Can I Kick It?

Me and the brilliant Tone Bell, one of the stars of NBC’s Bad Judge.

Here’s a clip from my episode.

While shooting, I told Tone about me directing Mr. Big Stuff for Heavy D and the Boyz and the posse jam Uptown’s Kicking It…both for 50k! 

Tone invited me to his monthly comedy show, Can I Kick It, where he and his hilarious friends deconstruct old school videos and muse about their childhoods. My old videos were featured and it was funny as hell. A good time had by all.

Storm and Black Panther

I love your smile but hate this picture.  Don’t know why this gauzy filter kicked in, but these are the only pictures of a historic meeting.  That’s Halle Berry (Storm) and Djimon Honsou (The Black Panther), together at last! 

You might be wondering why I was with Halle, Djimon and the Russo Brothers (makers of the amazing Captain America: The Winter Soldier) but I’m not talking.
