I get that all the time. Like, oh, yeah, that's really cool. My wife isn't impressed by mostly anything. The only thing my wife wants to do, and I've never been able to do it, is meet Larry Bird. That's her whole, like, her whole... I could tell her I met anybody. I could say Nelson Mandela came back and was talking to me, and she'd be like, oh... It's interesting. I actually can make that intro.
You can make it into the Larry Bird? All right, man. If you can, we'll do it. That's all she wants to do.
No.
Okay, okay. I've got to learn to swim, though. I really do.
Every time I get an application, it's like, who's your employer? I am. And you write the IRS nice checks every year too, right? Exactly right.
Look, I would say to you, and I would say it directly, you have to stay engaged with what you do. Like things may change or you'll find different pivot points, but you have to stay engaged because you have to stay interested in what you're doing. And the more interested you are, the more success that you'll have. You'll just have to keep going.
And your interest will be the thing that drives you to keep going. So stay in there. Keep trying. Keep working on it. Keep building. Every time you get someplace else, you want to get another place, right? So just keep doing it. But you really have to, like, enjoy what you're doing. And I don't mean like, I'm laughing and giggling.
I mean, you have to really enjoy the process, right, of creating and building and doing something new all the time. Okay.
The most important question.
You've maybe been asked it before, too. Okay. Where's Walt? Right. Okay. So here's the thing. Walt is out here in California. He's a rapper. He's so good. Yeah. He got off the island. Malcolm Kelly. I love Malcolm Kelly. Malcolm's a rapper. Do you guys stay in touch? We have seen each other now and again throughout the years.
In fact, we did one of these Comic Cons where we signed things, and I had him there and also the young man who plays my son now. Okay. And so it was really kind of dope to have them both there. And we just took pictures together. So I see him once in a while. I follow him on social media. I'm really proud of him for all the stuff that he's doing.
I'm going back to the fourth season of From, and that's been a really amazing journey. We've been producing a film called Slay the Dreamer that we finally, I think, got fully greenlit. My buddy Lawrence Fishburne is going to be in it, Jeremy Irons, Anthony Hopkins. We've got all these really great talent. That's going to be in it.
We are on tour with Sable Bourbon that I'm doing with my buddy Taye Diggs and Morris Chestnut and Malcolm D. Lee. And we are just in the mix, just like doing a bunch of new things, like putting new projects together and just, like I said, staying creative. It's not easy, but we're just staying in.
It's doing really good. It's doing really, really good. When we first shot the show, you know, we were like, um, I don't know, this is really scary to me and it's kind of cool, but like, I don't know. I mean, people might like it. And then people just started loving it. And I was like, whew, I thought I was crazy, which we've talked about already. Yeah.
But, yeah, lots of people are really digging it now. I was at the doctor's office the other day, and the doctor came out of the door to get somebody else. He goes, Boyd is in the house. I was like, oh, that's weird.
Got it. Where is this going? And that's the thing we were talking about earlier about connecting with people. We have a lot of characters in that thing, and they connect with different people and different points. So many people can see themselves as Boyd or as Sarah or as Donna or any of the characters, and that's what keeps people coming back.
It's not just, oh, this is scary, because you can see yourself. It's really good writing. Really, really good. I really like it.
