0:00
It was a lot of, you know, artists.
0:01
Chaka Khan was there.
0:04
I started meeting all the artists, all
0:06
the groups. Melly Mel, Furious Five. I
0:08
mean, there was just ongoing. There was
0:10
groups that came to audition that even
0:14
You know, um, Chaka Khan, um, I don't
0:18
even think she auditioned for the movie.
0:19
I believe she was there for support.
0:20
Like her and Harry were friends
0:22
and she was there doing a throughout a
0:24
lot of the interviewing process.
0:30
funny part is, um, God rest his soul,
0:33
but Malcolm Jamal Warner audition for my
0:37
Remember, um, remember, um, what was his
0:43
what was the little guy? What's the
0:50
Nah, the other kid. He had the TV show
0:53
Webster. Webster. Emanuel Lewis. Yeah.
1:00
So, I I a have a clue. I was
1:03
auditioning, but I at this point I still
1:05
don't know I'm auditioning. Like, their
1:08
They already knew what they was coming
1:10
I'm still there dancing. Like, I ain't
1:13
Well, I'm there. I'm think I'm getting a
1:14
part of dancer. You know what I'm
1:16
I just want to make a reference to
1:18
Malcolm Jamal Warner. We were just
1:19
talking about that. How you both were
1:22
like brothers to us. Like, we felt like
1:26
I got to meet him. I had the pleasure to
1:27
meet him, you know. Um
1:30
this was I believe this was in his early
1:33
early stage of his crazy.
1:35
He really wasn't famous,
1:36
but Cosby Show came that next year.
1:39
Yeah, Cosby came out. Mind you,
1:43
Cosby Show wasn't just his first thing.
1:45
He was done other things, you know?
1:47
And when he auditioned for our part,
1:49
they had already finished filming at
1:52
They didn't film it. Like a lot of this
1:54
stuff we filmed 83. Movie came out 84.
1:57
A lot of these TV series and many
1:59
they're not filmed live. They
2:02
even like you see like a Mory show
2:03
that's filmed the previous day,
2:05
That's a previous tape recording.
2:08
You know, it's very seldom you see
2:09
anything live, you know?
2:11
So like they had already filmed finished
2:13
that the filming for the Cosby show, but
2:15
he's done other things like
2:17
I've heard of him too, you know.
2:19
So when he came to audition,
2:21
did you see his audition? I was Yeah, I
2:24
had Yeah. I was like, "What?"
2:26
I couldn't wait to shake his hand, say,
2:27
"Hi, my name is Robert."
2:31
When you were reading the script, was it
2:33
the script from the actual movie?
2:35
So, yeah, it was script. But, see, mind
2:38
I've done a few movies, man. I've done a
2:40
few things. I've done commercials. Like,
2:42
the script never stays the same, bro.
2:44
It never stays the same. It could be a
2:46
20 minutes before we're about to shoot
2:48
and they change the script. Like it
2:50
never stays the same,
