00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:01.353
(paper slapping)
- What's up?

2
00:00:01.353 --> 00:00:04.131
This is Nelson Estevez and
this is "That's So Random."

3
00:00:04.131 --> 00:00:07.298
(cheerful jazz music)

4
00:00:08.977 --> 00:00:11.400
"You play Alonzo, on
Tyler Perry's 'The Oval'.

5
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.310
What do you enjoy most about
your character and the show?"

6
00:00:14.310 --> 00:00:16.740
Getting to work, getting to go to set.

7
00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:20.460
The show aspect of it,
I do enjoy the drama.

8
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:24.240
Alonzo gets into a lot of
dramatic, risky situations,

9
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:25.837
stuff that I wouldn't do in my real life.

10
00:00:25.837 --> 00:00:27.330
"What made you become an actor?"

11
00:00:27.330 --> 00:00:29.340
Acting I always wanted to dabble in,

12
00:00:29.340 --> 00:00:32.010
even in high school I
wanted so bad to do theater,

13
00:00:32.010 --> 00:00:34.620
but I ended up doing stage
crew for "Spotlight".

14
00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:36.840
So rather than doing something
that I did not want to do,

15
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.690
I'd rather take the risk, take a chance

16
00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:40.957
to do something I wanted to do.

17
00:00:40.957 --> 00:00:42.720
"What other Black show on TV

18
00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:44.400
do you wish you were a part of?"

19
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:46.837
Anything Kenya Barris, I
would like to be a part of,

20
00:00:46.837 --> 00:00:49.117
"Black-ish", "Grown-ish",
all the "ish"-es.

21
00:00:49.117 --> 00:00:51.240
"If you're a big hip hop and R&B buff,

22
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.120
who would you headline and
open up in your dream concert?"

23
00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:56.490
Marvin Gaye. That's all I need to say.

24
00:00:56.490 --> 00:00:58.117
And I just rhymed, so that's pretty cool.

25
00:00:58.117 --> 00:01:00.030
"You've worked on music videos for Fergie,

26
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:02.400
Christina Aguilera, and Musiq Soulchild.

27
00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:04.110
Which was your favorite shoot?"

28
00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:07.200
Ooh, it was Musiq Soulchild.

29
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.600
The song, it was "Buddy".

30
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:13.260
To be in that video and just
to be around him and his vibe,

31
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:14.093
it was fun.

32
00:01:14.093 --> 00:01:14.926
"You're from New York City.

33
00:01:14.926 --> 00:01:18.000
Name a food and place you miss
most about your hometown."

34
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.790
They have patties out here, but
they do not have Coco Bread.

35
00:01:20.790 --> 00:01:23.227
Some people don't even
know what Coco Bread is.

36
00:01:23.227 --> 00:01:26.430
"What song can you not
help but sing out loud

37
00:01:26.430 --> 00:01:28.707
when it comes on? Can
you sing a bit of it?"

38
00:01:28.707 --> 00:01:31.677
♪ I'ma leave the door open ♪

39
00:01:31.677 --> 00:01:35.017
♪ I'ma leave the door open girl ♪

40
00:01:35.017 --> 00:01:37.410
"Who is your Hollywood crush?" (laughs)

41
00:01:37.410 --> 00:01:42.043
Regina Hall. Holler at me. (laughs)
