Ballers

What was the football show that you was on? Because that's when I first saw you.

That was Ballers with Dwayne Johnson.

Ballers, yeah.

Oh, that was a great one.

With the Rock.

Ain't that trash that you're proving? They know how you act.

They see your chops on TV and they still want you to come in and read lines.

I like Gridiron Gang.

Be cool.

And then you jumped into Hell and Believe, that background.

And then there is, I think you're connected with religion of sports for this.

So, yes, I was an assistant to one of the executive producer, writer, directors of Entourage, How to Make It in America and Ballers.

And then I was a creative executive at his company.
