Speaker 1: you are working. Your ethics were good, and um you
Speaker 1: were suited all the time. Uh, you guys would come
Speaker 1: back to the house and you guys would discuss strategies
Speaker 1: and I would eavesdrop, and UM, I learned and took notes,
Speaker 1: and um, I do owe a lot of my success
Speaker 1: to the wisdom that you guys im pardoned in me
Speaker 1: when you didn't even know I was missing, and you
Speaker 1: didn't even know I care, But um, I just appreciated
Speaker 1: everything that you guys came back home and discussed and
Speaker 1: made happy. You know, it wasn't just like you were
Speaker 1: blowing smoke signals you. There was actually fire and there
Speaker 1: was a product that you guys um put together and

Speaker 1: Cassie David, She's just start Tyler Perris hals of pain.
Speaker 1: That's one of the things she's a star because she
Speaker 1: really is a breed talent. And then she just talked
Speaker 1: about our history. The person she brought up one and
Speaker 1: one that's one hole, just a little little walk down
Speaker 1: history lane. He was Steve's manager before I became his manager,
Speaker 1: and he was all our best friend and we lost
Speaker 1: him to Sakodosius. The same illness that took Bernie Mack,
Speaker 1: which is ironic that two people in Steve Harvey's life
Speaker 1: that he was close to the loss to the same
Speaker 1: heart element and uh and and that that allowed me
Speaker 1: to come into his life. And Ricky Anderson was the attorney.
Speaker 1: He's still out the attorney in our lives today after
Speaker 1: all these years of African American attorney. That's what she
Speaker 1: was talking about. Black men who was breaking ground were
Speaker 1: breaking ground because the rules were different back in nineteen
Speaker 1: two five. That's exactly right and exactly right. And there
Speaker 1: was there was a hustle that you guys came out
Speaker 1: with and it was just like everybody get somebody. That's
Speaker 1: that's what we said in high school. Everybody gets somebody,
Speaker 1: don't let them shoot. And that is what you all did.
Speaker 1: You all. Steve was in charge of this, one was
Speaker 1: in charge of this attorney and so handled this and
Speaker 1: Rashan you really uh gatheredized a whole lot of things
Speaker 1: you were caring to to be briefcase, you know, thank
Speaker 1: you for that compliment, Cassie. But the thing about our relationship,
Speaker 1: you know, is that I always saw a talented person
Speaker 1: and but you were not doing anything with your career
Speaker 1: at the time when I came into your life. But
Speaker 1: I was why, uh, you know what, I got my
Speaker 1: feelings hurt. I was up for a part on Hanging
Speaker 1: with Mr Cooper, and I thought I was gonna be
Speaker 1: on that show, and I was doing storyboards, I was,
Speaker 1: you know, going into meetings with the executives, and I
Speaker 1: I learned that I did not get the part when
Speaker 1: the show aired, and it hurt my feelings so bad.
Speaker 1: I just didn't understand the rejection of the business. I
Speaker 1: thought they really liked what they saw and I thought
Speaker 1: they meant what they said, and um, it became just
Speaker 1: one line after another that's one of Chip Fields songs
Speaker 1: and uh and uh. So I just thought that it
Speaker 1: would probably be best for me to pull out and
Speaker 1: not pursue this career because you know, I could have
Speaker 1: had anger issues and I did not want to you know,
Speaker 1: take my anger out on someone. So I just stopped
Speaker 1: and started working with young people at Wendy School. Um
Speaker 1: and um, and I just I just fell in love
Speaker 1: with you know what the aren't really could for the
Speaker 1: lives of those young people. And then Mr Perry, oh
Speaker 1: my god, he saw me doing a favor for someone
Speaker 1: and asked me to come and be a part of
Speaker 1: his empire, and I was like, I don't have no
Speaker 1: time but that y'all say one thing, y'all do another thing.
Speaker 1: So just leave me alone because I really don't want
Speaker 1: to have to catch the case. Don't lie. Just if
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it, do it. And if you're not,
Speaker 1: then don't. And I must say that man has kept
Speaker 1: his word. You guys kept your word. But I just
Speaker 1: got my feelings hurt. I was so bruised by being rejected,
Speaker 1: and I just didn't understand the rejection part of the pursuit.
Speaker 1: And you know, you just important people here that Cassie Davis,
Speaker 1: because of Cassie Davis's Pattonna, I'm gonna talk different periods.
Speaker 1: That was Cassie David's back then. And because Hollywood is
Speaker 1: about rejection and a lot of people aren't ready for that.
Speaker 1: They think that they can ride with the best look.
