TIME STAMPS: 2:55 -- Rick speaks to how much fun he's been having playing the role of the character Wild Dog in the television series 'Arrow', explaining the vigilante anti-hero as the D.C. Universe's Punisher. He reflects on growing up reading mostly Marvel comic books, and having to do his research on the backstory of the character. They also discuss the Flash/Arrow overlap. 7:01 -- Rick is asked about his youth growing up in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn, NY in the late 80's and early 90's. They discuss him buying the early Tony Touch mixtapes, Rick being immersed in all the elements of hip hop including breakdancing, and talks about all the fun he had despite the danger lurking on certain streets that he knew to steer clear of. 10:15 -- Rick talks about his Dominican/Puerto Rican heritage, and his parent's marriage being an anomaly during that time in NYC with a history of friction between the two nationalities. He expands on that, they discuss how white supremacy plays into it, he speaks on his feeling of kinship with the black community, which then leads to a discussion of Latinos and use of the N-word in relation to where they grew up. 18:26 -- Rick goes into his experience attending LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, where he learned his love of acting. He speaks on how effective the school was in setting the foundation for someone serious about pursuing a career as an actor. Jasmin asks Rick how he made his way to LA so early on, and they also talk about Talib's friendship with Michael Rappaport. 24:05 -- Talib brings up Rick's prominent role in 'Coach Carter', and asks Rick if he has any interesting stories from working on that film. Rick talks about arguing with the director during his audition, explains why he was so drawn to the real-life character of Timo Cruz, but not having anyone to teach him a bay-area accent, Talib speaks to his interpretation of LA before he moved there from NYC, and they discuss the responsibility of Hollywood casting actors in finding those that best embody the role of the character they portray, and not just focusing on how they look or sound. 30:31 -- Rick touches on his role in the movie 'Roll Bounce', acting alongside Bow Wow, and having to learn how to roller skate. They also talk about his appearance in the Spielberg film 'War Of The Worlds', he outlines the scene and running through his lines with the iconic director, who told him not to say thank you for giving him the role. He also mentions his interactions with Tom Cruise. 37:27 -- Rick speaks on his role as 'Spanish' from the hit comedy 'Old School'. They discuss director Todd Phillips' road from directing one of the biggest comedies of all-time to 'Joker' one of the most acclaimed psychological thrillers of all-time. Rick speaks on working with Will Farrell, and Talib asks Rick about the hazing scene with cinder blocks, and working with old man Blue. 42:52 -- Rick outlines his experiences working with the legendary John Singleton in the film 'Illegal Tender'. He speaks to his filmmaking genius as a true visionary, his willingness to share knowledge, and strong ability to understand how to make movies successful. 45:52 -- Talib brings up Rick's love for hip hop, and mentions the fact that they collaborated on a song together. Kweli asks Rick who he thinks is the best rapper/actor, Talib tells Rick how he feels about his rapping ability, and Rick illustrates why he's chosen not to rap anymore after 13 years of pursuing a career as an emcee. 52:35 -- Rick talks about knowing and working with the legendary Sean Price. Talib recalls getting a shout-out from Sean in his last album before his passing, and both Rick and Talib reminisce over their friendship with Sean and how he pushed them both to step up as artists. 56:19 -- In closing Talib asks Rick: "Out of all the roles that you've played, what is the one that really taught you something, brought you joy, and/or helped you evolve as a man."

As a Mexican who is from the Bay but has always had ties different parts of the West, there is definitely different climates in different areas when it comes to sets,race relation, gentrification, etc. Ultimately Black and Brown have been going through the same struggles for centuries, and places like the Bay and Houston have really shown how different cultures can coexist and come up together. Peace.

I’m sorry but it’s not a New York thing. Here on the West Coast in the Bay Area we all grow up hood. Especially in my city, Daly City. All the Latinos, Blacks, Filipinos, Samoans and Chinese kids grow up together. I didn’t try and slow down my use of the N word till maybe a couple of years ago, and I’m 42. My kids are growing up in my same city and I asked them if all their friends and them talk the same hood slang we did. They said yes. Hip Hop and crack in the 80s were big in Daly City. The Bay Area is one big fukn hood. And some cities down south in L.A. and San Diego are the same. We all growing up in these ever growing hoods and we’re all speaking the same language. Whatever Jazmine, u grew up in New York u should have better knowledge on how to operate in the hood. By the way, Z’s Up! Zulu Nation All The Time!🤟🏽

Man, be quiet. There are hardly any black people in Daly City. There were a few until the Filipinos gentrified the area and made it a Filipino majority city. What’s my point? People allowed you guys to say the N Word because there weren’t enough black people in Daly City to push back on Filipinos using the N Word.

Plus nyc is truly different with Puerto Ricans and blacks there is no place like it when it comes to that relationship west coast is very tribal. You would not have made it in New York.

Rey S. Pretty much. L.A. is segregated, even more so today than in the 90’s because of gentrification. These kids out here are giving out passes because they outnumbered almost everywhere they go if it’s a ethnically diverse setting. Either it’s all black/brown or next to none.

Isn’t peculiar how he calls his character on Arrow a “Latino” character but then he calls himself black with his sister in law. That racial bipolar disorder is fucking annoying.

He’s both. African blood is running through his veins, but he also acknowledges himself as a Latino man. He can embrace both

@@ray1411 smh I never understood why can’t black ppl welcome the Latins especially if they acknowledge themselves as Afro-Latino. They are black. Period. Some admit it some don’t. He does. He had an Afro, the hair texture, come on.

@@jacoram2206 Listen, I am technically half Latin. There is no such thing as black and brown unity, at least not at this point. And, honestly? Most of the hold up comes from the Latin side--black Americans have more than receptive to unity. Again, I think people like him acknowledge their blackness for ulterior motives. And nobody cares about hair textures. Listen, they will shave their hair short if its too nappy, to become more racially ambiguous. Stop being the village idiot, looking for acceptance from everybody instead of yourself. Take care.

the ricans vs dominicans issue.. i don't disagree that it's probably rooted in white supremacy, but in some cases it's just simply an f.o.b. thing. fresh off the boat. it's just a dis. a joke. making fun of someone cuz they don't speak the language. just pointing out that it's sometimes not necessarily a (darker) color thing, cuz i've witnessed asians dis tf out of a super white chinese dude cuz he was an fob.
