in the highly successful series empire in vivek has a new film it's part of this wrong series which is a sweet girl for her i guarantee i think it's like her beautiful when you get these things clumped in your lab it's beautiful this one's called the wrong step father on july 31st on lifetime what's happened in v.a. how you doing i am good idea how you live it and. they can still see me moving away from the chalkboard after don did the raid a record way back when on the soul train oh my god i was on did you. own me hired gun or i was a star where there is. yes i do with this untrained dancer i duck. i used to love it when they would form the 2 lives and the guy that would come do in the russian dead sororities down low kick in those clips. and they would always

throw it back the dog and dog cornelius's butin fox was he never was a sweat acting never tried to. be a member of oh my gosh john cornelius i mean i was from indianapolis indiana girl friend of mine i'm down to orange county from indianapolis to california and my girlfriend was hanging out going so chinese she's like you know do you want to go to so train with me and i was like these children and she was a girl of the so dre and i just remember that i got there and i actually did a great dress at the 1st time you saw me on the risers was my graduation dress from high school. yeah and then i got they put me on the rafters which was a big deal and then we went back another show and i got it to do the scramble board

and then years later i know the scramble board and the crazies think this is that my brother was in the military in germany and he said he was chilling what is going to late at night watching t.v. and so train came like you know the brothers they want to see some from america and he said that i came on and he was like. mr not like you're lying and he had. v.h.s. was there so he recorded it and wound it back because listen she says her name and i said 75 back then those are the days when we wrote each other about hers and he was like are you do you also drink and i'm like. so you know i somewhat made it big time yeah you know all the brothers are over in germany they're getting sick of the blonde teutonic women and i want to see some sisters turned back and you know what i love these are people you don't know much. i missed a lot after they'd wrapped the scramble and you'd see how groovy you could be getting back in their moves like they be doing that right back in the 3rd. and then

years later i hosted the so train awards i love it was a long lasting relationship noncontiguous was just you know such a gentle man and we miss him dearly we really do is an icon of african american so who the street you know he was and to american bandstand. the best pipes folks that was a trust me i you know barry white always had great putts but i think don was just one floor below that of the it was a. i tell you what because i don't know your your family growing up and all that all be asleep a boy somebody put a work ethic in you because as i go through this show business so fraught where you could fall off the radar at any given moment you have been boston asked for years consistently work and you must must have a good agent too but were to get your work ethic. that i got that from my mom to be

honest with you i watched my mom raised 4 kids you know her my dad broke up when i was 4 years old but i still kept a close relationship you know with my father but i was my mom worked 2 jobs and 2 she ended up working with him i leant indiana so i always saw my mom working and if she wasn't working then she had us in church so that's just the way it went down and so i was really raised in the house where you worked. you had a good relationship with god and you had to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps even if you thought she was cute. what a blessing though i'm telling you my mom was like that too and there's yet times in my life where i thought maybe i don't want to push it this hard i always think are you kidding me are you going to let that on your mom walk in the work to make dessert people and all oh are you really going to betray that memory but you get up

get on that plane fly to that gig you got to bust your ass just on are the memory right absolutely you know we were raised before you know computers now that stuff took off you know nowadays kids everybody wants to just write something they want to order it have it brought directly to those to your door we were raised in those times you know i'm sist like you had to go to the airport had to work 23 jobs i mean when i 1st moved to california i worked at how dog stand we're going to take the palace over to the bookstore and then i would have to go up to l.a. and go up go out front dishes. that's what makes it so sweet when you hit it i mean to god i always look back i never feel like i cheated sounds like you bust a detail to some time and it's coming up to you make it you get a little bit guilty and then you think well listen i didn't have anybody with me when i was broke at age 30 so. yourself to think ai risks that i went for it

i and i you know get paid off and it was good yes it jazz i mean we the fact that we're still here and we're still you know doing what we love to do like you said is truly a blessing. what tell you what a blessing is the series because. even when your career is going great you always kind of a wrap something and then you're waiting on the next call when you can get a groove like this and up tell me about this wrong series how does this come a bot your participation in it the new ones called the wrong step father it's on lifetime on july 31st but i think it's the 14th one tell me about the wrong phil says they are absolutely i'm actually before corona broke out we were actually on film 8 so we've got a couple more that are going to be coming out with this every year. hybrid films. we produce along with david to katu who is our director we do what if i film and

