- On this episode of People's Party, Talib Kweli and Jasmin Leigh sit down with legendary actor, director, producer, writer, and Avenger Don Cheadle. The conversation covers a wide swath of his career -- as the trio discusses the backstories of what led Cheadle to take the iconic roles he became known for over the years. "Colors," "Boogie Nights," "Devil In A Blue Dress," "Iron Man," "Out Of Sight," "Rosewood" and "Hotel Rwanda" all come up in this wide-ranging discussion.
Cheadle also speaks on his contact with Kendrick Lamar, asking him to star in his self-produced and directed biopic 'Miles Ahead', and we get to hear about some of the hilarious reactions he received from Brits about the Cockney accent he used while playing Basher in the Ocean's movies.

@HOSTILE MGTOW awesome -- glad you like it!
I hope you folks are able to get some of the Democratic nominees on this podcast
Probably one my favorite black actor's 👏💯✌🏾🖤✊🏾
Amazing guest. Still waiting on Lupe Fiasco.
Working on it, for sure!
Love Lupe, bought his first and second cd.
I have met Don a few times. The most time I spent with him was during a golf tournament. He is one of the most real brothers I have ever met. I have nothing but respect and admiration for this brother.
Wow. Like seriously. I am envious. He seems like a casual deep guy.
That's what's up 💯
When I saw Don in Devil in a Blue Dress as Mouse acting toe to toe with Denzel, I knew he was a star
He was great in the role. Unbelievable!! But having read the book, and the ones afterwards, with the characters. Larenz Tate would be PERFECT as Mouse.
@@dawolf856 i agree, he would have been too young then but a reboot he would kill
@@keithtaylor7238 Yo... seriously! The way he's described in the books. It's Larenz... just give him colored contacts. Especially the way he played that character in "Menace to Society". Still... Cheadle fucking killed the roll. But, if they ever did the series on cable or something...
@@dawolf856 Don Cheadle said the director thought he was too young and he is 11 years older than Lorenz
oh hell yes!!!!
I LOVE DON CHEADLE!!! ONE OF MY FAVE ACTORS EVER!!!
He's a kind man and a true talent!
Me Too.
Don is so underrated. Traitor, Hotel Rwanda, Boogie Nights, Oceans 11, Mouse in Devil in Blue Dress. His line “Man I ain’t no time to be tying no one up” Brooklyn’s Finest, Out of Sight. So many classic roles.
First off, props to Don Cheadle. Big ups to Kweli though, his questions and smooth transitions show a keen sense of journalism.
I loved this conversation. I am glad this is my first Don Cheadle "long-length" interview, because it was great. Thank you for sharing this conversation with us. I am also a new subscriber, so I'm about go down the rabbit-hole of all the interviews from this show.
His best role was in the movie Talk to Me playing Petey Green. He did that!
Yea he always great at his roles. He got too many movies that were amazing. I love his characters on Showtime. House of lies and black monday were amazing series.
It was Devil in a blue dress for me
I loved him as Petey Green!
"That man" Mr. Don Cheadle.....Devil in a Blue Dress, probably my favorite part he played.....opposite Denzel Washington ☝️✊🌍
Mouse.......
*"REBOUND" IS STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES EVER. THIS MILES DAVIS JOINT MIGHT BE HIS "MALCOLM X"!*
Earl The 🐐 Manigault
I wonder if Jasmine has listened to Blackstar or Train of thought. Kweli changed my life with those albums alone.
Killing it every week! Love this show
Thanks for the shares and the love -- it means a lot!
The expression on Talib's face for a moment after Jasmin said she listens to Drake every day. Priceless.
When was that
@@mukhtarsharmarke251 22.48. Go a few seconds before for the climatic buildup effect.
Don Cheadle brings an unparalleled level of class and professionalism to every interview.
We agree
Don Cheadle is a great actor. Colors, Hotel Rwanda, Traitor, Rosewood, War Machine in the MCU. Incredible body of work
I remember years ago I seen Don Cheadle downtown Brooklyn on Atlantic Avenue.. I wouldn't say he's an underrated actor but he's definitely underappreciated!! Big up Don Cheadle!!
I want to see Pharoah Monch and KRS on the show. Or even LL Cool J
And busta Rhymes
Don cheadle as mouse in devil in a blue dress was everything
I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you! I was really glad that talked about his journey through the industry and representing our people in such an exemplary way. Growing up in Brooklyn, as a Marine Corps veteran and as a long time comic book fan I absolutely appreciated Cheadle's portrayal of one of my favorite characters - WAR MACHINE! I recently bought an expensive War Machine figure from Hot Toys and the facial sculpt of Don Cheadle is flawlessly accurate! Awesome man, great mind and I was glad to get to know him better on this platform. Thank you Talib & Co.! BLESS UP!
Don Cheadle is one of my FAVORITE actors!!!
I have been rocking with Don from playing "Icetray" on Fresh Prince through his iconic "Mouse" in a "Devil in a Blue Dress" 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
The Man the Myth and the Legendary Don Cheadle!! ❤
He's a genuine intelligent Human Being .
Kudos to the peoples party for inviting the Man to your show. 👏 👏
How could u not be a fan of Don Cheadle?? He's g.o.a.t status when it comes 2 acting...like Denzel, Leo, Sam Jackson, Pacino, De Niro level...
Ikr, everyone loves Don. House of Lies is one of my fav show.
@@stephaniecrosby5294 I love and miss House of Lies...mad they cancelled it.
This one is underrated. I saw it and was interested but not immediately. I'm coming back to it and I'm glad I did
💥Don is worth coming back for. Favorite part ????
@@uproxx his story about meeting the crip on the set of Colors was hilarious😅😅😅. I also liked the Rosewood back story, that was fascinating. The dancing story had me cracking up too, lol
Dating Karen Parsons...casual Drop on them...

