    • @BTman58
      @BTman58 Год назад +3

      A lot of dads is an exaggeration. It is more like some "dads" don't want to be dads because there are plenty of dads being dads.

    Brian stole the show in the movie High School High. I always thought he was super funny and this is my first time seeing him do an interview outside his roles. He’s nothing like his characters and thank God for his parents and childhood so he didn’t end up like so many others.

    I never took his work seriously. I thought he was just a B-movie actor.
    This video gives me a bigger introspective of who HE was/is. He basically took the Olsen twins, straight to DVD movies guy, getting checks for (and from) a particular audience. Now I have to go back and watch his older catalogs so that he can receive some residual checks. #muchrespect

    He should be considered for a Pusha T biopic or movie character. He would kill that role. He already has the characterization.

    Don’t give a dam what anybody says. Soul plane was 🔥 with a ton of talented and funny individuals. Didn’t deserve to be called trash by the interviewer to one of the people who put his effort in regardless. And then to keep trying to say Brian Hooks is slowing down or how he handled that. Give the man his props in an interview. Not passive aggressively tear him down to his face. You can definitely tell my man was not a Brian hooks fan. Shame

    • @iamheeeem
      @iamheeeem Год назад

      @NoBiasAllBoxing What I said isn't backward. The behavior, however, is. Many people sire children and are biologically the "father." However, a dad is the one who goes beyond the creation and the momentary pleasure and grinds out the responsibility of the act. I have an adult child whom I schooled and educated about the pitfalls of being with a father vs. a dad. She is now a single mother with 3 kids. By the very 🥷 I educated her about avoiding. Now that is bASS bUCKING Fackwards .

    Most entertainers don’t have to reach Denzel or Tyler Perry status in order to leave their mark. Having the ability to touch audiences in a way that is memorable is a gift. Mr. Hook has an aura of wholesomeness, sincerity and love of craft that comes across on screen. As far as Soul Plane, I laughed through out that movie 🎬🎬🎬🎬