Speaker 1: They want some awards local and they get there and
Speaker 1: they'll walk you through that door and they'll say come
Speaker 1: back five fifteen times and then say sorry. Or someone
Speaker 1: on your cage didn't even say sorry. No, they didn't
Speaker 1: even say sorry. I didn't even I was at home waiting.
Speaker 1: I had already gone and picked out a home in
Speaker 1: um To Luca Lake in Los Angeles. I was just like, oh, yes,
Speaker 1: when they sent me my money, I can buy this house.
Speaker 1: I was with a realtor and I was at home
Speaker 1: one evening and I saw the advertisement come up or
Speaker 1: the advertisement and you guys called it back, But then
Speaker 1: it was an advertisement and it was Um, that brilliant
Speaker 1: actress nel Carter, and I couldn't be mad. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna lose, why not lose to her? But
Speaker 1: you know, but I it just hurt me so bad. Um,
Speaker 1: I just said, I think I'd better just sit out
Speaker 1: and just wait, and that's what I did. And then
Speaker 1: what was proven is if it's meant to be for you,
Speaker 1: then it's going to be. And it has been a
Speaker 1: great ride for me, even the hurt. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I can really appreciate all of this choy because I
Speaker 1: do understand what the herd can feel like. So it's

Speaker 1: really funny you say that casting because you know Steve
Speaker 1: Harvey Star always saying because I didn't know you were
Speaker 1: that talented whenever, you know, I just knew you were
Speaker 1: very nice. He was always punctual, he was always a beat,
Speaker 1: and and then teach it. You know she's talented, right,
Speaker 1: What do you mean you said, that girl right there
Speaker 1: can sing. I go Cassie, Cassie Gazie. She never showed
Speaker 1: me that you were just you had just like just
Speaker 1: just disconnected. You hadn't even all the talent that God
Speaker 1: gave you. You just like shoved it in a box
Speaker 1: and say I'm done. How did you get out of
Speaker 1: that box. How did you get out of that moment
Speaker 1: to say, you know something, it's time before Tyler Perry
Speaker 1: has said, hey, I want to bring you on board.
Speaker 1: What brought you out of that cocoon? God? You know,
Speaker 1: when I realized that the talent was not mine to
Speaker 1: bury and was not mine too shove in a box,
Speaker 1: and that um, it was his to showcase to his people,
Speaker 1: and it was something that he would use me to
Speaker 1: do and free some people and bring some joy to
Speaker 1: some people and and help some people. So the many
Speaker 1: stories that I now hear um about how the messages
Speaker 1: from House of Pain has helped somebody's family or somebody's
Speaker 1: grandmother or you know. I have a friend in Holly
Speaker 1: Springs right now. She watches all of Tyler Parris, Tyler
Speaker 1: Parris movies and then the sitcoms, and um, it just
Speaker 1: blesses her that I'm a part of it. But it
Speaker 1: was it was God that that made me do it.
Speaker 1: But the vehicle really, really really was Chip Fields. And
Speaker 1: when I met Chip Fields and she wanted me to
Speaker 1: be in a play, it was like, are you gonna
Speaker 1: do what you say you can do? And she did?
Speaker 1: And after that I just began to trust her, and
Speaker 1: then I came into one of love and I met
Speaker 1: you guys, and um, and I just said, you know what,
Speaker 1: there are some good people here. So rejection is a
Speaker 1: part of it. But I just did not know. I
Speaker 1: didn't like being rejected. Who who likes caring ject? And
Speaker 1: so I did not understand it. And I, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: in my innocence, I made plans for some money that
Speaker 1: I did not have. So that has taught me a
Speaker 1: lesson that you can't spend what you don't have. And um,
Speaker 1: and there's always research that we need to do, and
Speaker 1: I did not do by research. I was just taking
Speaker 1: people at their faith value and um, and I still
Speaker 1: do it, but I I have to listen for those
Speaker 1: keywords that that I could have known that I was
Speaker 1: not being chosen for that part. But I just did
Speaker 1: not understand the lingo and I did not do my research.
Speaker 1: No problem. I did not have wise counsel, but did
Speaker 1: not I didn't have any counsel really at all. And
Speaker 1: so um, but now I have wise counsel. That's right,
Speaker 1: that's right. Here, here's the beauty because because Cashier just
Speaker 1: throw our names like she wondered with Karen Robertson like

Speaker 1: because I really always when I read a graduate of Spellman,
Speaker 1: I gotta HBCU in general. I got to be able
Speaker 1: to hear that. Let that story be from anoun store
Speaker 1: my show, talk about Spellman while you went, and the
Speaker 1: experience and the greatness you've achieved by being a graduate
Speaker 1: of Spellman. Oh my god, Rashawn. I heard about Spellman
Speaker 1: College in nineteen eighty three, and there was a young lady,
Speaker 1: Patricia Johnson, who was the recruiter for Spellman College and
Speaker 1: her dad and lived right below by my dad's house
Speaker 1: in Holly Springs, Mississippi, Reverend Graham, and he called his daughter.
