Ainsley Andrade

Almost a year ago, Ainsley Andrade wrote what was probably the most glowing review he'd ever given to show made by Black creators on network that primarily marketed to Black people. Shows made "for us, by us" have to be held to higher standards if they're meant to be taken seriously in what is still mostly a predominantly white media landscape. The recipient of said praise was none other than Bounce TV's Johnson, created, written and executive produced by Atlanta native Deji LaRay, who also stars. In this interview with LaRay and executive producer Eric Rhone, they get down to brass tacks about how their partnership works, why Johnson strikes a chord and the importance of depicting Black men with emotional intelligence. This is especially important because, as Rhone puts it, "As African American males, we are like everyone else in that we're unlike anyone else."

Today's podcast guest is the extraordinary Deji LaRay. He is a Actor, Writer, Producer, Showrunner! So many amazing hats Deji wears and I’m here for it. Deji and I met on the set of BOSCH...way back in season one. We had a very similar story...not knowing what BOSCH was going to turn into -- but loved the journey. Deji has since gone on to create his on series...JOHNSON...which he stars in, co-showruns, writes on -- all the things and it’s pretty amazing.    This conversation was so transcending on so many levels. Why he wrote his series. Why there’s Power in creating your own material. How he pitched JOHNSON in different spaces and got it in the right hands? Why completion is a BIG word for him...and what he really thinks should be done with your old self tapes… And the number one thing he thinks your project needs to be if you’re shooting it yourself.  --------------------- Watch the video podcast on Youtube + Subscribe: DaJuan Johnson - Think Bigger Coaching for Actors  www.thinkbiggercoaching.com Follow me on the ‘gram! @thinkbiggercoaching and @dajuanjohnson Join the Think Bigger Tribe Facebook group – where a Tribe of like minded actors come to take their career to the next level. #Skiptheline #seeyouonset
