BMF mhm I've been watching it since
0:02
season 1 mhm I'm a Stars fan because of
0:05
50 cents same here his investment into
0:08
himself and created all these
0:09
magnificent shows and these vertical
0:12
that's the only reason why I watch Stars
0:14
yeah is because of the stars that have
0:15
come through this franchise and how it's
0:17
expanded and introduced us to all of
0:20
these different actors and actresses and
0:22
it makes you curious about who are these
0:24
people playing these roles who are these
0:26
people playing Nicole fery who is this
0:29
person it makes you go back back into
0:32
time and when you do your research it's
0:34
something to be said about people who
0:36
put in a one year or some people put in
0:39
five years or some people put in over 10
0:41
years at they craft and when they do
0:44
that they reach a whole another level of
0:46
Mastery all right this isn't just
0:48
aesthetic you can't do what she's done
0:50
since the age of five and not be
0:52
dedicated and committed you can't do
0:55
what she's done standing next to the
0:56
likes of Don Cheeto and denel Washington
1:00
and not walk away better than you were
1:02
when you first started you cannot do the
1:04
things that she's done when she was in
1:06
secret headquarters you cannot do the
1:09
things that she's done this young lady
1:11
has went through a lot
1:13
of challenges Landing rolls from an
1:17
early age that really kind of develops
1:19
your emotional intelligence and learns
1:22
that if you really committed and
1:23
dedicated to your craft whether somebody
1:25
sees your purpose in that moment or not
1:27
they might not hire you for a role but
1:29
that doesn't mean that you weren't meant
1:31
for it it meant it it means you was
1:33
meant to do something else and maybe
1:35
you'll land on the roll like she did on
1:37
this popular show called BMF wanted to
1:40
have this young lady on the show cuz I
1:42
enjoy her craft welcome to one and only
1:44
Lea