then a christmas film for them every year and they just trusted the brand and we started . making a couple and then it was like everybody was like i really like see a good look at it and so after the 3rd when my agent have a good agent you know said hey we're getting a producer credit on this ok and it worked like time t.v. and the lifetime movie network have turned me into a movie maker i mean i had no idea that now i would be on film 18 and people literally sit around and binge watch these films we had our one came out last of the 2 new instruments the wrong wedding planner last friday and people they just loved it they had like a box day and i said then i'd like to do it with all the fans i'm involved i'm talking about the story line i always deliver the title and one of the cheesiest ways like $100.00 you just met the wrong wedding planner or whatever the title of

the film and so i had a couple people say oh you're come it's got you guys but in the day remember when you put me to love to read or like harlequin books yeah now we make those kind of movies where they love to just sit around and they skate and watch these all weekend long it's amazing how much it's caught on and yeah they it's funny they always use a vaguely dismissive term about things like because we have books or movies or theater they always called guilty pleasures and i'm thinking hey what what do you pleasure that's the key number and you know. they always throw that little big but i always think boy what's better than a guilty pleasure you know it's perfect tell me for instance on the wrong step father want to help tolbert listeners of the viewers haul the wrong part works into this. a glimpse at the wrong stepfather exactly the wrong step father. i

play a principal and this is a great thing about me being a producer is that i can cast myself for roles that i normally don't get cast in so i play our the principal allen and one of my teachers is recently divorced played by krista allen and she's dating again and she has a young daughter and she meets a gentleman by the name. played by corn and nick who is all about wanting to get married real quickly he's on the fast track of wanting to have a relationship and the daughter is like mom this duke is going to make the wrong step father so we go on this. journey of finding out he's doing all the right things but guess what he is the wrong step father he's got a past history that is just not that great and you know her being recently divorced she just jumps into a relationship so fast and that's something that i want to let the parents know

about all of our founders' like there's always a message there's a message in this one about not getting and jumping from relationship to relationship also they can daughter she is in. a social group called the social 8 and it's about all of the you know the pressure that's on these kids to fit in with all of these social media groups and things like that there's a lot of good messages that you can learn not only just for women also for guys because i think that that's mainly why they have given a pot was to bring the fellas over to like time to sit down with a girl to say great check it out tonight while you watch like time to go of a fox and it's worked. of course we're talking to the big a box and by the way if they do that story without the child next time i've got a good title for you for one maybe it's 19 or 20 the wrong mr right. was that there's a little more in the wrong mr right and yes why did. what we're

about to do that. oh my. god oh. great minds think alike in the park the film is called the wrong stepfather comes out on july 31st on lifetime and how are these people at lifetime they have this down they know what their audience wants how are they to work for for you now that you're in the production end of it oh my gosh the fact like i said if they give me an opportunity like time the network and my time t.v. to become a movie maker has been so rewarding for me lifetime also was the 1st network to give me a series i had a series and liked on television on network missing right after i finished that i started for 4 years then i brought in some strippers and we made it rain every wednesday night for this black magic so.

nothing wrong. on trying to strip was a. woman with the so wrong it's right friend. and mistake in the caboose would be. all. we're going to talk more i want to talk about set it off i want to talk about the films you mentioned kill bill i want to talk about where she 1st developed her chops she's been with us vivek a has been given a great product for a while from soul train all the way up to the rugs the other july 31st on lifetime we'll talk more with the delightful the fox right after this on the miss miller plus one. l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot

you cannot be both with the yeah you like. conservative media because the political left in the united states has become radicalized selebi joe biden was sure in an era of socialism profoundly changing the country on the other hand by many in his claim nothing would fundamentally change so we should visit or is it as no use just because. my folks welcome back the dennis miller plus one we're joined by the delightful visit to a fox she has a new film coming out on lifetime number 14 they got. another 4 in the can't it's the wrong step they're part of the part of the wrong series as well called nothing wrong about it. it's all right and i'm going back i want to talk about my favorite

