The actor was explaining why he treats every audition like a real job, after leaving football feeling he had something left to prove. This is his closing thought on staying motivated.
Yeah.
You're talking about God. That might be God. Like, nah, you know what this feels like. Thank you left something on the table.
…People be like, oh, I'm tired of auditioning, or I don't book this on. But I'm like, bro, I have fun in my auditions. I had extras in my auditions. I do, because this is my work and this is my form. And I go above and beyond. I go buy stuff auditions. You know what I'm saying? Because I want to, you know what I mean? I really want to build whatever it is and have fun with what I'm doing because a lot of people lose the why. They start just doing it and now they feel like obligated or they feel trapped, but they don't remember why you started. And I remember why I started acting was it was fun. You know what I mean? So keeping it the main thing.
I love that, man. I was so fired up, though. You hit me back and said, you do this. Take the time. I'm glad we're able to get it done. The cool part about this for me is I know there's so much more for you to do that we'll sit down and have another conversation.
Yes, sir.
About where this career is taking you, but most importantly, where God is taking. Taking you because of that belief, man. You are a dope, dope young dude, bro. So I appreciate you and I appreciate your time. Man, cocoa butter. Cocoa butter.