1:51

2:14
you a
2:15
singer
2:18
[Laughter]
2:21
uh I'll break out with some Dr Seuss
2:24
well this is what I say you know because
2:26
I I watch your work and congratulations
2:29
to you on all your success thank you so
2:31
much it's not an easy
2:33
business no no this woman right here is
2:36
the first person to ever come out of
2:37
hip-hop culture and be on a TV series
2:40
called real
2:42
world and she say that say that and how
2:45
many how many years did it go did you
2:48
audition before you were finally told
2:50
yes wow I don't know um back in 1992
2:55
when they came up with this whole
2:57
concept of reality television
3:00
uh we found out the year later that 2500
3:04
people auditioned to be picked to live
3:06
in a house with strangers uh they picked
3:09
seven I did realize that I was one of
3:11
the last people to get picked wow and
3:14
that made me the first black female to
3:17
do reality television or this genre that
3:20
they wasn't even called reality
3:21
television back then um it was a
3:23
documentary and then it they put it into
3:26
a category of reality television so we
3:28
found out the first year 25 500 people
3:31
audition and by season 4 was
3:34
35,000 wow trying to get picked to live
3:37
in the house so I don't even know that's
3:40
just God I I can't take no credit for
3:43
that that's the man upstairs I say that
3:45
because that's not an easy process to
3:47
endure and Lila puit has been able to
3:51
endure it amen the question is
3:54
why why why do you subject yourself to
3:59
all
4:01
why Lea puit well um the the first ever
4:06
audition that I went out on I ended up
4:08
booking it which is like oh the rarest
4:11
thing
4:12
ever I don't even I don't even I don't
4:15
even I was I was five right so I don't
4:16
know nothing about acting but I'm just
4:18
in there having fun and so I go on set
4:20
and I'm like wow like this is fun I'm
4:23
with other kids it's for the hair hair B
4:25
gummy bear commercials that used to have
4:27
little kids I was that little girl with
4:28
a clipboard and so um you were adorable
4:31
well thank you thank you but but yeah so
4:34
I just I had so much fun on that set and
4:36
I was like Mom like I need to keep doing
4:38
this and she was like okay and you know
4:41
with with a mama like mine with a family
4:43
like mine if you going to do something
4:44
you going to do it so um when I got on
4:47
the set of flight with Don Don Cheeto
4:49
and Denzel Washington um being exposed
4:52
to that level of Mastery at I think I
4:54
was 10 or 11 wow um and I would see cuz
4:58
I was there to have fun you know I liked
4:59
being on screen and I liked seeing
5:01
myself but I was really there to have
5:02
fun CU I'm a kid right but then I see
5:03
Denzel Washington remove himself from
5:06
the talking and go in the corner and
5:08
he's writing things down and talking to
5:10
himself and he's in his own little world
5:12
but then he would get on screen and kill
5:14
it and I'm like what's that about you
5:17
know what I mean I'm like how did how
5:19
did you like what what does that mean so
5:20
that's when I started asking myself
5:22
questions about what a what an craft of
5:24
acting is and what does it mean like to
5:26
read the books what does it mean uh to
5:29
have an objective or a motivation or an
5:31
obstacle you know things like that um
5:33
that I didn't think about before so
5:34
that's when I started getting deeper and
5:36
more serious into it I saw that's a
5:38
great story by the way um and that you
5:40
got to experience at at 10 um I Saw ctis
5:44
V who did the I talk and I think while I
5:48
talk did The Parkers yeah with Monique
5:50
with Monique amazing series was the
5:53
first time I ever did a TV series um I
5:56
was working at MTV and they asked me to
5:57
play a role right and I knew nothing
6:00
about acting you was Cory I was Cory
6:02
that was my name Heather thank you like
6:03
to remind me that but I watched ctis V
6:06
just take the rooll nobody told me
6:09
anything by the way cuz it's kind of
6:10
cutthroat on set sometimes we'll talk
6:13
about that and I watched her do the same
6:15
thing and she walked through her beats
6:18
to the points of the scene where she was
6:20
going to be at and did her lines with no
6:22
one in front of her and she went to the
6:24
next beat and the way she did it was
6:26
like someone was in front of her and
6:28
then we had a line and she came to me
6:29
while she was rehearsing I didn't know
6:31
to give it a line back or just hey you
6:33
you're you're awesome I hit her with her
6:35
you're awesome um but I stole that I
6:38
took that from her yeah so whenever I
6:40
would do big interviews like I
6:43
interviewed President Obama at the White
6:45
House I remember what count V did to get
6:49
in her Zone yeah right absolutely you
6:52
got that from Denzel right and I still I
6:55
still do to this day I'm I'm I mean I
6:58
feel like if you are if you're an artist
7:01
that's trying to grow every time you
7:03
have the opportunity to be on a set and
7:05
be around people who know more than you
7:07
or who are are are doing what you want
7:09
to do you're going to be a sponge so
7:11
when I'm around people like um Russell
7:14
Hornsby or MCO ban white like I'm going
7:17
to sit down and listen and you know what
7:19
I mean and get to know them and get to
7:21
know their stories um and and just soak
7:25
up everything everything everything
7:28
we're talking BMF season 3888 742 3345
7:32
you want to talk with Ila Pro it hit us
7:34
up yeah so happy to have you here ilila
7:36
you're just such a big ball of light
7:38
sincerely your energy is hella
7:39
contagious you're welcome us talking
7:42
about how um you take advantage of
7:44
having these incredible actors around
7:46
you and studying them and it also makes
7:48
me realize that you can also study these
7:52
adult storylines and kind of apply them
7:54
to yourself you're very very young and
7:57
I'm wondering thinking about BMF and all
8:00
of the adult content there is in there
8:02
you know we're talking about BMF Empire
8:04
obviously drugs has a lot to do with it
8:07
infidelity has a lot to do with it right
8:09
um Family tension has a lot to do with
8:12
it do you have these conversations with
8:16
your own family like you're viewing so
8:19
much adult Dynamics I'm just wondering
8:21
how do you process it all and what the
8:25
hell do you look forward to getting
8:26
older when you see when you see all of
8:29
these grown folks creating messes sure
8:32
well um I started on the show when I was
8:34
15 so that's pretty young I'll be 20 in
8:36
March so shout out to Aries um all the
8:39
Aries out there but um yeah I I I've had
8:44
you know conversations and we've talked
8:45
about it I think as an actor one of the
8:47
things one of the skills that you sort
8:49
of have to accumulate and and be able to
8:51
learn is how to step into someone else's
8:55
point of view without necessarily taking
8:58
on their traits for yourself and so
9:00
reading these scripts and reading um you
9:04
know the scripts and and understanding
9:06
who the family was doing research and
9:07
things like that I said okay why asking
9:10
yourself questions is a big part of
9:11
acting so why did they make these
9:13
decisions not just that oh my gosh adult
9:16
life is is crazy which it is but what
9:19
what is the situation that put them
9:21
there why is it that they had uh that
9:24
they had the thinking that this was
9:25
their only option for them to be able to
9:27
get out of the a life of of poverty in
9:30
Detroit um what kind of state of of
9:32
America are we in to where people think
9:34
that this is their only choice or to
9:36
where that is your only choice to be
9:39
able to gain money um um fast as a black
9:42
person in America so I started asking
9:44
myself those questions thinking
9:45
critically and thinking logically about
9:47
them I think was instead of just like
9:49
kind of like flowing into it and
9:51
absorbing it and being like I guess I
9:53
guess it's hip-hop now I guess we're in
9:55
it I you know what I mean so just sort
9:58
of um asking myself why and asking
10:00
myself questions removing myself from it
10:02
and if it doesn't apply Let it Fly
10:04
that's kind of the the school thought
10:06
that I take to it I like this I like
10:07
this Lela puit is here we got um Jay
10:09