film of yours and i'll be assessing your many films but i always love said it all i thought the car. was great and i'm thinking is it true that you had the world's highest paid acting instructor. that will jump in and help you i do i mean you know i love that this story is finally come out i was actually filming independence day with will smith and at the time will and dado were in the early stages of dating and the director f. gary greeted by the set and kind of was checking me out and i got a call and they were like you know you know we want you to come in audition for set it off on but we can't have another actor stats in the role of frankie which every great wanted me for but at the time they had rosie perez there so i was filming independence day in my case and i went one day and i was talking

a little about in notting hill going to make not just for 2 rows and he was like you know i want to coach you i was like are you kidding me so i went to will smith bigelow trailer and he coached me on frankie and t.t. he didn't care for the role of t.t. for me it's like you know you're frank let's do it go on your passion you know just take a rope and i did rosencrantz allow and i was f. gary gray 1st choice the directors. you know when i think back on the 1st times i see will smith a my life i always think even way back when 6 degrees of separation stuff like i'm thinking who is this young cat with this preternatural confidence and when you say he helped you with your acting the some degree part of it is just getting in your head make can you believe in yourself there are so many naysayers in hollywood imagine being sent into battle by a kid like that so confident so charismatic so exuberant you must the one in there jacked up and ready to seize the day. i did i was so focused and you

know i think earlier today he may have called me in with my good luck like he was so supportive and you know always has been i mean even we were filming independence day like we filmed the 1st 11 days out of the window over utah and i had ordering off and i was just like children having a margarita and he's like why didn't do you realize how great this movie is going to be the look i buy outs of wheat and that particular you see it with my margarita down and went upstairs and we had to sit up. well smith. you've got to say you've got to stay ripped to go to. play. and film don't really need $100000000.00. unbelievable everybody in the world saw the plec you know what i think back on you in indianapolis i'm trying to think do you have dreams aspirations back then or were do you come to indianapolis from or is that

where you were raised to when did you 1st get the bite the just see yourself as an actress i was i got a bug actually when i was like about 50 from my auntie who passed away she was the 1st person to cut my hair and put me on a runway and a field day that audience and those lights it just it bit me and then i went to see michael jackson and diana ross in concert and i had never seen such amazing african-americans on stage and diana ross with her wig and nails that yes that i was like where do they live at california that's where i'm going and i laughed. well i tell you what yet to have some support to do that better or were you just a a balls and kid who thought yeah i'm going to go try that or did jeb support who was in your corner i mean i definitely had support my family my mother was scared for me i'll keep that room. and but she made me be independent from jump street she's like i'm not mine your plane ticket you're going to save up so i remember i

worked at. at burger chef yeah those days are gone burger chef and stuff and i saved up my money and i bought my ticket and my brother at the time happened to be dating a girl that was living in california i didn't say with her that mom and we lived with diana for about 3 weeks and then after that i started waiting on tables going to college doing just like everybody else does that when they come to california in search of a dream and i just never gave up on myself i kept knocking on all those doors getting told no more than yes and then one day i was discovered by gentlemen by the name of trevor walton who was a producer believe it or not at lifetime. are you my time he was it paramount but he ended his career at lifetime and telling people that i discovered you but he did so. because i remember when i 1st moved to california folks you know if there were any young people out there i'd tell you

between 20 and 30 ought to roll the dice and try a few things and one of them if you're into the arts you got to come to l.a. where the weather will answer and i losses broadway go to new york but when you 1st do get the l.a. don't let a freak out because i remember i came in from l.a.x. to go to a friend's us i came in through last sciatica and you know it does not look like. it's under a quarter think it was or are you kidding me with the head wound why the little guy was so scared but you just gotta get up and put one foot in front of the other you've got to get it right you can't take it all that personally it's a big reason you gotta get on with it and shirk it off and move right yes i mean like i said i remember i 1st started you jeffrey your know a lot more than you do yes but the moment that you start hearing yes if you then do the work and apply yourself the doors that are that will open for you are just