Another amazing interview keep doing your thing
Traitor is my favourite movie from Don...it was crazy
This is an awesome interview - thank you!
I love Jasmin smile it makes me smile
Great interview! Thank you to everyone who made it happen!
Dope interview!
One of my fave guest spots Talib did was for Dj Quirk when he said "I'm the Don Cheadle of Rap" so its great that the self proclaimed Don Cheadle Of Rap is interviewing Don Cheadle cause he is one of my Favorite Blacktors.
This has definitely become a must watch channel and must listen to podcast when I can’t watch ! Simply awesome ! Thanks for the work your doing brother @uproxx
Snoopy Miller is who i always think of when I see him. What a great actor. He can play anyone.
All these Legends and Icons enjoy talking to Kweli comes from him being very well respected, and that comes from him acting well as a young man, coz respect cant be bought its about how people look at you.
Great interview of a great mind!
Keep it up guys!
The girl throws off the vibe of the show. IJS.
Hopefully she gets better. She seems young
Everyone has a learning curve and this is her's, plus she is an addition to the host.
They should have a segment where she asks her questions because her knowledge is not that deep. Sway and Heather B have chemistry for instance.
I guess that's why she's not at the table, im just wondering how far away she actually is...
Chad Tep exactly!
Once again! Fantastic content guys. I made some notes on some of the movies he mentioned that I don't quite remember watching. Especially, Colors and Out of sight. Plus I completely had to google him on Fresh Prince, I forgot about Ice Pick* Lol
Great Work, and good transitions. Appreciate the fluidity of the conversation.
Keep em Comming! Btw, I've introduced this channel to coworkers and its pretty much a part of our wkly convo
Colors is a must watch film
Much Gratitude.
He was great in Out of Sight!! Forgot about that...
...another great conversation - thank you for setting this one up.
Talking about War Machine action figures, we need Captain Planet. He's so good in those.
Don is an amazing actor and this is an amazing episode of The People's Party
Incredible content, information, interview & 🆓📚
One of the best yet!!! Don C is An Iconic artist...
Great interview...
gratitude
Great conversation 🙌🏿
Good grab Talib... long been a fan of Don Cheadle. 👍✌
"Just me from Manchesta'!" Lol😂

16barspublishing sixteenbarspublishing ???
This show is great.
I love your show. It’s very informative and Hip Hop
right on, shid ✊🏿
That kendrick story was crazy. I always always thought he'd make a great actor. I hope he gives it a shot one of these days.
It's Decided I'm Subscribing !
Dope Show!
Hotel Rwanda is a forever classic 💪🏾
Great interview
You guys camera quality is top notch
Great Interview
Don was awesome as Sammy Davis Jr in an HBO “Rat Pack” movie a long time ago, with Ray Liotta and Joe Mantegna. He sang, danced, played a couple different instruments. It was great. I wish he was asked about that part. Sammy dealt with racism, addiction, and all sorts of stuff.
I enjoyed Don's interview he have a great perspective of the world and would like one day to share a conversation with him. I was a little fearful when you guys got into the political landscape but he stayed masterfully generic but pointing out actual issues of the political matrix and I agree we need to address securing the voting process and not just use it as a talking point (Russigate) to evade real issues.
"Rocket don't smoke, Rocket don't joke"
Lol 🤣🤣🤣 my thoughts exactly
bingo
Rosewood. My guy killed it 🔥
Cheadle the man...luv him in Talk To Me and Traitor.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
GOOD WORK
"The Snap-back", nice one Roadie.
Phenomenal interview!
If they ever re did whats happening Don could play Rog lmao.
I love how Jasmin has such a genuine smile. You can tell she a truly good person.
hhahahaha
👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿🔥
Y’all forgetting about Mouse from Devil in the blue dress !!! He killed that
✊🏾
In love with Caron Parson my whole life. & Gabrielle Union🥰👏
Great interview Talib...
Wow this show is dope didnt know Talib had a show
Don Cheadle in House of Lies is underrated.
This Interview Connects His Character Ice Trey Briefly On "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" Had An Unaired Pilot Show Title's "In The House" Debbie Allen Playing On LL's "In The House" Alfonso Ribero Being On Both "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" & "In The House" Props To Don Cheadle "Devil In A Blue Dress" Top 5 Favorite Film Of Mine.....
I had to listen to this part ( Don speaks on some of the activist movements he's been a part of including the current state of Rwanda, still recovering from after-effects of government-sponsored genocide in the mid-90s. as well as his work in climate change awareness.) twice, because I think both of you were talking about 2 different issues. Kweli asked Cheadle about an update on Rwanda, because he reference the film "Hotel Rwanda". Cheadle responded about Sudan (because his activism was for Sudan, not Rwanda).
It is a really hard movie to watch but, to me, Don Cheadle's best performance was in this Showtime movie called Things Behind The Sun. That movie made me a huge Don Cheadle fan!
Great Show!!!!!!!!
Thank you 🙏
That Manchester accent is a straight southern Home Counties accent yo.
Love this show and Jasmin so so so so so fine omg 😱!!! I wanna see snoop k dot and Cole please!! Keep up the good work fam.
