- Laurence Fishburne has had a colorful career thus far with roles under his belt from The Matrix, Boyz in the Hood, What's Love Got to Do With It, and even became the first African American to portray Othello in a motion picture by a major studio when he appeared in the 1995 film adaptation of the Shakespeare play -- and now he's on Sway in the Morning to talk about the new Nelson Mandela series on BET, Madiba.
Leading the cast as he stars as Mandela, the three-part saga will air February 1, 8 and 15, 2017 on BET.
While in-studio, Fishburne also reveals that, he was "consciously trying to put the first hip hop gangster on screen" with his King of New York film.

Laurence FishBurne Is Legendary
Deep Cover is my favourite Laurence Fishburne movie. People never seem to mention it when discussing his films. Great interview.
hollywood legend right here
Love the fact that Laurence used the term "Lexicon" referring to the Hip Hop frequently understood terms.
King of New York is my favorite movie...
The dominant culture has adopted so much of our culture 😳 for real
Yvonne Shelton don't use the word dominant. It give em too much power. Call them FOREIGNERS.
king of new york. great movie
SALUTE TO SWAY BRINGING THEM OG'S TO THE SHOW!! SALUTE! RESPECT!!
I've seen so many of his movies, and he's always good, but he's Morpheus to me for life. "There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path."
Jimmy Jump will live forever
Mr Fishburne played array of characters.I first knew him of playing "Cowboy Curtis".
Hahaha, hell yeah.
I remember him as Wilford in Cornbread, Earl and Me.
I LIKED HIM IN HIGHER LEARNING VERY POWERFUL ROLE HE WAS'NT REALLY CREDITED FOR
💯
I love Sway and Heather B. Though no blood, they're truly brother and sister. I see the love for one another, and the chemistry is great. Lastly, Laurence Fishburne is a legend.
I finally understand why the waynes brothers joked about the age difference in their parody movie.
Furious Styles
Sway is top 5 interviewers of all time.. imo
Yes! He's not caught up in the drama and bs
"Eat the Cake anna may"
"oh see you done lost yo Goddam mind"
Keshawn Shotta 😂😂😂____💀
His biggest one
I am African, and Fish did a GREAT job.
Laurence Fishburne is too sharp to not know his past work.. When he is naming off people he wants to work with, he was asked to name five, and where most people would struggle trying to name five, he went beyond that.
this nigga in john wick 2.. cant wait to see that shit
I didn`t know he would be in there, that will be nice.
😂😂 his part is weird
Sway your still the best at interviews. We're going to be watching you till your 70 years old lol

top 5 actor, better then denzel in my book
Heather B was glowing
And she was not havin' it when Laurence and Sway were doing the 'sexy radio DJ' voices, ha!
Such a good guy
When I was just a young'en I met and shook Laurence's hand in Sydney at the Goodbar one night out partying circa 1998/99 when he was filming The Matrix in Australia. Much respect homie!
Morpheus!!!
My nigga Morpheus

Fled is still one of my favorite movies.
Anyone remember his young self on apocalypse now.
Illmatic Montgomery best on-screen death ever.
It's crazy how classy he is and his daughter is like... outchea
Lo Oo lol
I guess people forgot that LF after "Cornbread, Earl, and Me" he also played in "Apocalypse Now" as "Tyrone Mr. Clean Miller". That's back when he was "Larry Fishburne" lol.
1 of the best actors to ever do it
Cornbread Earl and me!!!!

