He has ONE role. Great as the character he plays but he has NO diversity. Every single play, movie, or show except for Pinky he is the same shady gangsta type. Its his look and persona. One word: TYPECAST
Clifton is an underrated actor. Been acting for years. Some of his characters were so believable. He made the characters believable from his good acting. Respect.
@@detroitbadboy313 I agree! Hollywood needs to start acknowledging the black actors, the same way they do the others. This man should be an "Academy Award Winner" by now!
I worked in retail for nine years and when I tell ya the sleeping your way to the top is so real most people won't believe how regular this is at a work place.
@@akaspon1 in my experience the top could be anything from a better position all the way to store manager. Hell a lot of times they'll do it just so they can feel they have some type of power over other coworkers.
@@wolfofallstreets3155 Yeah. Well when i worked for an airline, me and this one co-worker were brought on the same time and she ended up being literally the co-Director (think of it like a Sr. Manager of a team) because she was sleeping with the Director. It lead me to quit and they went on to apparently have a full on affair that ended both of their marriages! She even had younger children! But for what though? Like you said a false sense of power and I guess "love"...smh.
That was a classic show I remember growing up watching that even though I was a kid. The roc showed a black man can be a positive leader in his community while being committed to only his wife. They don't make shows like that anymore and shows that have meaning in different episodes
I'm just a regular guy working in the non-Hollywood or industry world and the flirting/sleeping your way to the top thing happens all the time in corporate America or even a fast-food gig. The 'casting couch' DOES exist, but I'll say I don't agree that you CAN'T sleep your way to the top. However, I will agree with Clifton that if you don't have a certain level of game (not necessarily talent); you won't stay 'at the top' for long. I mean how many singers are famous but CAN'T really give a strong vocal performance? How many famous comedians or actors are getting top pay without being funny or able to act well at all? Not saying EVERYONE has slept around to get to where they are. However, you can't tell me that in the history of Hollywood that not a SINGLE actor, singer or artist of any walk of life hasn't gotten to a certain level of fame and notoriety without a 'casting couch' session. Watch any of those documentaries about old Hollywood and the way they'd abuse actresses and actors ESPECIALLY the younger ones...
@@urbanflavorz two things can still be true at once…of course ppl have to participate and buy shit but let’s not act like other stuff isn’t at play because it definitely is
I met Mr. Powell in Las Vegas and he was extremely cordial and professional. Because he has played so many parts it's easy to forget that his personality is totally opposite of his performances.
Clifton was GENUIALLY getting heated by being interrupted by goofy ass Pierre.

He made some excellent points regarding how non "street/hood" smart women foolishly get caught up, to be honest, I would much rather see Clifton Powell have his own podcast and listen to his wisdom than this annoying wanna be talking ignorance.
Yes he was aggravating me when he kept interrupting him he was giving out good advice on a politics of moving up in Hollywood ooh it almost made me not finish watching the interview cuz Pierre kept interrupting! 😒😒
Pierre is a nobody honestly who is looking for him for advice on how things work in the industry. He don’t know anything and can’t stand that he doesn’t.
Damn wassup with all of the Pierre hate? Pierre and most logical thinking people know that some women sleep their way up. The shit happens not only in Hollywood, but in most career fields.
wanna be what? Pierre is a comedian. Powell is an actor. neither one is some deep philosopher and neither is on the A list. you're obviously in the wrong place.
I remember Pierre from the Def Comedy Jam days. I'll never forget that joke he said ," If your stomach is bigger than your a**, you can't wear that (tight biker shorts)" 🤣Funny dude!
If you didn’t get any jewels in 2.5hrs then you need help. Be happy I had the nuts to even as them questions. And since he’s the homie that’s how we talk to each other. If you want another type of show check out 60 Minutes 😂😂 So enjoy what you could and stop whining.
Clifton is speaking and ain’t saying nothing. Everybody knows Marylyn Monroe, kardashians, Kamala Harris, J-Lo, Anna Nicole fucked their way to the success
@@ComicPierre Nah. You interview people so that they can share game. They can't share game if you're coonin' the whole time and preventing folks from being able to clearly hear your interviewee's message. Step your game up!
Madonna didn't just sleep with men to get to the top. If you study her come-up story, you would know that she was very strategic and determined in her pursuit of stardom. She did sleep with 2-3 key figures (DJs & producers) to advance her career but she was always in control and she manipulated those men into believing in her. She was like Cleopatra. She knew how to play the game and had the basic talent, it's deeper than just sleeping with someone. Same with Mariah Carey. She had Tommy Mottola chasing after HER. Not the other way around.
@@louisianabiggdogg1154 You just don’t understand what I’m saying. Yes, they slept with men to advance their careers. But, if a person wants to be used, you use them. That’s why Pierre and Clifton are both right. Many women have slept with powerful men and gotten NOWHERE in the business. They didn’t know the game, it’s a finesse.
