who who watches this so it goes on our YouTube channel and also on gq.com it's got pretty big viewership I feel like your episode is going to be a particularly special episode millions of viewers make up 40 minutes worth the sh to say p fiction jwes Winfield you know what they call a quarter pound of a cheese and France no tell them Vincent Royale with cheese Royale with cheese you know why they call it that uh because of the metric system check out the big brain on bread I had audition for Reservoir Dogs and didn't
get it cuz I auditioned with Quinton and Lawrence bender and they were horrible so I saw him at Sundance at the first screening of Reservoir Dogs and he said oh how' you like the guy who got your part so he remembered me I was like you remember me yes yes yes I'm writing something I'm send it you'll get it I did get the script like two weeks later and it came in a little brown bag with some gangsters on the front of it and said if you show this to anybody we'll find you and kill
you so and I read it I was like really I couldn't believe it I just flipped it over and read it again immediately okay if they shoot this movie and let it be what it is right here on the page it's GNA be awesome but we didn't shoot exactly what was on the page but we still got through for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children and I will strike down upon thee with great Vengeance and Furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers and you will know
my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee if I want to change something I'll write it show it to him and he either okay it or say no I've been allowed to change things to but I don't do it in front of other people in Pulp Fiction in the original script in the diner when Tim first comes over and he asks about the briefcase he opens it up when he opens it I shoot honey bunny off the bar and then I shoot his ass and kill him they do a cut and
I open my eyes and that's what I would have done before I got that Vision in the house of like don't kill anybody he's still standing there so that's not there and the script John shot the kid in the back seat in the throat so he's choking on the bullet while we're having this argument and then he finally blows his head off in the back seat it's all because you know he he was pissed cuz he didn't tell us about the kid in the bathroom people come of age and their parents let them watch it
for the first time and it's still like it's the coolest they've ever seen their lives so I'm good with that I mean there people who do whole their whole careers and nobody remembers any anything a lot of things I say in movies people still say to me so I don't know if it's me I don't know if it's the the writing my favorite line from PP fiction is what country you from what ain't no country I ever heard of they speak English and what I like that little segment Star Wars mace wendu I was on
some chat show in London and they asked that question now they directors you you never work you want to work with I like well I knew George was doing Star Wars I was like I like being Star Wars that was it May the force be with you I was in Vallejo shooting sphere which is like right down the street from the ranch and I got a message said George Lucas here you want to be in Star Wars you want to come to the ranch and talk to him I was like yeah we meet and I'm
like look I just really just want to be in one of your movies you know it's like look seriously I'll be a stormtrooper and he's like come on me I don't really know what you do but I know you can do something more than that so I go back I shoot sphere blah blah blah hanging out in summer I get a call said George wants you now it's like boom put on a plane to London I get there uh the girl takes me upstairs in this room she said this will be your dressing room I'll
be right back and I'm looking around it's like so there's like some boots and there's like you know a rogue like I wonder whose dressing room this is and then they come in and they give me some sides you me like four pages so it's like mace wendu uh Yoda I must be this mace Wu dude because there's nobody else talking but him and Yoda so okay awesome so he's a friend of Yodas who was that then they come in and they start putting the on me say put on the boots Put I'm like I'm
a Jedi and they're like yeah then I go downstairs and dude comes over with a Hal Burton and it's like opens it it's like lightsaber handles like like oh they say pick one get that one okay got hooked them on my belt and like Jedi and at the time Yoda was still a puppet so they put me in another room and I'm in there with Frank and all his people while they figure out how Yoda's body is going to move while I'm having this conversation with him and I'm just like what the hell what is
this this is crazy I never pull my lightsaber out the whole first episode I'm sitting in chairs and pontificating and doing George like me he was like wow you perfect you come to work ready to go you hit your marks and we became really great friends you know after that that's the beginning of me and Star Wars you know I do that saying and then I you know I say to myself okay I got to make sure I don't do anything to piss him off because I don't want him to kill me [Music] M SW
