Very underrated actor, I met Clifton Powell on set of Father of Lies in 2007. The cast included, Vica Fox and DMX. All were very down to earth people. The same game he's giving in this interview he gave to me. He's a stand up guy!✊🏿
I hope you applied what he taught you bro. Cause he literally gave you a one-on-one clinic for FREE as a professional actor. You ain't gone run into that often
4 points that I gained, from this conversation: Preparation is key- Prepare for the inevitable- Remain consistent- And, you can’t sleep your way, “to the top”.
@@rmccaindet YES! Beats, units, and tempo are vital when scoring the script. Clifton literally taught a master clinic for FREE while I'm paying college tuition at TRI-C to learn the same thing. I hope up and coming actors really paid attention to this
I put Clifton Powell up there with Denzel Washington and Will Smith. I've always told people that Clifton Powell is one of my favorite actors of all time. When Charles Dutton and Clifton Powell played their roles on the show Roc those episodes sent chills though my body 💯
Clifton Powell is the reason I just finished my first semester of Theater Appreciation and Acting 1. When he said "get your training" I never forgot that. In the spring, I'll be taking Acting 2 and Acting for the Camera 1. I'm on winter break now.
I’m not an actor or engraved in that career field at all, but this information was very vital to any career that an adult who is looking for their next step of their life. If your career field feels stagnant just keep putting in the work and grow as a person!
This man encouraged me to dust off my chops and audition more. I’m trained and have been doing regional stuff here and there but this is a reminder to stay the course! 🙏🏾
same here i been trying to get acting lessons for two after i got a lead role on a movie by my looks lol for that day but its all good i was a singer for 20 yrs signed to def jam my group as a cop now im still trying to get back in industry baltimore stand up
So glad I stumbled onto a clip on acting by him on social media. Would have never known how serious he was about his craft. He's keeping it VERY real in this interview and drops a ton of science on the craft of acting.
Pierre why you had to call out Little Rock, Arkansas??? Lol, thank both of you so much for this episode. It’s very much appreciated, so many gems and FOR FREE. I learned a lot and laughed about “my little parts in my Little Rock, Arkansas plays”. This episode was like I was right in the room having the conversation with y’all personally.
Mr Powell is so appreciate, beloved and respected by us he has had an Amazing career and is a success he is a man of great character not only the characters he plays but his character as a man is what keeps him blessed always willing to work with ppl and never believing the hype We all need to be taking notes on this wonderful Human thank you P for sharing this Legend with us Happy Holidays 🙏💪❤
This interview is important, because people have no idea, how PAINFUL the journey is. I've been homeless twice since pursing a life in the arts. It's a beautiful struggle. Not everyone is built for it.
I remember seeing Mr. Powell in House Party (1990). To date, he is still my favorite actor. Mr. Powell's self-discipline and devotion to training for success are inspiring. Regardless of your profession, his counsel is crucial.
We need more podcasts-video interviews putting out this knowledge and experience for the greater good. Double backed on this video, to regain insights which are relevant to apply across industries and vocational disciplinary fields.
maannn clifton wus dropping some real deep shyt with the whole memorizing a scene like a beat thing around the 17:20 mark. It actually makes a great deal of sense because what your capturing is a vibration really in a nutshell and its all relative. Coach Phil jackson eluded to something like this with the Bulls team he coached. you add meditation ect it works that much better
Best epis🎯de hands down. Facts on Facts. Solidified my thoughts on his commitment to his craft and the truth about the industry. And funny as hell. #DCstandUp #DMVLove 👊🏽 ✌🏾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I never have seen him in any interview anywhere, that is NOT fair ... Until now, way cool. Never seen a performance by the guy I didn't like. You name it "Dead Presidents"/"Deep Cover"/"Lockdown"/"Ray". He came from D.C. Metro, had no clue !
31:59 loved the interview Pierre, but come on brotha, don’t interrupt a Legend. He was dropping jewels. Anyway, Pierre, your page gets better every drop.
i am a man of god and mediate and pray alot too. but i like how he did not blame everything on god or religion. and said it was hard work,training,never giving up, and not taking no for a answer. wow he is the truth definetlation of never give up.
Clifton Powell is THE KING of underground film actors whose credits are as vast of Sam Jackson’s. Him and Charles S. Dutton don’t get enough credit for the work they put in on film and behind the scenes

That's cause he's Indy, he's not one of these actors that's run by Hollywood and do anything they say for the money. He is a dam good actor
I hope you applied what he taught you bro. Cause he literally gave you a one-on-one clinic for FREE as a professional actor. You ain't gone run into that often
I absolutely loved Clifton in Ray. When his character told Ray “You broke my heart a long time ago.”

I met Mr. Powell. He is very humble, friendly and allowed for us to take pictures.
"Yo, gimme some links wit them grits" 🤣 🤣 One of the best all around actors ever
Chauncey, Cuddy, Big Smoke and Pinky are my fav Characters from this dude
@@theeorehekchannelmenace to society
Clifton Powell has been in over 100 films to date throughout his career. A true pioneer, and a great actor. He is definitely a legend
My first time peeping a sit-down with Mr. Powell. Hyped for this. Clifton doesn't do many interviews.
Clifton Powell a real cat. He got real game. Street knowledge and life. Hope to meet him one day.
This is a great podcast, you're really good at this Pierre. Mr. Powell dropped so many gems in this one.
There’s a wealth of knowledge, in this podcast episode. A masterclass. 📝🎯
I’m an actor and I realize just how much I need to assess myself and decide exactly what I want in this industry. Hats off to Clifton.
"Prayer, mediation, faith and don't f-ing quit." Clifton Powell 💪🏾
I could listen to Clifton Powell talk all day long. He’s a very, and intelligent man.
That’s why I brought him on 2x. And he’s the homie
Clifton was so interesting to listen to. He really knows the business and acting
And I know how to interview him 😂😂
Rock is where I first fell in love with Clifton!!! My first time ever seeing him on TV....Luv'd it!
He gave me some game about everything I wanted to know about acting, this interview was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Facts. I thought the same bro. Simple yet vital principles to make it in whatever you choose to do.

When he said “if I tell you shut the fuck up again” I cried laughing. The pinky came out 🤣 great episode

New subscriber 🤗
Clifton Powell would be perfect to play Eddie Levert in a Biopic about the Ojays
This was the best interview you have done keep it up
Clifton a legend, and like others have said, worthy of an Oscar, but his work is the Oscar, solid.
So glad I stumbled onto a clip on acting by him on social media. Would have never known how serious he was about his craft. He's keeping it VERY real in this interview and drops a ton of science on the craft of acting.
This was the most informative but funny interview ever 😂
One of My fav actors..his role on Roc was intense
"Shut the fuck up..." Let brother Clifton make his point lol lol loved that part
