kelvin gray clifton powell, keith david, are some legendady actors bokeem starred opposite in movies with wonder if either of them have been a guest on here?.
We dont know hoe good we had it.. we had Bokeem woodbine, Larenz Tate, Omar Epps., Erm, Chris Tucker. So many amazing actors and comedy geniuses came up in the 90's!
@@butterpecansole1605 nah not really. Denzel up there with Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Laurence Fishburne, Forest Whiticker, and Danny Glover. All great actors just different styles and type of actors...
@Angel sweet Mine too! I was feeling Larenz part bc when I came home from the military a few years after this was made I was feeling just like him...minus the pimp being all up in my woman lol
Bokeem is one of the VERY FEW guests on this show I've seen CTG fully respect and stay in the lanes. At the beginning of the interview when he asked about Whitaker's eye... My man put him back on the right path. Lol!
I drove for Uber in L.A. in 2016 and had the good fortune of meeting this brother on a trip to his gym. He's one of the most humble, wise and mellow individuals I ever met...great conversation. Definitely a breath of fresh air in the narcissistic cesspool that is Los Angeles. Peace and love to Bokeem Woodbine...✌🏽
I rarely leave a comment, but I was so impressed with this intelligent, dignified and handsome young brother. I actually watched to the end. Kudos to you. :-)
I don't normally watch these interviews till the end. But it's very refreshing to see and listen to a young brother hold his own with so much dignity. No profanity💯💯
He always been humbled,even before he played in movies. I knew him personally. He use to live in Harlem,Ny (111th street between 7th & 8th ave). He always been a great guy! Good luck!!!
Yes we are!!! The creativity, vision, integrity, consciousness, intelligence and brilliance of those who created us 70s babies and influenced them and us gave us divine discernment! 77 was the best!!!
Finally BC coming with the 90's legends if you wasn't rocking with Bokeem in the 90's you were definitely lost in the sauce great actor loved all his movies!
I AIN'T GOIN OUT LIKE NO PUNK -Caught Up He just said "it's all to the good" Mah man is so damn 90s lol. Real legend in our community in the acting world👑✊🏾
Love this dudes energy! & he hit me when he said he's motivated by revenge. & that revenge is based on proving to yourself that you're more than others are willing to acknowledge! Dope!
Just so you bith know. He was in the Blade t.v. series as Sticky fingas (Blade)'s brother who was also a vampire. I believe his name was Stepinrazor. BOOM!
Bokeem woodbine reminds me of wood Harris. Both seem very intelligent and articulate brothers. I have no doubt Bokeem will land that major leading role in the future
Dee Hubb ehh idk he already been in the business for years and hasn't gotten a main role. Plus he isn't as popular now like he was in the 90's so I doubt it
This man has not aged!!!! My chocolate whopper drop. He looks exactly the same from "STRAPPED" "JASON LYRICS" 2 of my favorite movies! He's a great actor. M
Thank you @Tiffanie Richardson. All of you other mfs on here looking for some bs please go elsewhere. I was complimenting this brother not saying anything negative. FOH with that bullsht...
Cel Asegamay my favorite line was when they were at the table tryna organize the heist...and Cleon wasn’t with having Skippy (Chris Tucker) on the corner by himself being the lookout. Cleon told Kirby “See I told Anthony I didn’t wanna have anything thing to do with a devil filled junky.” 😂😂 Skippy said “what?” then boom👊🏾 Skippy knocked his ass out the chair and said “now talk some mo shit and I’ll knock yo ass right back down ol fake ass wannabe preacher no members havin muthafucka!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 greatest line in the movie lmao
Shout out to Bokeem, Harlem world!.. I remember the 90's and the strong black actors from the hood in that time that stuck together...Shout out Mekhi Phifer as well🙏🏿
D Tattad Up Same!!! I was so happy to see him back. But I agree with CTG, I thought he was taking a break of his own doing, not that he couldn't get gigs.
The movie Devil that Bokeem was in, was one of his best acting roles considering the whole movie was shot inside a elevator. Props to Yee for shouting out that point!
I Think why the role started to dry up was the change of the type of movie in the late 90's and early 2000's for black movie. The early 90's black culture movie was more gangster or urban type movies like Juice, Menace or boys in the hood. Then later it started to move toward more Couples style movies like Brown Sugar. More of the romantic drama. The "Think like a man" type movies.
Met dude back in 96-97 at Compton High School. We showed him love but was killing him. Like, bruh it's 80+ outside and you got on Tims and a leather jacket like you in New York. Cool dude.