Thank you Clifton Powell for that truth. You can move up in the sex industry doing producer, but some jobs require real talent or a uniqueness. Clifton Powell said it so well, I applaud you.
They need to let Clifton get his points across first. They have him there to get his insiders view but when he tries to articulate his unique, well-earned perspective, they keep cutting him off before he gets to his point.
I see where you're coming from Pierre, you're right too and Clifton is right, he's saying don't just push your behind but push your mind and be a lady, not a tramp.

Blessings and prosperity my man.
What is "the Top" for Pierre?! Clifton Powell is telling him that there's only a few elite actresses that command $20 Million per film. If you look at our race, we had the likes of Dorothy Dandridge, Cicely Tyson and Dianne Carroll. Today I would categorize Halle Berry, Viola Davis and Angela Basset to be in that top tier. I really find it hard to believe that the aforementioned slept their way to "the top." Clifton is telling him that the females he (Pierre) has in mind has not and will NEVER sleep their way to "the top" based on their lack of top tier talent.
RIP to Dorothy Dandridge, but lets keep it 100. She slept with that old, ugly, married director Otto Preminger in her biggest movie Carmen Jones and he gave her the part. That was clearly sleeping your way up. Now the list of actresses white or Black that make it to the very top is slim, but plenty have had successful careers and became millionaires by sleeping with men of power.
"if this is your passion, don't quit..." "SO F*#KIN YO WAY TO THE TOP, IS ALRIGHT THEN!" Pierre...ROFL!!!!!! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Damn P, wanted to drive that point home...
Dude iz underrated he gives us a reason to be proud to be black he represents all of our struggles and progress with being unappreciated so I'm giving my brother his roses now # Zaydasickest Zaydasickest Zaydasickest #Japan
Actors: This perspective is misleading. Sleeping their way "to the top" means sleeping with power to get a role. It happens all the time. Stop the cap! And do not do odds and ends jobs to make it as an actor. Those days are over. Become a certified teacher, professor, work in IT, etc., until it happens the way you want it to happen. If it doesn't then, at least you have time invested in other career fields.
Clifton still gotta have one foot in Hollywood, he knows how to respond. Even Broadway, ballet and the symphony work the same way. Harvey Weinstein debutantes did it to the top
Clifton tap danced around the whole question.The question wasn't about game or who wins or loses lol.The interviewer was trying to confirm if people sleep there way to the top or not lol.
I get what Clifton is saying. He’s discerning between “F****** your way up” vs. Putting yourself on/in position. The former requires sex, where the latter doesn’t.
He's saying you cannot f--k your way to the top because "it's not about the sex, it's about the chase".. Just because a woman has sex with a man that don't guarantee anything.
@@369pendulum Thank you and the host is so busy trying to get a joke in, he's missing the point. I would ask Pierre this..some of the young women that you know are trying to come up in your industry., would you do all you could to advance them if they broke you off? - Even if they weren't that talented? This is what CP is trying to get him to understand. And if you did you'd find yourself on other end of a damaging law suit, b/c don't you think other women who has talent would call you out for obvious reasons....
While they were talking about that the first thing to pop into my mind was Pebbles & L.A. Reid. She married Reid when her music career was taking off. L.A. Reid & Babyface were handling her album(s) but after her music career was over her & Reid divorced. Classic example
Bro I was just watching house party and I didn't know he was sharane brother in that movie and now I turn on TH-cam and see him. Good short can't wait for the full interview. He has come along way.
The actress he's talking about is Charlotte Kirk. She was being passed around by the head of Warner Bros, the director Brett Ratner and Mariah Carey's billionaire ex fiance. There are emails of them trying to get her hired on their projects and casting directors refusing. In the end one of them just gave her cash-money to start a music career. You can Google her music videos....untalented to the hilt. She sued them for false promises and the Warner Brothers CEO lost his job over it. I never see that story being told so it's interesting that he was paying attention 🤣
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE TO INTERVIEW. THIS IS OUR SECOND INTERVIEW GO BACK AND FIND THE 1ST AND SEE WHY WE HAD TO DO ANOTHER
He’s the second Samuel Jackson
Makes sense! Yawll both made some good points! I really understood both perspectives!

Blessings and prosperity my man.
Thank you! Clifton was having a real moment and he's being goofy/loud.
Great interview we need more like this
Very educational man. You still doing your thing.
What is "the Top" for Pierre?!
Clifton Powell is telling him that there's only a few elite actresses that command $20 Million per film. If you look at our race, we had the likes of Dorothy Dandridge, Cicely Tyson and Dianne Carroll. Today I would categorize Halle Berry, Viola Davis and Angela Basset to be in that top tier.
I really find it hard to believe that the aforementioned slept their way to "the top." Clifton is telling him that the females he (Pierre) has in mind has not and will NEVER sleep their way to "the top" based on their lack of top tier talent.