is Not Dead come on you that's why I keep telling I said you know that's a long history of people in the Star Wars world with one hand one arm you know and they're still you know around here kicking ass and Jedi can fall from Great Heights without dying come on it's like I've been fortunate I've done these big old movies that you know people go see like you know Jurassic Park even though I got killed in Jurassic Park I I well they say I got killed hold on to your butts I still got this
thing in my head where you know dudes got one arm he's around there riding around on Velociraptors he's he's made peace with them and figured out how to use them to his advantage or whatever but I was supposed to go to Hawaii and shoot but then the sets got destroyed so they just threw my arm on the wall or on the floor wherever the and was like I didn't get to make that trip I was like but I still say I don't know if he's dead cuz you didn't see him killing you just found a
body part oh Mr Arnold D Jango Unchained Steven so I did the mountain top right before I did D Jango so I went from playing Martin Luther King to Steven the most beloved black man on the planet to the most despicable negro in cinematic history that's who the hell you calling snowball horse boy I'll snatch your black ass off that n down Quinton likes rehearsal so it's kind of cool so I enjoy it too cuz like doing theater when we first started rehearsing this stuff you know with me and Leo and Kristoff you know and
Jamie in that room at the at the dining table you know we were just trying stuff and doing stuff so that whole thing of me kind of mimicking Leo was just like a lark you I was just bullshitting one day let me try this so he'll say something that's right that yeah right do that do that that yeah and Jamie was falling on floor laughing he didn't know what to do and Quinton was like what is what is that what now that you done it I got to keep it it's like good I was there
from the from the beginning like I told you when I read it when I finished reading it and I said you know this what you want me to be it's on the page but you haven't seen him you've just ridden him you haven't seen him so are you ready for what this is going to be and he's like whatever you bring you bring it so I brought it I believe if you don't give up in the next 10 seconds we going to blow this bitch's brains out believe that happened in Django like dining room scene
was over and we're downstairs and they're trying to sign a contract and Kristoff shoots Leo and then gets shot all of a sudden you out of knowwhere quinton's like we need another gunfight cuz that gunfight was not there when Leo dies in my arms or whatever somebody then grab Jango then Quinton decided it was going to be a gun gunfight so we were off the next two weeks while they tore that house up the big ass gunfight that's not in the script you know sometimes it's like in the Heat of the Moment you know something
happens it was great too because I would say 30% of the audience didn't realize it was me till we got in the house cuz there were other things happened too it's like there's a scene Jamie and I had a scene in the house when I took Kristoff to his room when they first get there when I take him in the room and I tell him yeah you do what you want to do and room cuz we going to burn everything up and throw it away anyway and he slaps me he slaps me down threatens to
like strip me naked and whip me all over the plantation Calvin ain't going to let you do that that's the setup between me and him that they didn't use in the movie so by the time we get to the point where he's hanging upside down in that Barn I have a whole speech that's kind of not there where I tell him you know I've been on this Plantation for ex number of years and seen this that and the other done to all these slaves around here and ain't nobody ever put their hands on me to
you and then I started using that hot poker to burn parts of his body like I want to about to kill you I mean you evil enough you just like we keep that in the movie yeah people are going to hate you and something will happen I I'll be responsible I was like come on man you backing out of your own your own this is your and you don't want to do it I'm willing I'm here doing it this the story let's get it I always thought he was going to put a director's cut out
and keep it cuz we did shoot it snakes on the plane never fln I saw it in the trades I called Ronnie I was like so are you doing a movie called snakes on the plane he's like yeah I like what is it he's like well poison snakes get loose on a plane I said oh can I be in it he's like seriously I was like yes I don't give a you can bite me first I just want to be in it and he called Newan and they like you want to be in the movie
I'm like yeah yeah so okay you got it two months later he gets fired so I'm like but you still want to do the movies yeah are the snakes still on the plane we still doing yeah sure I'll do it weapons we have to have weapons where's the silverware well we don't we don't have any silverware all we have is this sporks the movie went smoothly it was fine it was just when we got there it was like Tero on on flight 272 or some and I'm like what is this well you know we don't
want to give it away I'm like this the point what's wrong with you people this Snakes on a Plane if it's not snakes on the plane I'm not shooting the inch of this movie I'll go home right now and it was like next day we had new new seats with snakes on the plane what the they were trying to make a PG13 movie and you can only have you know like one or some like that in it and I told him like look I got to say in this movie it's it's snakes all over this