Yooo I met him in 96, too. I was like 14 and I met him at Fat burger across from Cal State Dominguez. I got his autograph on a receipt which I still have. He was very humble.
One of my favorite actors right here. But real talk, I gained a lot of respect for him as man after hearing him speak out of character for the first time, many years ago. He speaks clearly, eloquently, and expressively without changing his natural inflection and accent. He doesn't vocally neuter himself by speaking in that soft nasal tone so many of our brothers adopt to fit into the "industry".
From Strapped to Jason's Lyric, to Caught Up, Dead Presidents, and Ray Bokeem Woodbine been putting it down on the acting tip for years. He existed during the 90s Black TV and film renaissance when there wasn't just one or two Black film directors like today but there was the Hughes Brothers, John Singleton, Spike Lee, Malcolm D. Lee, and others. Even them we lacked representation but we seemed to access it in greater quantity back then. Who are some Black 90s directors I left out and who are they today other than Ava Duvernay and Ryan Coogler?
im from ohio AINT NOBODY AFRAIDE OF WEST COAST OR EAST COAST AND A PASS LOL A PASS FOR WHAT?? LOL I HAVE A PASSPORT I TRAVEL WERE THE HELL I WANT WE BUILT THE USA AND fought in every war need a pass lol thats funy
Dude was in every 90's hood movie

Kevin Gunn Black Panther got us all in a good ass mood lol!
dawb86 yes it does lol but Bokeem is one of the best black underrated actors of our time💯
Yes finally some positive comments for a change.

Kevin Gunn word up
*Underrated Actor. Every movie I've seen him in, his roles was great.*
very underrated indeed.
Preach
Pats Ballin Out This Year you are absolutely correct!
Professional brother to the Maxx!
So very true!!!
Bokeem is one of the most underrated actors of our time. SO glad to see he is still relevant and so very handsome. I have always loved him!
MoMo Love him and wood harris
MoMo Love thats my boy 💪💯
Jamal Vines me and the homies used to watch his movies when we got high just to laugh
His acting sucked but he's a great reminder of some good movies so he gets a pass
MoMo- so well spoken
Such an underrated actor. Been rocking wit Bokeem since the 90’s.
Dre' yea he dope as hell y u think the media n people don't hive him enough credit?
We dont know hoe good we had it.. we had Bokeem woodbine, Larenz Tate, Omar Epps., Erm, Chris Tucker. So many amazing actors and comedy geniuses came up in the 90's!
Raymand Doks
Don’t forget Denzel Washington 😀
@@butterpecansole1605 nah not really. Denzel up there with Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Laurence Fishburne, Forest Whiticker, and Danny Glover. All great actors just different styles and type of actors...
Lol, Hey dude, Chris Tucker is a clown, not an actor.
Facts💯💯👏👏👏
I was surprised but not surprised by Tate getting shut out. He adds a different demision that Hollywood don't want folks to see.
He played the hell out of Can't Get Right in the movie Life even though he didn't utter one word during the whole movie.
That was my 💩
My favorite character he played was Cleon from Dead Presidents.
From crazy soldier to timid reverend lol
@Angel sweet Yes. That was my favorite "black" movie btw. Overall. Loved how it was put together by the Hughes Bros.
@Angel sweet Mine too! I was feeling Larenz part bc when I came home from the military a few years after this was made I was feeling just like him...minus the pimp being all up in my woman lol
He sure did!
Low key one of the best black actors of all time.
I have ALWAYS loved this beautiful black well mannered man! 😍😘💖
JoBananas Facts one of the best
JoBananas yeah he very underrated...
Good lord calm down
High key!
I thought he was a beast in Jason's Lyric such an incredible actor & film
Fargo gangster amazing
yes movie always makes me cry still
Oh yea...that was him! That movie was a beast.
He was also the beast in caught up
Lord 2wice - That was my first time seeing him on the big screen
Bokeem is one of the VERY FEW guests on this show I've seen CTG fully respect and stay in the lanes. At the beginning of the interview when he asked about Whitaker's eye... My man put him back on the right path. Lol!
Just Doin' Life yesssss bc ogs from the 90s dont play that chatty patty shit.
Exactly. CTG understood right there that he's a grown man 💯
I think Charlemagne knew he went overboard with that eye comment. He didn't think before he spoke.
Ctg is weak though
Just Doin' Life he knows that nigga crazy in real life.. he's too good in those roles!
Dead Presidents, Jason's Lyric, LIFE.... this man is a treasure.
arwhitman12 he was in life??