Wanna know what triggers Mr Fishburne? Call him "Larry" and see what happens.
Lol that is cool. He really knows his movies.
Came here from da sway migos interview 😂😂😂
When you fucks gonna have Bone Thugs n Harmony on here???
Cmon, you give this legend 17 minutes and Migos gets 25!
Djuan Benjamin I know...right!
@@bumbitusproductions8922 Not Mr. Fishburne or Sway's fault. He was likely on a tight media tour for "Madiba" and his reps offered the show 15 minutes. You see that dude come in the door near the end and they wave him off and continue for another couple more moments. Fish & Sway got it in though.
6:07 my nigga Morpheus feelin something "Fishy" in the air
Aibo why here in South Africa This is NOT Advertised? good thing I listen to SWAY
Apocalypse Now! He has been acting in classics since day one.
OJ Taban he was 17 when he did apocalypse now
Chris Martin exactly! He was in one of the greatest films of all time out the gate.
OJ Taban definitely a classic
Oh shit it's Jimmy Jump!! Only the vets know what I'm talking about!!
gmf357 Apocalypse Now?
Nobody rides for free...!
Should've asked him about when he almost fought Cam'ron for calling him Larry
SuperPunch76 lol it's on thisis50
Always outnumbered always outgunned was my favorite
Damn I love me some Laurence Fishburne!
I have meridian balls due to that movie and it works
Heather B is fine to me
James evans got that dead presidents look going on
Eat the cake Anna Mae!
tyra... that was higher learning big fella
YAW! I REMEMBER!! WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG BOY ON THE SOAPS ONE LIFE TO LIVE I BELIEVE! HE WAS ALSO IN A AFTERSCHOOL SPECIAL!!! NOW DIRECTOR BILL DUKE!!! WAS IN IT ALSO!!!!
I love love hoodlums that movie
"The white man don't give nuthin' but the underworld and that's where I dance. Tell me this brother Sandman, where do YOU dance?" Cotton Club 1985 as Bumpy Johnson (yes before Hoodlum).
They both have very sexy voices....YES!!! Fishburne is so smooth and cool laid back and simply sexy!!
Gary, IN called in the building. 219!!!!!!
Nobody ever asks him about playing Jimmy Jump in King Of New York and I'm not the only one who feels cheated for that
He goes back to Apocalypse Now when he was only a teenager.
5:49 😭 *Heather B got me crine over here* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You The Hardest Sway.
He was 30 when he did Boyz N The Hood
Im trying to see both sides of it. Lawrence Fishborne vs Cam'ron
I just got hoodlum in yesterday from Amazon and the damn thing said it can't be played in my region wth
curlygirly lover just play it in your computer or Xbox 360
curlygirly lover Get tor browser or Orfox for Android. Proxies and VPNs allow you to bypass those kinda blocks if I'm not mistaken.

What’s love got todo with it was so good I thought he was really Ike
My guy larry fishx
Laurence Fishburne has a soothing voice... I wonder how much this nigga would charge to read a grown man a bedtime story.
John Mclain dawg.....lmao
John Mclain lmao.

John Mclain 😆😆😆😆😆
Someone needs to ask this man about the camron story
Boys in the hood is still his best
I dare Sway to call him Larry.
Andre Farrar 😂😂
Yall search Faded by Lil Yung Pharaoh🔥🔥
RIP Chad..
"Larry Fishburne" -Cam'ron
He should've used his voice over work for Silver Surfer for knowledge of self
Omgot cowboy curtis from pee wee playhouse
Migos got interviewed right before him lol go watch the end of the Migos sway interview
damn....has denzel and him ever been in a movie together??
Demonkai Mugen That would be dope! Good guy vs Bad guy, like in Heat, where Al Pacino was a good cop and Robert DiNero was the bad guy.
This dude forgot him and Angela Bassett were in Boyz and the Hood LOL
Lawrence played Cuba’s dad on boyz n the hood and they have a 6 year age difference Lawrence is 58 Cuba is 52
jesus christ its laurence fishburne
"Your mama call you Larry, so Imma call you Larry" - Cam'ron
that was not camron that was his mans who said that
Yeah I know. But still that came from cam's guy.
A new Matrix movie. I am not sure about Matrix 4 as a title. What do you think would be a cool name?
Maniacal-Beats Matrix Maelstrom

Maniacal-Beats Where can I hear your beats
