G Wayne sits down with Hollywood veteran Robert Ri’chard — the actor you grew up watching in Cousin Skeeter, One on One, Coach Carter, and countless classics. Known for his energy, work ethic, and iconic roles, Robert opens up about his journey from growing up in South Central L.A. to becoming one of the most versatile actors in the game.

The two chop it up about life in the 90s, the real L.A. streets, the grind behind success, and how a young athlete turned a random encounter at an acting studio into a lifelong career. From Nickelodeon fame to working with Samuel L. Jackson, Robert shares stories you won’t find anywhere else — including the truth behind Coach Carter, his history with Megan Good, and how he keeps his drive at an all-time high.

Of course, this episode also brings laughs, friendly jabs, and wild stories about fitness, fasting, and 1,500 crunches a day.
