Being introverted and not being fake social, putting out fake smiles cost him but he stayed true to himself. As someone who is very introverted and socially averse, I respect it.
@@JayzoTheNextKobeBryant2.0 Both of y'all watched this video so he held some sort of relevance to you. Ppl don't click on videos that mean absolutely nothing to em so, there's that... 🤷🏾♂️
I recently watched a Tubi movie with him in it and it wasn't bad. I still hope to see him in more movies, whether they're low or high budget. He was hilarious and his movies were part of my childhood.
Glad he’s well and looking healthy he chose not to sell his soul he can’t say it outright but I get him! Happy for him tbh. Was so talented he was in soul plane too, phat beach ect
I hope he gets back in the game because he’s too talented to let it go to waste acting is never too late to jump back into either way he’s still a legendary talent 💯
Brian did it independently with hilarious movies and became greatly successful without the mainstream Hollywood!!! Us as a people i.e. the hood always had and still got his back!!! 💯💯💯💯
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting this legend and I can honestly say he treats all humans with the same kindness. I wish him much success in his endeavors and I’m happy to see him getting his shine ❤
I've been rockin w this man since "The Luau".. big fan. Definitely miss seeing him on my TV screen. That's how I came across this interview, went to Google to check and see how he was after watching an episode of "Eve" . He still looks the same, same mannerisms and all 😂 so happy to see that he's well 😍 He's a true underrated legend frfr
Fun Fact: 3 strikes was meant for 2pac and Snoop Dogg under "Death Row" Records. I loved "3 strikes" certified Hood classic OG 40 water was Dope in there too. And Lastly, I thought Brian Hooks was a funny talented actor as well, I remember when he was in "3 Strikes", "Eve", and when he was the homeless guy on "The Parkers" Thanksgiving Episode 🤣. I hope he continue doing well moving forward with his Life and Career 💯
You’re absolutely correct because the track “Wanted Dead or Alive” with 2Pac & Snoop was supposed to be the single for the Soundtrack but once Pac died, they used it for the Gridlock’d Soundtrack instead.
Brian Hooks is a funny dude. All of his movies was hood classic. The Q, 3 strikes, Lauging to the bank, & Malibooty!! I still watch his movies. Keep doing your thing Brian!!
Growing up 3 strikes was always one of my favorite movies still until this day dude is very talented & took a different route that was for him he was also in soul plane definitely has potential!
I still remember having the dvd 3 strikes in 2000 and I couldn’t stop laughing at this movie it was an amazing movie and had me rolling from the age of 10 to 33
Man Brian Hooks was the truth to me Growing up. 3 strikes hands down one of my fav movies all time. And we gotta stop saying “black” or “hood” movies cuz we don’t say “white” or “corny ball/trailertrash” movies. We perpetuate the division in media
I remember sneaking into Phat Beach. I was to young for ticket lol. 3 Strikes is a classic. I remember when he got bold and punched Faizon and got tripped and jumped. LOL. Most of us have things in the past that we wish we had played a little differently to maximize our positions. But to make some impact on an era is big. To say you were in a movie that many in your culture know about and enjoyed is an accomplishment. It's many people who wanted to pursue an acting career, who were talented that we never heard of.
I've often heard about this. A lot of entertainers don't even realize they've "fallen off" or the spotlight has passed them by until it's too late(sometimes years down the line). They think they're still killing it. Nelly mentioned this.
Brian hooks is one of the creators of a horror film called dead tone ….. it showed me how talented he was … allways respected this dude but he didn’t let the industry get to him . Gotta respect it
Appreciate the insight of these interviews with Brian Hooks. The luau, phat beach, malibooty, chat room and 3 strikes including nothing 2 lose was my joints in the early 00's. He was my favorite comedian during that time(middle school & high) I watched the show Eve based off of knowing him then eve. Glad to see he's doing well, I miss those times tho... i got the dvds tho still rollin in the 20's🤣🤣
Homie was a childhood favorite... 3 Strikes and Phat Beach are some movies that i always go back to... I appreciate your contributions broski #REAL #CLASSICS
Growing up as a child watching Our Black Celebrities was everything during that era . This was a long awaited interview, i lowkey thought bro died 😂. The real ones know he disappeared after Soul Plane !
They don't choose JohnDoe on our 9 to 5 job🤷♀️...this is where you see people faking coz they want to be chosen. It gets tough when you not a person that fakes. Your career gets dented in some ways. You hv to hang around certain people to be noticed, they dont care about how hard you work😂. It happens even on our stupid 9 to 5 jobs!!!😂😂
Ice Cube said a few years back that Hollywood only allows one black superstar comedian at a time, and Brian Hooks was stuck behind Chris Tucker, and Dave Chappelle was gaining heavy traction
Well at that time he was up & coming actor/ comedian around the same time as Kevin Hart. They both started off in low budget films & Kevin grew into “Hollywood” spaces
I thought he was real funny a very slapstick kind of way but he didn't disappear. If I remember correctly he was on the show Eve and he did a couple of movies Soul Plane for starters.
The luau is my favorite movie by him,the big character he played was hilarious..me and my brothers still quote it…a hood legend is just a great as a Hollywood legend!!
Brian chose not to be part of Hollywoods Elite and if he’s feeding his family comfortably without the evil and wickedness I salute him !
I agree 100% success comes in many forms not just in Hollywood, if dude is happy and healthy thats a win
@@eugenewoo8352say these comments. Immediately thought of Jamie Fox.
He didn't give up his booty hole
i’ve been thinking and hoping that what you said is true @thecoach7324 too.
SMH y’all folks crazy
When i was a kid i thought this brother was gonna be a big star. He def had the talent🤷🏾
Me too I thought he was gonna be on the level of Mike Epps & Kevin hart
Right on to that. 3 Strikes is still hilarious. The day dream scene with the girls doing aerobics made my grandma laugh. 😂
I swear lol
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc and Chris tucker
@@charleswhiting2498 he probably didn't do what the elites wanted him to do
Being introverted and not being fake social, putting out fake smiles cost him but he stayed true to himself. As someone who is very introverted and socially averse, I respect it.
This dude doesn't age. He still looks exactly how he did when he made 3 Strikes.
True
Because he’s not old. He was young during 3 strikes..
It’s kinda scary because homie looked exactly the same & it’s been over 20yrs
Just gain little weights
And High School High
3 strikes was hilarious 😂😅😂 This dude was on a few sitcoms too like "The Parkers", "Eve", exc. He definitely is funny and talented.
Phat beach too
Soul plane lol
Loved him on Eve
Don't 4get the chatroom😂😂😂 that was my shit
And Malibooty lol
3 strikes is a classic!
Bro was a hood legend. He was definitely on his way
On his way to what being a hood legend.?
@@demondrucker3514so you one of those hating ass losers!
@@demondrucker3514I Thought That Too Dawg
@@demondrucker3514 lol a well-paid hood legend. He was funding his own projects. No different than what Master P did with the music.

