In this unforgettable episode of the Digital Studioz Podcast, legendary actor Hawthorne James (best known as Big Red from The Five Heartbeats) joins EL and Parrish for a raw and eye-opening conversation. From working with Rudy Ray Moore to the harsh realities of Hollywood politics, Mr. James shares wisdom, war stories, and personal experiences from decades in the industry. He opens up about his love for theater, the racism he witnessed in executive rooms, and why standing on principle has cost him millions — but never his integrity. This one is a masterclass.