Right. He's making this point pretty clearly. I don't really get the confusion ya know
RIP to Dorothy Dandridge, but lets keep it 100. She slept with that old, ugly, married director Otto Preminger in her biggest movie Carmen Jones and he gave her the part. That was clearly sleeping your way up. Now the list of actresses white or Black that make it to the very top is slim, but plenty have had successful careers and became millionaires by sleeping with men of power.
Pierre great seeing u , brother... loved the interview u.. had with Rizza Islam
"if this is your passion, don't quit..." "SO F*#KIN YO WAY TO THE TOP, IS ALRIGHT THEN!" Pierre...ROFL!!!!!! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Damn P, wanted to drive that point home...
Dude iz underrated he gives us a reason to be proud to be black he represents all of our struggles and progress with being unappreciated so I'm giving my brother his roses now # Zaydasickest Zaydasickest Zaydasickest #Japan
I think Clifton point is you may f your way into one job. But that doesn't guarantee the next job or a whole career.
The casting couch does exist! It’s been around since Charlie Chaplain was doing B/W films
Clifton Powell is a dope underrated actor 🔥
Underrated UNSUNG GIFTED TALENTED ACTOR TRUE LEGEND
I took one ☝🏾 of Clifton’s classes for acting 🎭 here in Philly. He made me realize Hollywood is not for me.
What stood out that made you realize it wasn't for you?
Philly
What makes you say that?
And like a dummy, you took his word for the "end all be all"!
@@blackdonte24 people like you are brave over a keyboard.
Great example why the host is hosting and the great guest is in demand.
I love Clifton he's such a Legend.Peace
Dorothy Dandrige died in her early 40s; Marilyn Monroe in her mid-30s. Clifton Powell, the more than phenomenal actor, was right.
Actors: This perspective is misleading. Sleeping their way "to the top" means sleeping with power to get a role. It happens all the time. Stop the cap! And do not do odds and ends jobs to make it as an actor. Those days are over. Become a certified teacher, professor, work in IT, etc., until it happens the way you want it to happen. If it doesn't then, at least you have time invested in other career fields.
Clifton still gotta have one foot in Hollywood, he knows how to respond. Even Broadway, ballet and the symphony work the same way. Harvey Weinstein debutantes did it to the top
Clifton tap danced around the whole question.The question wasn't about game or who wins or loses lol.The interviewer was trying to confirm if people sleep there way to the top or not lol.
Clifton was right, you can't get to the "top" without talent. You can probably get a small cameo but those don't pay serious if any at all.
He answered the question. No; talent has to be shown eventually
Clifton Powell I don't know what happen in Hollywood but in the real world F ing your way up happens everyday
I get what Clifton is saying. He’s discerning between “F****** your way up” vs. Putting yourself on/in position. The former requires sex, where the latter doesn’t.
He's saying you cannot f--k your way to the top because "it's not about the sex, it's about the chase".. Just because a woman has sex with a man that don't guarantee anything.
@@369pendulum Thank you and the host is so busy trying to get a joke in, he's missing the point. I would ask Pierre this..some of the young women that you know are trying to come up in your industry., would you do all you could to advance them if they broke you off? - Even if they weren't that talented? This is what CP is trying to get him to understand. And if you did you'd find yourself on other end of a damaging law suit, b/c don't you think other women who has talent would call you out for obvious reasons....
The latter may require a " session" as well.
“Move up ⬆️, move up ⬆️, that’s what I’m trying to tell you “ lol 😂
Mr. Powell's one of the greatest actors of all-time bar none
ALL FACTS
@@trevormitchell9438 I can’t wait to be able to work with him being a writer I wrote a role tailor made just for Mr.Powell 🎬
No words needed just applause 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
“That was real love ❤️ “ lol 😂
This is a great interview with gems.
This is some real shit. I'm glad to have watched this and I'm grateful for the game from Clifton.
While they were talking about that the first thing to pop into my mind was Pebbles & L.A. Reid. She married Reid when her music career was taking off.
L.A. Reid & Babyface were handling her album(s) but after her music career was over her & Reid divorced. Classic example
Bro I was just watching house party and I didn't know he was sharane brother in that movie and now I turn on TH-cam and see him. Good short can't wait for the full interview. He has come along way.
The actress he's talking about is Charlotte Kirk. She was being passed around by the head of Warner Bros, the director Brett Ratner and Mariah Carey's billionaire ex fiance. There are emails of them trying to get her hired on their projects and casting directors refusing. In the end one of them just gave her cash-money to start a music career. You can Google her music videos....untalented to the hilt. She sued them for false promises and the Warner Brothers CEO lost his job over it. I never see that story being told so it's interesting that he was paying attention 🤣
Lmao!! "If I gotta tell you to shut the fuck up again"🤣
That's how old friends do
@@ComicPierre Of course! What up, Pierre...👍🏾
No BS about this man..way underrated and appreciated.
I remember Clifton was on ROC he was the drug dealer he was scary back then. One of the greatest actors ever
All I can hear is, “Murry Chrismuss!!!” 😂😂😂
Clifton Powell is the real deal, great actor, 👍🏽
That boy said "suck & move up"😆