Brian Hooks was Tubi b4 Tubi! he’s a Icon in the independent film industry
I just said this lol… those tubi producers need to look at his movies and step they game up😂😂
I recently watched a Tubi movie with him in it and it wasn't bad. I still hope to see him in more movies, whether they're low or high budget. He was hilarious and his movies were part of my childhood.
Chileee I’ve Been Watchin Him Since “Q The Movie” & I Has Been Hooked On Him Every Since!
Ayeee s/o Tubi
Same Here
Was it Adam and eve ?? that ending was crazy af lol
@@imperialstatsyesssuh that ending got me
HE STILL GOATED
I loved him on the Eve show. So funny.
“I’m tired of this shit nigga!” One of my favorite lines 😂
We still reference that til this day in my family 😂💯
Lmaoooo
Lol 😂
Always been a fan of Brian from Phat Beach. He’s a funny dude and definitely could have been bigger actor than he is. Talented.
He still can be don't stunt the brotha growth!
@@KawaiianKing I’m goin to stunt his growth with my TH-cam comment. Foh.
I haven't seen this guy in years probably since Soul Plane but I'm glad he's doing alright.
Truth Indeed
Brian Hooks underrated. Would like to see back on the Big Screen
Talented and funny dude. Always wondered why he no longer was in films or tv
bro aint aged
Glad he’s well and looking healthy he chose not to sell his soul he can’t say it outright but I get him! Happy for him tbh. Was so talented he was in soul plane too, phat beach ect
I hope he gets back in the game because he’s too talented to let it go to waste acting is never too late to jump back into either way he’s still a legendary talent 💯
I Definitely Agree
Some ppl are content where they at in life. Hollywierd isn't for everyone. There's been many ppl that left nd decided to live a normal life.
He did the right thing
Nah he’s good where he’s at
He was like a mike Epps to me. I watched all his movies no matter how low the budget
Brian did it independently with hilarious movies and became greatly successful without the mainstream Hollywood!!! Us as a people i.e. the hood always had and still got his back!!! 💯💯💯💯
Faxx I'm from Florida we had all his movies on VHS certified hood legend .. I always wondered where he went phat beach is a classic also
@@rockfresh1993 Facts!!
He just did voice over work for Disney..so he is in mainstream Hollywood..he just didn’t get chosen to be an elite big actor..wasn’t a choice of his
3strikes is underrated. Hands down a true hood classic 😂😅😅 he is a star in his own right!
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting this legend and I can honestly say he treats all humans with the same kindness. I wish him much success in his endeavors and I’m happy to see him getting his shine ❤
Amen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This man still look the same as he did back then. This brother was crazy talented and funny too.
3 Strikes and Soul Plane is what put me on to Brian Hooks, wish he would've stayed consistent
He didn’t hear what he said
Thank you for interviewing him! I was wondering what happened. I loved 3 strikes and still do till this day! Very under rated Classic 💯
I've been rockin w this man since "The Luau".. big fan. Definitely miss seeing him on my TV screen. That's how I came across this interview, went to Google to check and see how he was after watching an episode of "Eve" .

