, and that would have to be my favorite role by far. It was just so much fun to work with Spike and shoot in San Francisco.
