I would say that that character<br />
has a laid back and ease to him.<br />
That’s something that I would<br />
say me and him are very similar,<br />
where there’s not so much<br />
of a stretch to portray the character.<br />
I’m also not opposed to<br />
everything he’s doing, or what<br />
he’s exploring. Like I, myself, on<br />
a smaller level, on a lower level<br />
have done the same at some<br />
point.<br />
I don’t share all<br />
the same feelings<br />
exactly the<br />
same he does…<br />
I wouldn’t necessarily<br />
mess<br />
with, or start<br />
something intimate<br />
with<br />
a best friend,<br />
maybe. Well,<br />
not a best<br />
friend like my<br />
“wife” would<br />
know, you<br />
know that’s testy<br />
waters. But,<br />
other than that<br />
I’m not judgemental<br />
of what<br />
he does at all.<br />
You can’t be,<br />
usually when<br />
you’re an actor,<br />
you can’t be. You can disagree<br />
and not judge, but there’s nothing<br />
Dro does where I’m like kind<br />
of on the fence about or anything<br />
like that. I said he’s kind of calm,<br />
cool and collected and I think<br />
there’s a similarity with that<br />
between us. So it’s fun to play<br />
because it’s not too much of a<br />
stretch to portray.<br />
Do you think that a man and a<br />
woman can be just friends for<br />
the long haul, for instance like<br />
how Dro and Molly were childhood<br />
friends turned lovers?<br />
I think the dynamics change.<br />
I feel like something like negative<br />
really has to happen for the<br />
attraction to be lost. If nothing<br />
really negative happens, I think<br />
the dynamics do shift a little bit.<br />
I think it could be possible, it’s<br />
just that there are so many layers<br />
to human beings, that it makes it<br />
difficult.<br />
So you’d really have to have two<br />
individuals that are fully committed<br />
to moving past the idea<br />
of what they were, and a lot of<br />
times that’s not the case. So I<br />
don’t think they could go back<br />
to be like how they were. I think<br />
they could still be friends, it’s just<br />
going to be at a different capacity<br />
and I also think the intake<br />
of each other has to be lessened<br />
because then you get to sort of<br />
spark something up again.<br />
So I don’t think you could see<br />
each other or talk as often as<br />
you did, but you could still be<br />
friends and cool, and like every<br />
once in a while<br />
y’all see each<br />
other. You see<br />
each other in a<br />
group setting<br />
or if you just<br />
happen to be in<br />
town and just<br />
like, alright let’s<br />
grab a drink<br />
and it doesn’t<br />
go anywhere<br />
from there.<br />
That’s fine, but<br />
I don’t think<br />
it could be the<br />
same way. I<br />
think you’d be<br />
lying to yourself,<br />
acting the<br />
same as if like<br />
nothing had<br />
ever happened.<br />
Especially once<br />
you been sexual,<br />
and intimate, and been involved,<br />
like that it just changes<br />
things because you know what’s<br />
up.<br />
I read somewhere, you were in<br />
an open relationship yourself at<br />
one point, right?<br />
Yeah.<br />