National treasure. Fo sho
arwhitman12 I forgot he played in dead presidents
Strapped
Queen and Slim
This man is eloquent in his speech and character. Glad hes doin well
He really is❤️❤️❤️
He sure is .....great guy seems like
Yessss! Loving seeing him! Never saw him interviewed. Always loved him!
@@Dr.J.Kelleytv yes!!!
I agree totally 💯
Brother Bokeem is so humble. I loved this interview. He didn’t avoid or dance around answer. He just told the truth. Respect.
100 % candid. Very rare
Bokeem deserves his roses now. The brother is a legend.
Can’t help but to see Samuel L Chapelle when I look at this brother tho🤷🏽♂️
😄😄😄😄 true!!!!
JrsonMuzik ik right
Agreed
"Samuel L Chappelle" ☠️☠️☠️☠️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
coincidence you said this bc these actors play multiple roles in real life.
Man I loved him in Ray he definitely don’t get the recognition he deserves ‼️
That's what I was thinking. 👍
Are you sure you want this? That's that boy!
... Yeah man , he was excellent ! ... Excellent , underrated actor ...
I LOVE U PRETTY😍💝👌
Sugar Smacks he dam sure don’t

One of the coolest cats ever. Met him at a Knicks game and he was super humble. Respect 💯
This dude is another underrated legend. Caught up was one of my all time favourite movies.
Yessir, they have that movie to watch for free on Tubi!! ✊ Long live brother Bokeem, great actor since the 90s!!
He looks like a more serious ..version of Dave Chappelle
J. Grandison 😂😂😂😂trueeeeee
Hell yeah
Damn! Why'd you'd type that! Now I'm forced to agree with something that never crossed my mind! lol
Sounds like him too.
Right?😊😊🤣🤣
He did an amazing job in RAY.

He played the heck out of the Uncle in "Queen and Slim" so underatted
When I saw him in this movie. I was like... This is going to be. Awesome. They have no clue
Ive loafed on Queen&Slim thus far but im on it rn
This guy has NOT aged. Amazing!
Very underrated actor......hollywood is sleeping on Bokeem...and I'm shocked they didn't mention Life.....he played the hell out of that role!
Tricia Parker I’m that baby’s Pappy!
Tricia Parker he was da pappy! 😂
Tricia Parker no lie, i thought that was dave chappelle!
Yup lol “Can’t get right” was his name
Can’t get right!! 😂
He always been humbled,even before he played in movies. I knew him personally. He use to live in Harlem,Ny (111th street between 7th & 8th ave). He always been a great guy! Good luck!!!
I use to see him in this local comic book store, in the mid 1990's, uptown around 92nd st. Cool, humble dude.
Awesome

The first breakfast club interview I watched from start to finish with no breaks. Love that dude...
butter scotch yeah mines 2! Much respect!!
butter scotch mine too ! no bs was gonna stop but dude is really engaging..
This guy should be a Marvel hero
He can't he already played a villain in spiderman and I believe he died but it would be cool if nick fury had a brother
Just so you bith know. He was in the Blade t.v. series as Sticky fingas (Blade)'s brother who was also a vampire. I believe his name was Stepinrazor. BOOM!
I think I remember that but I thought he was blade, so who played blade
Oh sticky fingaz my bad
Would've been cool to play Blue Marvel
One of the most underrated actors of all time. "Caught Up" is one of my favorite movies.
FrankWonderBeantown
Thought I was the only one. Very well written and different movie.
Bokeem Woodbine is really a great actor, I loved him in "Caught Up" and in my opinion he's never made a bad movie. Stay encouraged King👑
I love Caught Up. Most people don't know about the existence of this movie but it is really good.
They slept on caught up
Next to Clifton Powell this brother been in all your favorite black classic movies!
Organized General * Dope Underrated actor 💯
Blackmail
The two of them were in Ray, Dead Presidents, and Caught Up together.
Don't forget Keith David too bro. Clifton, Bokeem and Keith were in Dead Presidents.
All the 90s babies know. We grew up on his films.
DJ NAMEBRAND yessss.

Bokeem woodbine reminds me of wood Harris. Both seem very intelligent and articulate brothers. I have no doubt Bokeem will land that major leading role in the future
Dee Hubb ehh idk he already been in the business for years and hasn't gotten a main role. Plus he isn't as popular now like he was in the 90's so I doubt it
Dee Hubb don’t forget Professor “Lexington Steele?”
True
I never knew he would be so deep. He is an excellent actor.
