CHARLES LOTT JR. Charles Lott Jr. had not made any specific plans for his future but it seems that the universe already had. After only a couple of auditions, Charles landed his comic relief role as Ron "Chubbs" Hendricks in an upcoming film featuring Ben Affleck. Ironically, the film is about basketball and Charles had never been a good ball player. That did not stop him and his will and determination to do right by the movie is strongly felt. Charles Lott is just beginning his career in the film industry and his strong and beautiful spirit is bound to continue bringing him to higher places and fast. Keep a look out!

We know you are performing in an upcoming film with an interesting cast: tell me more about your role in it and what the film is about. My character name is Ron “Chubbs” Hendricks! I am the Comic Relief in such a Heartsore film. It’s about a comeback story, a man who was a promising basketball star who had a Transient career due to alcoholism; he loses so much and ends up regrouping and gaining it back through the youth of a basketball team. He ends up growing to love them after an Augean grueling path. The story line revolves around basketball. Was that a sport you used to play ? If not, what are some obstacles you encountered in preparing for the film? I did not play basketball growing up. I sucked. You’d think that I would’ve gotten better after months of hard vigorous training! It’s honestly sad when I had to workout in front of the athletic coordinator for the movie I went to the 99 cent store and bought an ugly cast and taped it around my hand so if I sucked (which I did) I would have an excuse and it worked!! It was just hard going to practice seeing everyone better than me but I worked hard in trying to look like I knew what I was doing I heard you met with some great cast members. As you are at the start of your career, how was it playing in a film alongside Ben Affleck? He is the most amazing, nicest, most genuine person I have ever met, and I’m not just saying that I actually mean it I love that man to death. He “adopted” me. I’m his son now: ask him he’ll tell you he has given me so much game to this business and I feel so special to even be in his inner circle and hang out with him, we’re really close. I was talking to him yesterday and I’m still in ahhhh. I hope to work with him again he’s really like a father figure. Was there a specific person or event that inspired you to become an actor? Growing up I loved Will smith and Leonardo DiCaprio--I idolized them. I watched them religiously as they were my favorite actors. I loved Denzel as well; those men have such have such a command onscreen that forces you to keep your eyes on them. Obviously, there are tons of people I can name but those are my favorites growing up! Tell me more about yourself. What are some of your favorite hobbies? Man I am a simple guy I love to listen to music, I loveeeeee watching movies and reading screenplays!! hang out with friends, workout, I am a video game addict and love to party! I just can’t be bored!!!! What are some key lessons you have learned over the last year? I use to hear that “patience is a virtue” and it sound like this stupid cliche saying that keeps people’s hopes alive but it’s actually true especially with the cinema industry. It’s hard to become a movie star but if you have a dream and really believe in it and have patience it will come: every no is one step closer to a yes! Even I used to get down after I didn’t book roles that I really wanted but now I just brush it off and move on. Some of the roles I auditioned for wasn’t even close as big as the movie I did now, I did a few tv show auditions and I thought that it was the end of the world and BOOM a movie came up. Another thing I learned is always stay prepared and don’t be afraid to take risks it’s always better to be prepared and not have the opportunity then to have the opportunity and not be prepared I always have the five P’s proper preparation prevents poor performance. Never be afraid to take risks!! If you take them and it doesn’t work out so be it! You only miss the shots you don’t take you never know what might happen ALWAYS TAKE THE RISK!! Especially if it’s something you believe in. If you could pick any role to play in the future, what would it be? What kind of movie would you like to be in? I just want to show my versatility in roles and wanting to show how ambidextrous I am. I feel confident enough that I can play multiple genres and characters! But if I had to narrow it down, at the moment I want to do something like Kingsman Secret Service it seems like something cool to show and it looked a lot of fun to be a secret agent would also wolf of Wall Street, 21 jump street, that Godzilla movie that came out, comedies, but I also loved the role in I am legend I can go on good fellas, Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the master, raging bull, Lawrence of Arabia, rain man, there will be blood,Django Moonlight, When they See us, the list can go on!! Growing up, had you ever imagined you would become an actor? If not, what did you dream of becoming? It sucks to say I didn’t, I played football I always wanted to be a professional athlete if that didn’t work I was going to become a business owner. I wanted to own my own nightclub like my father did. I was so close, we found the building, had the start up money and everything but I booked the movie!! but growing up people always told me I should become an actor. I’ve always had comparisons throughout my career that I will be the next will smith from casting directors and other people I mean who wouldn’t have want have a career like his, his career is a template for a lot of people. so it was definitely something I had in the back of my mind and I always loved movies and cinematography it would’ve happened regardless this was meant to happen I feel. would go to the church choir while they were singing and conduct at 2 years old my mom still has the video ahaha!! I’ve always been a character. 45 July 2019 Bello