amazing i did a book i don't know if you know this is i mean i'm an author now too and i wrote about i call it every day i'm hustling and i share my secrets of success about going into the different chapters of a career not a moment a career. give me a couple insights i love this demand that's the lean give me a few of the core tenets you better believe i said make it turn your haters congratulate all those naysayers that aren't there for you and support you 100 percent it's going to be great when they call you monday don't you were just fanless i say knock on success door you no matter fact you don't have to knock on success door you gotta go in there you gotta get in but you've got to do the work yes you know what vivir get even at my worst in show business i don't know if you always said this i had something called my his make lump in the armpit theory where if something bad in show business would happen i'd sell c'mon and show business i

could be in the shower tonight the moaning the fact i didn't get this gig in fact both won't bring my arm and then everything else just pales in comparison to that you've got to keep some perspective here pokes everybody wants the gold ring it's going to be up you're going to have to go through a bunch of people to get to it you know you're going to get your ass handed to somewhere along the way don't let it throw you off keep your eye on the prize keep moving towards it better believe it better believe it as they say there's an old saying rome wasn't built in a day and you find that out with experience and. what was the 1st big thing where you got some money when you 1st started playing it ok i am kick in the door and right now what tell me tell me what that moment what i got us over called generations and and we were on and i was working 5 days 2 weeks so i'm from so world and but i'll never forget that when i got canceled i had 25000 dollars in

the bank and i thought i was rich well i would do that money real quick if you are already know trying to play grant and southern california that money went just like that so i'm going to really went back and sly you know was about to start wait on tables again and then i started giving again i started you know getting bit parts here and working and but it's been a journey it really hands but yeah i got there 1st amount that big deposit in the in the bank account and i had kind of went. but you know they could bid on something like generations like a boxer it's like floyd mayweather going into the gym when you talk about 5 days a week you're not going rushed off you're learning your jobs your mood to me of motion what great training the subs must have been right absolutely i've always said that about soap operas and actually i got independence day because i went back to soaps i was doing young and the restless and the producer's wife bill faced some

young and the restless and i asked my agent why my not just for independence day she said you're just on a soap opera you don't have a big enough name 2 weeks later they gave me a call you never know who's watching you always show up with the attitude of gratitude and put your best foot forward because you never know who may see you that day. we're talking to vivek a fox you can tell she's a force of nature i'm getting jazz i feel like going out not dish and after the interview today you know on the big screen kill bill independence day set it off she's good friends with sable the dog and she's got the teeth there so in the wrong series coming up the wrong stepfather comes out july 30 for 35 years pardon me on lifetime i'm trying to think back to do you have any it doesn't sound like you're a person who dwells on regrets but you know i usually find it interesting when somebody says they had a chance at a role and they passed it up you have any of those stories or you just always it

sounds to me like you take things if they're in the wheel house because you like it are absolute i think the only job that i was sad and i didn't get it once it came down to me and how the very poor storm and now i'm and what is actually an absolute i'm sad about that and halle did a great job no heat on her if you see that girl's body right now she's a force of nature in her fifty's as well too so if i was going to lose that job to anybody it lists it halle berry so you know that's the only job that i really want it was storm. listen vivek a you've been a delight it's good to talk to you i can see listen there's a lot of tools you can put your kit in hollywood folks and one of them is a vibe vast city and i defy you to think of this young woman coming in your room can you imagine a dent she made where they walk out i can just see everybody else a table go walk while whatever if we don't have that port for we go to this part

because she just made a big. good they called a vivek a fox you know or from obviously as i said my favorite set it off but empire but she's got this new series 14 they've got 18 a day of the next christmas one in the can already not yet cling on to nona to pass the amp when we're just fingers crossed and i got it open california so you know prayers out there for everyone to stay safe and have patience and we will get through this together you guys so i'll have some more so from now it's right for you just stay tuned and if you want to expedite getting through it go binge the wrong series for. the wrong step there comes out july 31st on lifetime you've been a delight kiddo good to talk to you you too darling take a carry south something next time folks on that asparagus one by a. so
