      Yes, shouts out to Jason, shouts out to his mother for raising him by herself, and shouts out to all of the mothers for doing all of the work by themselves and shouts out to all of the fathers for doing all of the work by themselves, like Jason said, unfortunately in the black community there are a lot of single parent families and households where the mothers are raising the children and working by themselves and the fathers are raising the children and doing the work by themselves.

      I really appreciate Jason telling the truth about his opportunities. Many black folk are talented but if you're not connected in some way to Hollyweird (his Mom, a cousin?) You ain't getting in so easily. Either way he has to be ready when opportunities came knocking. He also pays much respect to his Mother for her guidance.

    I met him about 4 years ago. Really nice guy. Was super appreciative of me coming up to him and saying hi and not snobby at all. He even came back around just to shake my hand and say goodbye when he was leaving. I was working as a host at a restaurant in Chicago at the time.

    I've recently gained a whole lot of respect for Jason Weaver just off the fact that he's been in movies & TV shows that I watched growing up as a kid like: Drumline, ATL, Lottery Ticket, Lion King, Smart Guy, The Jacksons: An American Dream & etc but had no idea as a kid that he was the same person, especially with his role as Little Michael Jackson & a young Simba in Lion King until I got older and realized that all those movies that I watched with him in it was the same actor all along. I even recently found out that he did the hook on Chingy's song "One Call Away". He's truly a legend for sure and right now he's on my fave TV Show on television right now "The Chi"💪🏾.

    This is nuts. I didn't think very much about him or his roles, before this interview.After listening to this I'm fairly certain he slowed his career down, maybe for a more normal life. This is beyond smart, way beyond intelligent. He was definitely not limited to just acting, or singing. I would not be surprised in the least if he ran a couple of company's... MIND BLOWN! I think I'm going to save a copy of this interview, if you see him fumbling at an interview, or struggling to make points, I would know it's pretend. Unfortunately, being black sometimes we have to down play our intelligence. He's not down playing shit in this interview.. WOW!

    This guy played the best older black brother in a tv sitcom for me as a kid. “Smart Guy” was the best!

    The new Lion King was extremely good. Very engaging, pretty funny, and awesomely entertaining...I never been to Africa but this film took me there. And Im 50yo.

    So ofcourse when Jason speaks about his dad, I had to hold my tears in..since I could relate with my dad not being around 🥹

    Now this, what Jason's Mom did is straight up entertainment 101, everybody should take a course in this. Talk about better deals to form residual income and delayed gratification, kiddos to Jason's Mom. Good looking out. Everybody go to 40 minutes in on this to hear the message.