Speaker 1: He said, Hey, look, there's a girl over here that
Speaker 1: I want to come to Spellman her dad and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna have a whole lot of money, so just
Speaker 1: find her some money and uh come over here, and
Speaker 1: I need you all to recruit her and talk to
Speaker 1: her daddy, and she did. She came and um, she
Speaker 1: spoke with my dad and assured him that I would
Speaker 1: matriculate and I would be okay, and I would be safe,
Speaker 1: and and and it happened. And my dad took me
Speaker 1: down to Spelling College in nineteen eighty four and I
Speaker 1: graduated in two thousand nine. I was a senior for
Speaker 1: twenty one years. I got down to Atlanta and last
Speaker 1: my mind, I got into the city with all these
Speaker 1: lights and got over there in that a youth center
Speaker 1: on fairst S and the party became real. And then
Speaker 1: I fell in love with the theater company to Monday
Speaker 1: Productions in the city, and I began to work with them.
Speaker 1: And I didn't really care about being a music major anymore.
Speaker 1: I didn't really care about singing UM classical music. I
Speaker 1: thought I was going to be a gospel singer. And
Speaker 1: when I got to Spellman, they wanted us to do
Speaker 1: UM a classical format and the method for really learning
Speaker 1: and studying music. And when I got I was just like, what,
Speaker 1: I don't want to sing an aria. I want to
Speaker 1: sing to God be the glore and my tribute. You know,
Speaker 1: my dad come home. They want to hear English, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be singing, oh to tell you, and
Speaker 1: so just country I didn't really know, and uh, and
Speaker 1: so I got mad. I had one hour to graduate,
Speaker 1: and I left. Chip Fills came through and she was
Speaker 1: going out in a play with Nicky Whinings and and um,
Speaker 1: and so I got in that play in nine and
Speaker 1: and I left Atlanta with that one hour to graduate.
Speaker 1: I called my dad and them three days before graduation
Speaker 1: to tell them that I would not be graduating, and um,
Speaker 1: they were just undone. My dad was like, you're living
Speaker 1: in a bubble. Now you're going out to chase a
Speaker 1: dream and you never do you know, actors come a
Speaker 1: dime a dozen. You're never gonna be on a show.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows you'll get out of here. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: And the more he said you're not, the more I said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna prove it to you.
Speaker 1: I know that this is what I need to do.
Speaker 1: I want to do it. They won't let me sing
Speaker 1: for God. And you know our model a Spellman was
Speaker 1: our whole school for Christ. I was like our whole
Speaker 1: school for Christ. And you won't let me do a
Speaker 1: gospel song on my senior recital. We'll forget it. I
Speaker 1: don't want to degree, and I was. I got out
Speaker 1: to California, I went out to a visit hip for
Speaker 1: two weeks. I left fourteen years later. And in that
Speaker 1: fourteen years, you know, I stummed up to be too
Speaker 1: years to seven years, you know, like so it was
Speaker 1: to the first seven years I was learning one thing.
Speaker 1: The second seven years I learned another thing. And um
Speaker 1: and and it was it was completion twice for me. Um.
Speaker 1: Seven is usually the number of completions. So I had
Speaker 1: to run my course twice to get out of l A.
Speaker 1: And when I left, I came back to Atlanta doing
Speaker 1: House of Pain with Mr Perry and UM and I
Speaker 1: went back to Spellman College and I marched and walked. Uh.
Speaker 1: I got that degree in two thousand and eight December,
Speaker 1: and I marched in two thousand nine. And I am
Speaker 1: a proud Spellman moment and um And it was not
Speaker 1: just what I learned on the inside of the gates
Speaker 1: that make me the woman that I am today, But
Speaker 1: it was what they taught me on the inside that
Speaker 1: I applied on the outside of the gates, UM that
Speaker 1: makes me an even more proud moment. And um, and
Speaker 1: it was those fourteen years of labor out there in
Speaker 1: l A that prepares me for today. You know when um,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't even like doing interviews because it
Speaker 1: just seems like, um, it's so much you want me
Speaker 1: to cram into twenty minutes when um, you know we're
Speaker 1: talking about ninety one two twenty one? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: In a pandemic? It's so many jewels and elements to
Speaker 1: get a life and to describing it and to telling
Speaker 1: you how important everything is. Money is important, faith is important, Uh,
Speaker 1: rejection is important, health is important, Wisdom is important. Uh,
Speaker 1: and wisdom is the principal thing. Um, So at all
Speaker 1: I get you need to get wisdom, you need to
Speaker 1: get an understanding. But wisdom is the principal thing. You know.
