Toure Show - Actors

Jennifer Esposito is a veteran actress who mortgaged her house to finish making the movie she’s wanted to make since she was a teenager. She wrote, directed, and stars in Fresh Kills about growing up in the world of the mafia in Staten Island. It’s a smart, touching portrait of young women in crisis and it shows Jen as a talented filmmaker and a great actress. Plus, we figure out that we worked together 30 years ago. For real. Awesome conversation.

Robert Townsend is one of the great film directors of his era. I’ll never forget sitting in the theater and watching his first film Hollywood Shuffle. He also made the Five Heartbeats and directed Eddie Murphy’s legendary comedy special Raw. Townsend is a critical figure in modern Black Hollywood history. He’s hysterical, brilliant, driven and a legend. It’s an honor to talk about film with the awesome Robert Townsend.

Tyler James Williams is a star on Abbott Elementary and he’s now Emmy nominated but he first blew up years ago on Everybody Hates Chris playing young Chris Rock. He’s a great comedic actor and a deep introvert and a very thoughtful person who loves to be alone with a book. We talk about acting and getting out of the child star trap and what it was like to have his father, a police officer, put him in handcuffs just so he’d know what it’s like.

Billy Porter is one of the most captivating actors working today. We talk about Pose and kissing on camera and wearing a masculine dress to the Oscars, and escaping his childhood home where he was molested for years. This is powerful, revealing, and riveting. Billy is amazing.
