Don Cheadle: This was a piece that was written by Jordan Cahan and David Caspe, and they sold it to Showtime a while ago, and it had sort of been sitting on the shelf. And then when Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, they had a deal at Showtime and had their choice to do several things, and they said, “We really spark to this one.” And David Nevins call...
DC: Moving Violations was the movie that I got Taft-Hartleyed on and probably the 507th audition that I had done. I was still in school. The casting director was a good friend of my then-agent. I was one of the few people who had an agent in college. Because my friend was cast on Fame, and she was his agent. But that’s another story. This casting d...
DC: That was quite a role for me. The casting for that was very interesting, because the director, Carl Franklin, when I first met him, he was a directing master student at the American Film Institute, and I was in his thesis movie, called Punk. I don’t even know how old I was when I did that part. Maybe 19 or 20? So when this movie came along, and...
DC: It was wild. It was a trip. I remember being in the car with [Nicolas Cage], in the scene where we’re driving around, and he’s just looking around the car. And I was like, “What?” [Doing a Cage impression.] “I think this was my car at some point. I think I actually owned this car.” I was like, “Are you for real?” “Yeah!” He just kept looking ar...
DC: When we were on the Ocean’s Elevenset, I had introduced this idea to the guys that we should have a ball spa. Like, “Why do women have all the spas? Where are the spas for men? We should actually have a spa that takes care of our business in a way that’s tailored just to us.” “Like, a ball spa?” “Yes! A testicle treatment center!” And it became...
DC: Oh, that was great. And that’s something that came out of Ocean’s. We were just chopping it up, and Bernie was saying, “You should come on the show.” And Bernie was just such a great guy. He was just so generous. And no ego about his stuff at all. I came on the show and we’d improv, and I’d be doing bits. And I looked at him at one point and sa...
DC:So I had been offered that part, I forget what year it was, but probably ’98? AVC: It was. DC: I always have to think about how old my kids are to figure out when that movie was, because my youngest is actually in the movie for, like, three seconds. So I was offered the part, I don’t know off of what, but the year after Devil, I had started to w...
DC: That dovetails into the story I was telling about how I got my agent in school, because Jesse Borrego, who played Jesse Velasquez on that show, went to Cal Arts with us when there was an open audition for Fame. We all bum-rushed it, and I think out of 3,000 people or something, they hired Nia Peeples and Jesse. But in Jesse fashion, all they ha...
AVC: How did you find your way into a Golden Girlsspin-off? DC: Well, they said, “They’re looking for someone to play the character of the manager of this hotel that the girls are buying,” and at that time, when you’re just grinding and they’re like, “It’s a series regular,” you’re like, “Uh, yeah, lemme read for that.” It must’ve been one of those...
DC: It was in that year when I was doing a bunch of things, and Carl Franklin said, “There’s this kid, you’ve gotta meet him. He’s doing this movie. It’s called Boogie Nights. It’s about the porn industry. He wants to meet you. I think you’d be great in this part. You gotta meet him.” I was like, “A movie about the porn industry? My parents are sti...