You still the man Brian you made my childhood
Back when Netflix and chill was just wanna come over and watch a movie? 🤔
Can anyone see him playing Chris Tuckers "Smokey" from " FRIDAY " ? Just a thought🤔
Nope! No one can replace Chris in that role.
Crazy fact is his role in 3 strikes was up for the likeness of Chris Tucker or Snoop but he got the role which he deserved
Fun Fact: 3 strikes was meant for 2pac and Snoop Dogg under "Death Row" Records.
I loved "3 strikes" certified Hood classic OG 40 water was Dope in there too.
And Lastly, I thought Brian Hooks was a funny talented actor as well, I remember when he was in "3 Strikes", "Eve", and when he was the homeless guy on "The Parkers" Thanksgiving Episode 🤣.
I hope he continue doing well moving forward with his Life and Career 💯
Forgot he was in "Soul Plane" as well 😅
@@devantejackson5085And Phat Beach and Nothin 2 Lose which plays a lot on Tubi.
That’s my favorite Parker episode he had me in tears 😂😂😂 much love to Brian humble guy.
😂😂😂 yea I remember that parkers episode too..hilarious.😂😂😂😂
You’re absolutely correct because the track “Wanted Dead or Alive” with 2Pac & Snoop was supposed to be the single for the Soundtrack but once Pac died, they used it for the Gridlock’d Soundtrack instead.
He’s one of the only actors that I know can bounce back like a rubber band.
Brian Hooks is a funny dude. All of his movies was hood classic. The Q, 3 strikes, Lauging to the bank, & Malibooty!! I still watch his movies. Keep doing your thing Brian!!
I swear for some reason it seem like he could have played in the 1999 classic The Wood lol 💯💯😁
it was that time frame era
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc Yep you are right 👍
@@BatmanPopsmy favorite era of movies 95-2000
He should have! He would've been great in that movie
Definitely could’ve played Roland or Slim
He never stopped makin movies....they are all independent some are on Tubi they good for independent....one of my favorite actors.
He looks great!
He dead still looks the same lmao
He was also on the movie Soul Plane with Kevin Hart.
Brian was the REAL star of "Eve"
Him and Natalie Deselle made that show. Eve was Corny and boring
Rest up Natalie Deselle 🙏
@@devantejackson5085I love that show, Brian and Natalie were my two favorites too.
Phat Beach was my favorite movie with him in it.
Growing up 3 strikes was always one of my favorite movies still until this day dude is very talented & took a different route that was for him he was also in soul plane definitely has potential!
WOW!!! I wondered where he went??? Great he went the Indie route! Made life happen for himself!!!!❤
He literally is known for being indie. Thats how he started and kept doing it.
Bro was funny as hell he definitely had more to give what ever the reason nobody can take that movie from him
I still remember having the dvd 3 strikes in 2000 and I couldn’t stop laughing at this movie it was an amazing movie and had me rolling from the age of 10 to 33
He still looks good! Funny brother.
I thought he was from LA when 3 Strikes came out..but he from the hood and still got love in the field
He’s from the town Bakersfield ca
Man Brian Hooks was the truth to me Growing up. 3 strikes hands down one of my fav movies all time.
And we gotta stop saying “black” or “hood” movies cuz we don’t say “white” or “corny ball/trailertrash” movies.
We perpetuate the division in media
I remember sneaking into Phat Beach. I was to young for ticket lol. 3 Strikes is a classic. I remember when he got bold and punched Faizon and got tripped and jumped. LOL.

Him & e40 scene was a classic
Love this brother hes still a star icon in my book
The Brian Hooks movie era was good!! Everything I saw him in was hillarious!!
He still look the same after all the years💪 he didn’t let Hollywood get a hold of him💯💯

Absolutely hilarious!I love me some Brian Hooks! We need you back on the screen Brian!❤
Brain is DEF A legend hands down!!!!!!!
He was hilarious in Phat Beach 😂😂😂
Brian, you are so underrated. I remember you from the 90's...
His independent films are always so good and entertaining. He got his big bag got his face out there and built his own brand!

I wished he would’ve made it into the Friday franchise.
I really liked him in Soul Plane & The Parkers … talented
I remember him from high school high
We miss you, Brian Hooks,Please come back and make more great movies.God Bless you and Love You Aways ❤❤❤
Wish all his movies was still Apple Store.