awesome job for years now
12:29
yeah Lea's had a steady check for years
12:32
I'm not mad let's talk about
12:35
that Lea had a steady check at what age
12:38
did you start paying attention to the
12:40
checks
12:42
um I cuz early on you're just acting
12:45
it's fun she said she was having fun I
12:47
think I
12:49
think probably around the time when I
12:51
got accepted into college was when I
12:53
started really paying attention uh to
12:56
the check the Ciana um yeah yeah that's
12:59
probably what I start yeah she she
13:02
attends Howard University right H H you
13:06
know we got a damn you fully invested we
13:10
got a um uh a HBCU channel here hello
13:15

13:17
I'm might have to go on channel 142 go
13:19
check us out we need you to rock we
13:20
might need to give you a show on that
13:22
channel hello yes period that's
13:25
something we could think about we love a
13:27
hosting bison right
13:29
now most actors come who come up here
13:31
talk about the small percentage of folks
13:33
who are actually making a good living so
13:36
it's important early on especially when
13:38
you start making money that you you
13:40
intentional with what you do with it so
13:41
what have you learned about that part of
13:43
the business I've learned that it's very
13:46
very important to pay attention to all
13:50
of the different hands that your money
13:52
goes throughh and all of the different
13:55
um uh proactivity that should be done on
13:58
the the front end um I know a lot more
14:00
now after being on sets you know for
14:03
years um I know a lot more now about
14:06
what in what to do in order to manage my
14:08
money and in order to help and we have
14:09
obviously I have my team and I have my
14:11
amazing amazing people on the set of
14:13
being BMF um who help you know with my
14:15
contracts and everything but you know
14:17
people are people and humans are humans
14:19
things you know mistakes can happen and
14:21
so just to make sure that you're eyeball
14:22
and everything and make sure you know
14:23
what's going on and where that money's
14:25
passing through make sure it's all right
14:28
okay okay sound like Lea a treat for
14:30
lunch
14:33

14:35
school and being on one of the most
14:37
popular shows on TV like give me some
14:40
what's that like on a day on a daily
14:42

14:46

14:49

15:02
when I first came to campus I thought I
15:03
had something on my face you know I'm
15:05
I'm from uh I'm from Georgia so people
15:08
don't really be staring that much and so
15:10
I was like is there an issue what's

15:17

18:31
what up hey yeah what up though okay um
18:34
I I just want to give a quick shout out
18:36
you know I love the show do great on the
18:38
show I wanted to just say a quick thing
18:40
that that the authenticity of the music
18:42
of that show is so good absolutely you
18:46
know like the way you you the whoever
18:48
does the music um
18:50
Direction um has like mixes it from like
18:53
b52s to current hip hop to I mean the
18:56
hip-hop at the air at the time is so
18:58
dope I think it's it's amazing and it
18:59
really makes it authentic to someone who
19:01
grew up in Southwest Detroit yeah a big
19:04
part of the show is the the progression
19:06
through time and how the family and the
19:08
uh and Mee and Terry changed throughout
19:10
time so the music everything from music
19:13
to wardrobe to makeup everything uh
19:16
follows that progression of time and our
19:18
set does really really well with that
19:20
yeah you guys do great and and did you
19:22
get schooled on any of the old music um
19:24
that that you know we grew up on did you
19:26
get did you get hit for any new stuff
19:27
like that prepare for Nicole the first
19:29
season I listened to nothing but like
19:32
NWA Tupac so like I know and I know
19:35
that's that's West Coast but um I I
19:38
listen to a lot of that sort of vibe of
19:40
of older rap music and I know a lot of
19:42
NWA songs probably more than I should
19:46
but um but yeah like yeah so it's helped
19:48
me L can you name some of those NWA
19:50
titles absolutely F the police um
19:53