plane and they're like ah Sam we TR come on no okay fine we WAP they test the movie test the movie and then all of a sudden it's like we got to do a re-shoot cost them a bunch of money to get that I have had it with these snakes on this plane everybody strap in I'm about to open some Windows Jackie Brown orell Roby ordell is the kind of guy you might you know you can go out with ordell and have a good time Dam I'm going to have to remember this place that's all
right you just can't cross him don't piss him off you know you can't go out with stepen and have a good time he's a little bit nastier than ordell but I like ordell where can I put my ash curious how you guys found the look for ordell it's so specific and unique we had big argument about that my idea for ordell was you know a dude who like perms his hair but sometimes he don't have enough money to get it done or he he kind of negligent so it's kind of messed up around the edges
straight in the back and quinton's like know let me think so I talked to my hairdresser Robert and I said look have have the wig maker make a wig that look like this blah blah blah so we had so we made the wig and then we made the braid the Chinese sprayed you know goatee and did the so they were having a production meeting one day and I was there for fitting of some sort and I put the wig on I went through to get get some coffee from a table while they were having that
production meeting and they were like hey hey hey hey hey who are you why you in here and I walked over to the table I was like what the and they were like oh I said orell okay I like it long kiss Good night Mitch Hennessy you know Mitch was just totally a kind man but all of a sudden he meets this person that he wants to give his all to that lets him know that there's something inside of him that he didn't even know is there yeah are you okay m is your neck all
right you don't have any Whiplash or anymore what being with Gina it was like a road movie I had such a great time with her and she was so giving we kind of loved each other in a way while we were doing this movie that was like very different from a whole bunch of other relationships that you have with people when you work with them uh plus you know the temperature was like - 37 every day when we jumped out of that window that train station and went into that Lake and I was so glad
that I ended up with all the clothes from this other character so I had like sweaters on and hats and pants and stuff I just stuffed myself with clothes and Ry let me do that so I was finally warm and and you know the transition from the school teacher to Charlie Baltimore was like awesome who the are you my name is Charlie this spy nice to meet you drink the script was like crazy crazy good I remember when I read it and I kept trying to get an audition in Newland and they were like you
know the character is actually white so I'm like just a dude come on I went to a Christmas party somewhere and there was reny and Gina I like hey they won't let me audition for your movie Ry was like you want to be in my movie I like yeah he said you have it he like really just like that so boom and all of a sudden I was in the movie excuse me do you normally curse this much your character died in the original script right but oh I died yeah I totally died when I
come out of that truck and I get her and get in the car and take her home with the kid yeah totally died but then when they were testing the movie The Audience was like no that was like the main comment Mitch Hennessy Cann I die so like a week before the movie came out we shot all that other stuff with me being interviewed you know doing all that thank God you live because we get that Larry King interview at the end where you get to say that in some states you're Frank and some earnest
earnest Frank and Earnest I'm always Frank and Earnest with women uh in New York I'm Frank in Chicago I'm earnest I thought that was the corniest joke ever it's like but for Mitch it works though the Marvel Cinematic Universe Nick Fury I knew I had a nine picture deal when Kevin said that I was like we want to offer you a nine picture deal I was like how long I got to stay alive to make nine movies not the quickest process in the world and people don't do it so I didn't know they were going
to make nine movies in like two and a half years it's just kind of crazy it's like oh I'm using up my contracts it's like ah but uh it worked out they'll come back you really sure about that I am why because we'll need them to my favorite Nick Fury moment uh as Winter Soldier when he's in that car I mean that's like quintessential Nick Fury it's like okay no Panic just cool figuring out you know let's make the next move make the next move make the next move you know bad ass badass now when
are we going to get to see Nick Fury and wakanda I know you were [Laughter] looking all of us were doing that it was like all the black people in the in the in the Marvel Universe was trying to figure out why can't we go to wakanda was me Don and Anthony Macky but they made it you know they got to go fight I still didn't get there well I thought that about Civil War when the kids were fighting I said the kids are fighting and I'm not going to go and make them go to
