She Calmed His Grief (5 min elevated continuous)

Project Details

The key here is connection and having each others back. This is what knocks down walls. In the 2000s I studied teams like Shyamalan and Willis, Denzel and Lee, Scorsese and Depp and now Coogler and Jordan. Just to put it into perspective, how many actors have the pleasure of a mentor such as Coogler creating a complex character for them? I mean Ryan conceived a character of twins for his muse. That idea grossed 400 million on a 90 million budget. Now they are the center of attention during awards season. As a duo, they can write the next chapters of their Hollywood story in big bold letters. Ryan knew every movement and ability of Jordan because they spent time together. I promise you 99 percent of the struggling actors out there DO NOT get the importance of connection. I tried to connect with my 3rd potential muse who to be honest had all the makings of a megastar. I just think he didnt understand my energy. My need to be in his presence. How much he was inspiring me. Michael and Ryan understood it and They had each others back. They formed a bond and made Sinners the biggest original pop success in the history of Hollywood for two black men. Ryan was able to draw Michael perfectly in the image of Smoke and Stack (the characters Michael B Played in the movies). In 2026, this is not typical. Its rare and the two have taken that rarity to unprecedented heights. When the last muse and I was in rehearsal for a live show, I would leave and go sit in a parking lot by the the Beverly Center. This is where Michael Jackson filmed his ICONIC OFF THE WALL album cover. I would sit there as a form of meditation, bridging the icon and the future superstar in my mind. I was flooded with creativity and it was threatening to crash in my head. It was there I would bring it together and calm it down. One of those trips I conceived an idea of putting that muse into a prestigious theater in Spain Called the Teatro Real. I wanted to create the friggin biggest buzz for him in this venue and come back to LA where Hollywood could not ignore what we had done over there. He never knew how much he really inspired me. A friend who comes to all my shows and productions and understands the depth my passion called it. He said my energy scared and confused him. Do you feel sadness that Michael B and Ryan manifested an idea or vision that was in your head longer than they knew one another? Hell no. I thank GOD for this all the time.. the fact that I am not a jealous person. Honestly I have thanked him often. I champion those two. I am their biggest supporters. Sure my first real attempt at a muse was 2011, coincidentally by a guy who reached out to me last year our of the blue and admitted that he just wasn't ready. But to answer your question I have no sadness at all. I am proud. I actually have some contentment in the fact that if it never happens for me, I did see it happen the way I would have wanted it done. I have had over 1000 people within the last year send me incredible nites wanting to be my muse. I hung out with some as groups. My girl and stepson accompanied me and we met up with a group at Tarantino's movie theater in Hollywood to see Hitchcock's Vertigo. Educating new actors on greatness is important to me. I also took a group to the Academy Museum Hollywood just to hang around them and catch a vibe.See if I was inspired. See if I inspired them. Some did inspire me but some were also impatient. Its a process. To turn someone into the world biggest star (chuckles) you have to have patience and focus. I am the king of patience. I have been on this journey since I was a kid. But my day will come, I will find the right fit like Ryan did. If I don't, it wasn't meant to be You seem passionate and emotional? I am man. I have been treated so bad in this journey. Actors sometimes can be the most self serving people on earth. But God knows my heart and I continue to create.