Great actor. Dude played some crazy roles back in the day. I thought he was really crazy. lol

cameo johnson 🤣🤣🤣
Lol😂😂😂😂😂
This brother is very well spoken. I'm shocked only because of the characters he plays are high strung so to speak. I enjoyed this interview
Jemal Farrow I feel you but you shouldn’t be shocked at all bro there movies and he’s a great actor
I agree Jamal! I had no intentions on watching the whole interview but his flow is shocking. I always thought he was a wild dude.
He don’t get enough credit that he deserves, I love when he played the Panthers Movie. He should be the new blade
He's in Fargo season 2 check it
Well spoken gentleman! Respect
This man has not aged!!!! My chocolate whopper drop. He looks exactly the same from "STRAPPED" "JASON LYRICS" 2 of my favorite movies! He's a great actor. M
For someone who did not graduate from high school, the brother is very well spoken....
Herman Albertie graduating from high school don't mean shit. You're either intelligent or you aren't
Only a nigga would equate education with intelligence...😏😏😏
Herman Albertie All you gotta do is read!!
Herman Albertie your right, he is
Thank you @Tiffanie Richardson. All of you other mfs on here looking for some bs please go elsewhere. I was complimenting this brother not saying anything negative. FOH with that bullsht...
If Lawrence fishburne don't want the mopheus reprise this brother could do his fill in and he would make a good blade replacement.
sekai daniels He played in the Blade TV series for a couple of episodes back in 2006, actually. Think he was replaced by Sticky Fingaz from Onyx.
Goin to far with blade
Why? Because he got on black glasses!
Naww not blade.
Yes he has a black belt in martial arts a good actor
Bokeem got to be about 50......yet he still looks like his baby-faced self from Jason's Lyric.
kdub8305 he finna be 46
@@melvinwilliams2132 He also is the only black male celebrity I know of to have escaped the wrath of the sistas, His wife ain't black.
KeystoneSt_Warrior all okay i like the movie strapped
@@melvinwilliams2132 actually bookem is 48 years old.
He was epic in Dead Presidents
Crazy ass Cleon....they made him bury that head that he cut off for good luck he said “well guys there goes our good luck piece”
That was my favorite quote in the film
Cel Asegamay my favorite line was when they were at the table tryna organize the heist...and Cleon wasn’t with having Skippy (Chris Tucker) on the corner by himself being the lookout. Cleon told Kirby “See I told Anthony I didn’t wanna have anything thing to do with a devil filled junky.” 😂😂 Skippy said “what?” then boom👊🏾 Skippy knocked his ass out the chair and said “now talk some mo shit and I’ll knock yo ass right back down ol fake ass wannabe preacher no members havin muthafucka!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 greatest line in the movie lmao
Yo he’s a great actor and it seems like he has a great personality too
Shout out to Bokeem, Harlem world!.. I remember the 90's and the strong black actors from the hood in that time that stuck together...Shout out Mekhi Phifer as well🙏🏿
Underrated actor, underrated martial artists and funny as hell. Strapped, Dead President, Gridlock'd, Caught Up, and The Fifth Commandment
Ashton Morris Didn't know he does martial arts. Is there a film or video you'd recommend?
I never seen him do martial arts. Before you sure you not talking about some one else oh p.s. lmaoooo
No cursing during this whole interview... what an amazing interview.. 👏👏👏
Roscoe Dashkov super dope fam!! Substance 💯
Do ppl usually curse during breakfast club interviews? I only heard two of them lol
Roscoe Dashkov no idea why that matters.... but ok 👌🏽
if all the films he starred in the 90s came out today he'd be iconic.. underrated actor
BeatsByEbss Totally agree!
He was the man in Dead Presidents tho LOL
Carrying the head around.... lol
Cleon!!!!!
He fucked up & bought that caddillac tho
THIS HEAD HIS OUR GOOD LUCK CHARM" after killing vete cong General" Now your good, Now Jesus loves you. 😆
And he snitched in dead presidents
I love Bokeem and I have missed him! And his vocabulary is SUPREME!!!
Larkin Johnson indubitably
Jason’s Lyric is a classic in my book
Quiet Storm 89 people slept on that movie
Quiet Storm 89 How's your a ss? Lol
The ending still makes me cry..lol
Bokeem hasn't aged one bit. He played tf outta each role he's played and most recently, "Underground," which I pray the Hulu or Netflix Gods pick up.
GlAmazay
I wish they would ask him about his relationship with Africa.
Probably the most underappreciated brother in the game.
@Angel sweet Wood Harris can act his ass off!!!
Dude aintt aging for nothing!