like Denzel and take in something at so
20:36
young at her age and learn from it and

um are encouraged to what is the word
20:48
I'm saying the way that you learn and
20:50

21:34
onone time with 50 c was that like um we
21:37
we did we got a little bit of time um
21:38
when he was he was directing episode
21:41
seven of the first season and he was he
21:43
was very Hands-On he was you know uh the
21:46
ep the scene where Nicole was in the
21:49
interrogation room uh with the police
21:51
and and her parents and you know trying
21:53
to hold it down for her brothers um he
21:55
was very Hands-On and I One Thing that I
21:58
remember about that that episode and
22:00
working with him was that I never saw
22:01
him walk he just appeared places and I I
22:04
am facing the door I swear to y' I'm
22:07
facing the door I'm look I'm I'm but I'm
22:10
looking down you know and I'm I'm like
22:11
he my character he appears right here
22:13
behind my ear and he's like that was
22:14
really good next the next shot can we
22:17
try it L and I was like oh yeah yeah for
22:21
sure and then I didn't see him walk out
22:23
he was just he was just like back there
22:25
and he was like action I was like okay
22:28
okay so that was like some
22:31
something disappears places but um that
22:34
a queen's thing he I'm not from Queens
22:37
don't do that it's Jersey Jersey ask me
22:39
about Jersey only okay that's great
22:42
that's great Tracy Lea if you had to
22:44
give maybe advice to parents with
22:47
children that want to get in the
22:48
business they don't want to be
22:49
helicopter parents they don't want
22:51
because they're not in it they also
22:53
don't want to be Bamboozled by things
22:54
what are some tips that you could give
22:56
to parents um to parents first starting
22:59
out is I would say cuz I I have to give
23:03
uh advice from from the the kid exactly
23:06
you know the kids the kids perspective I
23:07
think the best advice that I can give is
23:11
try to find a balance
23:13
between uh pushing pushing your kid and
23:17
pushing your child to do their best and
23:18
to achieve Excellence because acting is
23:20
a craft um it is something that you one
23:22
must work at you know just like a sport
23:24
or any other extracurricular it's
23:26
something that can be learned and can be
23:27
worked at but also the balance between
23:30
let that kid have fun you know what I
23:32
mean let them if they have you know if
23:35
they have a stain on their shirt you
23:37
know and they want to go outside and
23:38
play in the dirt like let them let them
23:39
play in the dirt you know what I mean I
23:42
my parents and my my family did a great
23:45
job of just making sure that I was a kid
23:48
and they always were checking up on me
23:49
and they always said even though I was
23:52
very adamant about my love for acting
23:54
they always checked in and was like in
23:56
any time that you don't want to to do
23:58
this you know let us know and it's
23:59
clipped and any you know or anytime that
24:01
you feel uncomfortable like we are there
24:03
we are there we are there just being a
24:04
constant support system for your kid um
24:07
in terms of the business side I would
24:09
say um especially in Atlanta there's a
24:12
lot a lot of opportunities right now
24:14
just like with acting classes or with uh
24:17
even forums for parents catapult acting
24:19
studios in Atlanta Georgia that's where
24:20
I used to do a lot of my acting training
24:23
um and they have things for parents to
24:25
go and and you know learn about the the
24:27
industry and everything like that so
24:29
yeah you go go and look up you look up
24:31
places to go where you can learn and
24:33
just listen and and you be a sponge as
24:34
well cuz this industry is is a learning
24:36
curve too and what's the rule Heather be
24:39
rule number one it's a dirty game rule
24:41
number one right can be it can be Lea PR
24:43
it congratulations on all your success I
24:47
