Brian Tyree Henry Takes Over Interview with Angela Bassett

Published 2023-01-19
James welcomes Angela Bassett and Brian Tyree Henry (who just so happens to be an Angela Bassett superfan) to the show. After Brian explains how influential Angela has been on his own acting career, James turns over the hosting gig to Brian and lets him interview his idol himself. After two hard hitting questions from Brian, James takes back over the hosting duties and asks Angela Basset about her first Oscar nomination for “What’s Love Got To Do With It” and how the industry has changed since those days. Then Brian Tyree Henry shares about his recent trip to Australia where he learned pretty much everything there can and will kill you.