their rooms how's that make sense hey Fila major Warren did you know my son I know the day he died do you no you want to know what day that was yes the day he met me that's a great cast and amaz cast so once again we rehearsed a lot weeks of rehearsal you know I mean it was Blazing hot and we were in the parking lot in a stage coach rehearsing those goddamn scenes in a stage coach we sat around that table and ate stew and talked about that for days and days and days
and because he was shooting it in 70 it was like you're always on camera so when you finding things to do in there you got to find things to do that are appr propo to who you are and what you're trying to accomplish while we're doing doing but you also got to be a part of what's going on over there or over here over there we were always together and you know when we had breaks and the relationships just became so entwined and wonderful I mean I just had I just got a text from the
hater chain a couple days ago because the hater chain still goes on you know we still texting where are you where's everybody Walt here and Kurt's there JJ L is here andah so we're still in touch with each other that way Tim and I have a really great relationship because I was in the first I guess American movie Tim did we've been close since then so it's a really close-knit group of people it's artistic respect and we all found you know that our love of what we do and how we do it and how we
approach it takes us to another place even with Damian I am calling you a liar Senor Bob it was just a magical kind of connection between the whole group of Us in there that lasts to this day you know you do movies with people you guys you know you do movies you hang around with each other for like two months and then you're gone relationships don't form that way or stay that way but for some reason this particular group of people did and we do we stay in touch with each other you still got it
I still got what the Lincoln letter doing rehearsal and everybody talking about that letter and I was like so when are you going to write the letter and he was like write it like what I went out and wrote it brought it back perfect like really am I getting a writing credit no A Time to Kill Carly drawn to that particular role cuz I read the book and liked it a whole lot I had a daughter at the time was very uh poignant moment and say I'm doing something that represents what I would probably do
if somebody did this to my daughter so I went into it with that intention Carl Le has to kill these guys because he has to let his daughter know that they're no longer around so the world is safe for her when the movie came out was when I realized that okay editing is very interesting process that now it looks like I killed these dudes and I started plotting a way to get away with it which was never the intention so things changed that's what I learned to say the directors when they go well why don't
we try it this way nope I don't get to go to the editing room and you do so we're going to do the thing that you like first and not the thing that I like so who knows what that's going to be the first thing I did in that movie I go to the office and I tell the story what happened to my daughter it happens to be the same speech that gets told to the jury at the end of the movie call for you over and over but you didn't never come first time I
saw it it wasn't there they say to me well you know you can't have you tell a story and then have the story told again at the end so you got a daughter Jake what would you do cuz I remember the day I did it in the room crew was crying and director was crying everybody is like yeah I killed it and then I get there and it's gone another one of those things that you know when you figure out that that Prize or the thing that they dangle at you is not why you do
something or when you're in it when you finish it you can look at it and say to yourself ah they going to they're going to recognize me for that you know piano lesson do care you know my relationship with this play is you know an interesting one I was the original boy Willie but I was only the original boy Willie because Charles Dutton who was supposed to be boy Willie was doing crocodile dunde 2 or some I did it at Yale and then then they uh went on the road and they came back and I
was the underst study on Broadway it was pretty much the Catalyst for my heart addiction when um I was really just you know out of my mind because I wanted to do it and it was on Broad way and I'm listening to Charles do it and it's not the way I did it so it's was different so I totally thought I was the best boy Willie has ever been done and I'm listening to somebody else to it and then you know he wants a Tony for doing it and I'm like a so I'm like smoking
more and more and more cocaine making myself crazy until um I my wife founds me passed out on the floor and then she calls one of my my best friend from high school who got me U into a drug facility cuz he was a counselor in Upstate New York so it was a catalyst for me getting clean and becoming whatever it is I am now cuz the first thing I did after rehab was Jungle Fever two weeks out of rehab I'm still detoxing when I did Gator so Gator didn't really need makeup that was just
me that particular role wovie Goldberg was on the jury at can she convinced them to create a best supporting actor award at the can film festival only one still the only one so I got that which uh kind of opened the door hurry up come on hurry up hurry up all those kids and Denzel and paeta are really close to us you know we've known them forever you know and um I talk to Malcolm and I give him sneakers that I don't wear you know cuz he likes him so I've known him John David great
