We went to his room in the hotel we were staying in and he played us Episode 10. It's interesting because we were on tour in Chicago and Dave Andron, the showrunner, called me Amin Joseph, who plays Uncle Jerome and Isaiah John, who plays Leon. With the new season premiering tomorrow, can you tell us your thoughts on the controversial Season 3 finale? As long as she's proud, everything else doesn't matter.Ħ. But the biggest similarity between me and Franklin is our importance of valuing family and truly seeing our mothers as our queens and our be-all and end-all. I would've turned around there and that would have been the end of my run in the cocaine industry. In Season 1 when Franklin heads to Avi's house and Rob wants him to get that first coke and he hears that gunshot when he walks to the door. Actually, you know what, not even before the first beatdown. I'd say the biggest difference between me and Franklin is I would have given up after that first beatdown. Besides the obvious, what's the biggest difference and biggest similarity between you and your character Franklin?
Every role I do, there's always someone there who makes me say, "Yeah, I'm gonna know you forever." So yeah, I definitely keep those relationships strong through the work.ĥ. Everyone on Snowfall, of course: from Andrew Scott on Black Mirror Sanaa Lathan on Twilight Zone to Kate Beckinsale on Farming.
I've been really fortunate to work with some amazing people who I stay in contact with. Do you feel like you have made solid friends in the industry that you can call on, no matter the time or place? Speaking of people who make you happy, the show also focuses a lot on friendship. So for me going forward, every role I do and the people I work with, I want them to be people who make me happy, because that's what John told me.Ĥ.
#SNOWFALL RAPE SCENE MOVIE#
So in a nutshell, sometimes people do movies for the money and fame, but John taught me that the best time to do a movie is because it's compulsion - because it makes you happy. One thing I took away from working with John was to always do stuff that you enjoy. As an actor, he would push you to do your best. It was fantastic working with John Singleton, because he was a master at his craft and he was someone I respected dearly from the countless amazing movies he's done, like Boyz n the Hood, Baby Boy, and Poetic Justice. What was it like working with him and what did you value most about the experience? You mentioned John Singleton earlier and I know it hit all of us extremely hard when he died. I can't tell you which ones happened this season (laughs), but there are definitely moments like that when Franklin has to take someone's life and, behind the scenes, Damson and that actor maybe shedding a tear.ģ. So, yeah, there have been times when we've hugged it out and people have cried, because people are about to be killed. As a show that has a crew and cast that we all love, when someone has to go, it's almost like losing a family member. You know, the thing about the show is John Singleton would always call it a ghetto Game of Thrones, because you never know when someone's going to go. Was there ever a scene that you felt was hard to shoot because it was too gruesome? Your character Franklin is involved with, and surrounded by, a lot of violence. So just seeing him around and seeing the crew being all excited that Snoop Dogg was in the building, that was one of my favorite moments from the season.Ģ. That's one of the biggest approvals that I always wanted for the show, with regards to authenticity.
We managed to knock out around three or four episodes in February, and I called up Snoop Dogg, and he came to set. One of my favorite behind-the-scenes moments in Season 4 happened right before we broke for COVID-19. Congratulations on the new season of Snowfall! What was one of your favorite behind-the-scenes moments?
