[Music] Hello friends how are you how you doing good and you I'm good it's good to see you all and congratulations on this it's uh it feels like such a great like modern day offspring of American Pie Can't Hardly Wait super bad and clueless so um so this seemed like so much fun to make did it did it um seem like work was it work not really we had so much fun shooting it I mean I think think it was worth I mean for for a second I was sleeping in my trailer and then they told me I had to leave yeah yeah that's that's how much fun I had I was just told I was going to have fun in the party yeah and then they just brought a cameraman and just started recording we didn't know I didn't even see we just found out yeah I mean borderline they didn't know illegal didn't know that this was even going to happen ERS I love it I love it well can each of you talk about just briefly um what you love most about your character and being part of this big ensemble cast yeah um I would say what I love most about my character is his the character Arc throughout the movie um is Eddie finds his power he finds his voice um and he realizes that he is strong um and most about The Ensemble I mean everyone's funny in their own way um although it is a comedy like all of our situations that we go through in the film are real to us and that's what really makes it hilarious yeah yeah know I feel like what I love so much about binge is you know kind of like whereon said everybody everybody kind of learns a lesson and this movie at the end of the day yeah it's it's a fun comedy movie but there's so many lessons from every character that you you can take away from and I feel like binge really learns you know so he he really want he really tries to be somebody he's not and be this cool guy for the girl he likes and you know by the end of by the end he he he sort of realizes that you know he just needs to be himself so right right um what I love most about Connor was just that you know he starts out as this super feisty you know super like he wants to to be wild and you know he's pushing you know he's pushing Eddie he's pushing himself you know to like go through Extreme Measures you know just to to feel like he's one of the cool kids to feel like he's not wasting his high school experience but at the end of the day you know he realizes that you know just being himself and having fun and crushing some meatloaf sometimes exactly exactly sometimes exactly what he wants to do and you know being a part of this awesome Ensemble you know it's just like I'm so fortunate where like Ramon said where everybody was super funny and and and super awesome and the chemistry we built was just something I don't think I'll be able to replicate uh anytime soon they're just awesome by the way you just got fine 20 grand um who using the BL you good all right I mean uh there's a lot of there's a lot of great things about Kush there's a lot of great things about Kush and kind of what like Ramone said the character Arc uh the character development uh Kush was really cocky he's he he was just not a good friend but he was just trying to fit in he was just trying to be with his he was just trying to make friends with these incredible group of people and uh I'd say at the very end he uh he learned the hard way and he's trying to change right right on a scale of 1 to 10 how much like your character are you if all of you can maybe kind of go down the line for each other yeah yeah if we like rate each other yeah okay so I mean I think I'm GNA start with you I think like a zero yeah like a zero like you're you're like nothing like that's a good a good good you're not like's career FL exactly exactly after this I would say you're zero zero angry no I'll give like a three three I feel like that's fair I feel like there's a little bit of that Conor wants to have fun exactly get guys he gets wild yeah I get wild man I mean for you Ramon I mean I'd say you're kind of like five five or six cuz you know in in there you're kind of you're kind of being careful you didn't want to do a lot of stuff you in person you're charismatic you're energetic yeah and I'd say I mean you're 50/50 in the character i' lower i' lower it down i' lower it down to like least the like a three or something like Eddie is not that cool like he's like kind of like nerdy kind of like you know but you you cool man you showed up last night with a damn purple shade like bro you cool so yeah I down to like more like three two bro yeah all of us I think you know I think at the time you were really like at the time he was like really like Bene I'd say like i' give it at least a seven exactly but now I think you I think you've grown you you confident bro you cool now so I don't know I maybe like a definitely no girl problems this man yeah yeah exactly he's a beast Netflix strike this from the there's definitely some stories there um so um can each of you tell me what actor or film really inspired you to want to keep moving forward in acting that's a great question wow that's a really great question I feel like I I I take inspiration from a lot of actors I feel like the reason why really want become actor like superhero movies but I I watched this film called Perks sing a Wallflower and and Logan lurman who played the lead actor he was phenomenal and you know just watching his performance he was I think he was like 20 or something really young and to give that type of performance and that the weight he was carrying it was it was insane to me so that fascinated me and I it it makes me want to become a better actor so yeah yeah um uh for me uh when they had it on Netflix training day I watched it not too long ago and saw Denzel and I was just like the Dynamics he brought to the character was just something I've never seen on the screen and like I normally do not like to watch movies twice and I would watch that movie over and over again um and it really just inspired me to keep going because in that time I was in a moment of like do I even want to still continue acting um and then of course when I see Kevin Hart like people tell me that like I remind them of Kevin Hart um but then when I look at his work I'm like I think I can do that so yeah he inspires me as well amazing hey I mean I I'd go with you guys are all going movies I'm going with a TV show um Bill hater uh he's I mean he's he's great he he's a writer he's a director and in in this TV show Barry I mean exactly what you said I wouldn't watch a TV show more than once because it's just so long but Barry I'm on my third watch on Barry and I I can't I can't I can't get enough of that show the way he the way he can act and direct at the same time I just so crazy and spectacular yeah yeah for me uh recently actually um I watched a Fight Club um that's one of like I just automatically went on my like at least top five it was amazing and and one actor that I've always kind of looked up to but when I watched that I was like damn like that's the kind of actor I want to be that's you know the kind of dedication the kind of natural Just Swag that he has and the naturalness he brings to every single role he does Brad Pit I was just like I was looking at that movie and it just reignited and already you know going sparked that I'm like this is why I love acting this is what acting is and that's what I want to be beautiful I love that um well I think we have time for one more question but I I do want to ask Ramone I know that you're an advocate I understand for sickle cell anemia and I'm wondering if you can just walk us through um why that's important for you even though I think we know um but and and what you're doing moving forward to that end well I mean why it's important to me is because I live with it every day you know um and it's really um because it is like a blood disease and a hereditary disease like it's you don't look sick um but there were days when I even showed up to set um and I didn't feel my best and I still had to deliver because that I signed the contract to deliver you know um so I think it's very important to um talk about it and to be very gungho if you will about it um because it's not a lot of light isn't shined on it so how I plan to you know affect change into the CLE cell community and um just uh you know shine a light on it in the future is I host a lot of events um I do a lot of things on Instagram and I partner with st judees in American Red Cross and I I share the importance of giving blood and I just love to share information um because I feel like that's where we fall short a lot of times is we just don't have the access to the correct information so if I can be an outlet to do that I feel I'm doing my job well it's beautiful yeah I love that you're a change agent and you guys all great in the film congratulations I think audiences are really going to love it so much yeah thank you absolutely thanks for your time today all right thank you you thank you take care