Speaker 1: It's just a um. You know when you when you
Speaker 1: get mature, and you know, I left Spelman College. I
Speaker 1: didn't want on, I didn't walk degree. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: All that money, my folks sacrifice, I had to do it,
Speaker 1: and I did, and and it just feels so good
Speaker 1: to accomplish. You know, when I was in l A
Speaker 1: and I was saying, I'm a spelling to night. But
Speaker 1: well I had a graduated yet, but I am a
Speaker 1: spell to night. I met I have want how to graduate.
Speaker 1: You know, that's not really to brag about until you
Speaker 1: can say I did it. I went back, I got
Speaker 1: my degree, and I am a spell tonight. And it's
Speaker 1: not just spelling from college, because you know, I'm more
Speaker 1: of a bearcat at Russ College in a Holly Springs,
Speaker 1: mississiffic that I am a jaguar as Spellment College. I
Speaker 1: know more about growing up on Russ College's campus than

Speaker 1: out anywhere and they are talking about Ella, or they're
Speaker 1: talking about Bam, or they're talking about Tyler Pier, I
Speaker 1: welcome what they have to say, you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like what they have seen um is in their house.
Speaker 1: It becomes very personal to them, and the messages I
Speaker 1: think hit home with their lives. And so some people
Speaker 1: are very nice when they approach you. And then there
Speaker 1: are some people who, uh, who tripped And then you
Speaker 1: know you have to say, hey, wait, man, that's a character.
Speaker 1: Don't sleep now, I don't don't don't don't do that.
Speaker 1: Don't you know I'm not always on TV. I'm not
Speaker 1: always active, not always a script. So don't get slapped.
Speaker 1: But you know, but it is so wonderful to experience
Speaker 1: these things because these people are so wonderful. Now, you know,
Speaker 1: the when when you meant so, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know that I'm handling it properly. I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's two types of fame for you because you you know,
Speaker 1: you you blew up in his plays Tyler Perrish plays,
Speaker 1: and then the TV show and then the movies which
Speaker 1: became international which also put you on the big screen,
Speaker 1: the Medea movies. That what you feel is mostly impactful
Speaker 1: in your career, the plays, the MDEA movies, or the
Speaker 1: TV show impactful. I would probably have to say, um,
Speaker 1: the movies. UM, well, I probably would have to say
Speaker 1: the TV show. Um. The thing I enjoyed the most,
Speaker 1: I would have to say is the play or the plays,
Speaker 1: you know, just to get that instant gratification and to
Speaker 1: be their lives in a in a building with Shawn
Speaker 1: and I always describe it like I'm in a building
Speaker 1: with ten thousand people and they don't know each other,
Speaker 1: but they're all laughing at the same time, the all
Speaker 1: crying at the same time. And then I'm sitting next
Speaker 1: to a mastermind Tyler Perry as my dear, and he
Speaker 1: just orchestrates direct. If there's something on the stage that
Speaker 1: goes wrong, he can handle it. If there is a
Speaker 1: fight in the crowd, he can handle it. If there's
Speaker 1: a heckler in the crowd, he can handle that. You know.
Speaker 1: If he's said and we need to finish us, you
Speaker 1: know the show early, he can handle that, you know.
Speaker 1: So just to be sitting on stage with a mastermind
Speaker 1: as just really ah been the treat of my whole career.
Speaker 1: So I love all the mediums. I love plays, I
Speaker 1: love TV, I love movies. UM and I think the
Speaker 1: best thing for me is his work ethics and UM
Speaker 1: and he means business when he shows up. So if
Speaker 1: you have your script uh ten days before or five
Speaker 1: days before, or if he calls you the night before
Speaker 1: it says, hey, look, I thought about something that I'd
Speaker 1: like to put you in, just be ready. And so
Speaker 1: that's what I really appreciate about the about the three
Speaker 1: entities that I worked in. Let's talk about TV for
Speaker 1: a wrap up here, because I want to make sure
Speaker 1: I've been hyping and been promoting the eighth season. What
Speaker 1: can we expect on this season of Tyler Perry's House
Speaker 1: of Pain is on every Tuesday, NAPM Central. It's come
Speaker 1: an a p m. Central, NPM Eastern West Coast. Yes,
Speaker 1: um rishan, you should expect more of the same, and
Speaker 1: then you can't expect um uh. I just think that
Speaker 1: because House of Pain depicts life and art depicts life,
Speaker 1: it's going to it's going to speak to those who
Speaker 1: are in broken relationships. It's gonna speak to those young
Speaker 1: people who are feeling themselves. It's going to speak to