Kay Will. I. AM bald head niggaz with no facial hair never age😂
BlackJohnnyCage Onyx lol
Lmaooo dead
I was just thinking that!
StickyFingaz doppelhanger
I was shocked and happy to see Bokeem in Devil. I miss seeing him in movies. He's a part of black culture. Thanks for interviewing this bruvva.
eArPh BoUnD he and his wife rep black culture in the utmost! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
eArPh BoUnD growing up watching his movies I felt his absence from film so when I saw him in Devil I damn near screamed I was so proud to see him.
D Tattad Up Same!!! I was so happy to see him back. But I agree with CTG, I thought he was taking a break of his own doing, not that he couldn't get gigs.
eArPh BoUnD he was just in the new Spider-Man movie
Bokeem a vampire don't age at all ✊ underrated he is a good actor 👈💂
De London Bokeem, Larenz Tate, & Bill Duke all vampires.
Alan Butler we don't crack 😀
Love that he didn't laugh & tease the incomparable Forest Whitaker as Char started to do!!
The movie Devil that Bokeem was in, was one of his best acting roles considering the whole movie was shot inside a elevator. Props to Yee for shouting out that point!
jesse gibson naw josh was
I Think why the role started to dry up was the change of the type of movie in the late 90's and early 2000's for black movie.

More of the romantic drama. The "Think like a man" type movies.
Detroit 4life Interesting. Think Like A Man came way late.
I think that's it too. I always felt like he was typecast as a thug/hoodlum so we didn't see him much.
U have more insight than he does. Yes. He was typecast. But in his dry period, he shouldve had better representation
Less room for ugly brothers is what you're saying 😂
Dayum I never thought about that
“Couldn’t get hired to cross the street!”😆😩 It’s real out here man.
Bokeem Woodbine... looking the same after all these years! He was awesome in *Total Recall (2012)!*
Met dude back in 96-97 at Compton High School. We showed him love but was killing him. Like, bruh it's 80+ outside and you got on Tims and a leather jacket like you in New York. Cool dude.
Bigtubb Im Ctfu😂😂😂😂
Met him over at the Standard I believe. Trill and super cool very encouraging. Said I was bound to to make it cuz I had the gap teeth. LOL.
Cool? Sounds like he was melting
Yooo I met him in 96, too. I was like 14 and I met him at Fat burger across from Cal State Dominguez. I got his autograph on a receipt which I still have. He was very humble.
Bigtubb 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bokeem woodbine slick a legend!
When he removed his glasses, you can see that he is aging well. He still looks similar to how he did in the 90's.
I Wanna Be Down black dont crack. Baby lol
He gets his 8+ oz a day 😏😏😏
I Wanna Be Down Not as scary looking as he was in the 90s though lol.
Sam M what do you mean?
Ebony Duffy when you drink water and stay hydrated it shows. Whatever you put into your body it will show through your skin.
I totally respect how he talked about his 15 year slump! Life’s up and down and sometimes you think it only happens to you.
CTG is so disrespectful and I'm glad BW side stepped the idiotic comments about Forrest Whittaker's eye. Just no need for it. CTG is an AH.
I'll NEVER call a man God of ANY kind!
You can write it out, "Arsehole"!!!
Exactly
Cant stand CTG. Who made him a God?
Exactly he's so unprofessional!
You may have been gone 15 yrs, but your fans went no where. Myself included. May God continue to bless you!!
Great person to interview. He was in many classic movies 👏🏽
I remember him first in a movie called Caught Up
Gloria Lagrant now that’s a underrated movie 🎥💯💪🏾
My favorite role for him.
Caught Up is a classic ❤️❤️❤️
One of the most slept on movies!
Yes
He is so talented and has not aged one bit
One of my favorite actors right here. But real talk, I gained a lot of respect for him as man after hearing him speak out of character for the first time, many years ago. He speaks clearly, eloquently, and expressively without changing his natural inflection and accent. He doesn't vocally neuter himself by speaking in that soft nasal tone so many of our brothers adopt to fit into the "industry".
Jay Brewster I agree! I hate when our people do that. We can still speak intelligently and have flavor lol!
From Strapped to Jason's Lyric, to Caught Up, Dead Presidents, and Ray Bokeem Woodbine been putting it down on the acting tip for years. He existed during the 90s Black TV and film renaissance when there wasn't just one or two Black film directors like today but there was the Hughes Brothers, John Singleton, Spike Lee, Malcolm D. Lee, and others. Even them we lacked representation but we seemed to access it in greater quantity back then. Who are some Black 90s directors I left out and who are they today other than Ava Duvernay and Ryan Coogler?