kid Olivia all of them you know they're just they're like family so doing this with him was great cuz his vision is very different than what latan was when we did the play so it's an experience for me to you know open myself to another experience of doing this play in a whole another way than it's been done he's such a gentle and sensitive soul in a way that he perceives the world a world without you know sharp edges he's just this nice guy he don't he don't believe in all this craziness that goes on
around him you know or he doesn't lay in it so listening to him talk about the play and how we had to approach it as a cinematic Venture was totally different but a worthwhile exploration of how you as an actor or me as an actor I don't usually give myself up to directors because of the experience I had with time to kill but I remember when I first started acting and College theater is a dictatorship and the dictator is the director they tell you where to go they tell you what to do they tell you
how to think sometimes you have to bring certain things with you that they mold or tell you to throw away and tell you to keep these particular things and I had to go back to that to kind of do doer in a different way than I had ever seen him done when I was Boy Willie watching car play him to when I did it on Broadway and had to react to Boy William a specific way to cinematically watch what I had to do as doer in this film because of the way Malcolm was molding the
characters around me we had a different Bernice had another Danielle Danielle deweer was like Beast of an actress that brought another kind of energy that I'd never seen before as bernes that Malcolm had to figure out how to harness and blend with all these other cuz there were like four of us that had already done the play so we had another we had to blend in another kind of way but she broke us and we had to reblend in another kind of way because of Malcolm and because of her and because of Corey uh who
came in uh to be the preacher so it a different experience uh and I'm glad I had it and I'm glad I had it with him it was hard some days me sitting at home thinking about what we were doing and how we were going cuz you know I trusted the other way so much that coming in and having to trust Malcolm in that way was me giving up something that I don't normally give up but I'm glad I did fight night Frank moton gentlemen I trust y'all had a smooth flight want to welcome yall
to Atlanta say Mr Cadillac Mr Lamar of course Mr M listen whatever you gentleman need while you here in Atlanta I'm your man who are you I was in Atlanta I was going to college I was at morouse college so and I had lived I'd been in Atlanta since like' 66 so 71 the robbery happened yeah I was there I knew the fight was happening I couldn't afford to go so I didn't go to the fight but I had friends who were like in the world and doing in the streets so they were at that
party got robbed and stripped of their clothes and everything and uh party actually happened like a block and a half from where my wife grew up so it was her neighborhood and she had a cousin who was one of the first 23 cops hired in Atlanta who became chief of police at certain point Elgen Bell and she had another Uncle who was a cop so we were kind of getting worried on what was going on around there you know there a lot of Mythology around it you know once so and so was there and they
got robbed and somebody took so and so's fur coat and and how much money did they get and then people start popping up dead or anybody who popped up dead in the first two weeks after that robbery was like well you know they were part of their robbery so you know any street street stuff happen you know so there was a lot of mythology about it going around so it was a big deal detective Hudson that's my name son Don's the only one I'd ever actually worked with before and I love doing stuff with Don
he's a great scene partner and you know very smart actor and I've known teren since he was a kid look forward to working with him turned out to be everything I thought it would be he was great and receptive open a very good scene partner also Taj had known she was always saying we got to do something together you man you going put me in a movie and I like I don't put people in movies I just work you know so it was great to work with her she uh comes with an honesty that's you
know genuine and real Kevin and I was supposed to do something years and years ago I always tell a story about him he cost me a bunch of money cuz we didn't do that movie so I told him he owes it to me cuz he called me say I'm working on my brand and I got an opportunity to do a movie with the international star and I was like the you think he was calling I said yeah all right man go ahead boom boom and he goes off and does this movie and he does become
this little you know this International kind of brand still is he's a hardworking kid working with Kevin was was great I watched him do all this comedic stuff and now he wanted to like you know kind of change the trajectory of how people perceive him as an actor so he's stretching out with some pretty heavyweight people around so only thing I told Kevin before we started to work together was you know every time you see me you got to think I'm going to kill you and he pretty much pulls that off
