I was today years old when I found out David Thomas had passed away 13 years ago. This interview made me look up him because I haven’t seen him in forever. Crazy.
The drive-by scene in this movie was the scariest one I’ve seen in ANY hood movie It was fast paced like REAL LIFE, and then cats did a U-turn and started shooting AGAIN! You really felt Willie & Roger’s fear. And watching Roger get ran over made me cry. I was 10 years old in 2007
That’s just on tv….imagine being in situations like that in real life! I’m in south central Los Angeles as we speak and been all my life so I can relate to scenes like this in movies….im not glorifying any of it this bs cuz I pray to make it out one day.
"Just leave" always was a memorable line out of that scene for me it showed the depth of his character and a softer side that didn't wanna do it but he had to
This was my favorite movie as a teenager, this movie actually got me out the streets and had me focus on basketball/college . I got a full ride scholarship to Florida Gators but got hurt and lost it. Now I’m an HVAC technician making really good money. Long story short, I could have ended up in prison or dead if I stayed in the streets and the life I was living.
Omg I remembering meeting him and he was promoting his music. He told me about this movie and now it’s one of my favorites. He was so humble then and still is now. ❤
I saw gridiron gang in theatres and I almost shed a tear when Roger got killed I was like dam classic football movie and its too bad it's never talked about as much as remember the titans or Rudy
The movie itself is a #CLASSIC on so many levels! It’s a honor to have witnessed a breakdown of the film. Salute to all parties involved for making this possible. You are greatly appreciated 🙏🏾
Definitely in my top 10 top 15 films I love sports films and this one just hit sooooo different man love this video great content and glad to see Willie doing well 💯 88 for life
Great interview! I met Jade a few times and he was cool as a fan, very down to Earth guy, but that's just us East Coasters he's Jersey I'm Philly 💯 Need to see him more on the big screen, much love #Tristate
love how you gave him his much deserved credit . Definitely in my top 5 movies. Anytime someone says the rock cant act i point them to Gridiron gang. everyone in that movie made it so believable. It being based off a true story probably made it easier for them. Hopefully your interview gives him a resurgence and more prominent roles in the near future
So i'm only 6 minutes in but off the top its interesting watching Jade Scott Yorker take himself back to the emotions of the character and be so moved by it. Thats some real passion behind the character and his craft
Yo if Bone Thugs N Harmony ever decides to have a biopic movie, Jade Yorker can definitely play Layzie Bone. And also an Allen Iverson biopic too. Dude can really act too I remember when he was the young Jesus Shuttlesworth from He Got Game
I ain't going front first time seeing bruh...this dope that u got him to do this..didn't like this movie at first but the real aspect of it caught me...appreciate this...
I Love this movie...Great Movie Willie was amazing in this movie Willie had me cry😢 his acting touched me...Him & the Rock where great together & X....
Jade is such an underrated actor! I was blown away by his performance in Gridiron Gang the first time I saw it, this dude is a gem! I've watched this movie at least 100 times since then. Hope to see him in more films please! 🙌🏽💚🫡
Great comment! I’ve seen the movie just as many times 😂 when I ran into him at one of my parties I told him we must do this for the culture. This movie is timeless because of HIM. Hope to see him in more work 🙌🏽 hopefully this opens a few doors
Yo iamMalikG nice video bro. Willie weathers did a great job too. I seen Gridiron Gang twice in the theater that movie really hit home with all the emotional scenes willie was in an that movie was the shit back in the day. Sorry to hear about the brother David Thomas passing away an also the brother Roger willies cousin was in a disney movie called up up an away I used to watch long time ago. That movie was funny as hell also.
They played this for us in my hall when I was locked up as a juvenile and when I got out I went and bought the dvd.. still got it right now, legendary fasho 💪🏾‼️
Man this is dope now I have to go watch the movie ain’t seen this classic in years we need more of these interviews if you need a co host holla at me lol
Facts! That was the main reasons why I asked him to do this with me. 1. I love movie since I was a kid 2. Fan of his acting 3. I feel like talented individuals like him should be killing it right now too!
Finally someone got an interview 😅 I've been waiting for someone from that movie to be interviewed. It's crazy how many movie reactors don't react to the movie.
This is 1 of my favorite movies.. they've been playing it a lot lately on Pluto.. at the end when they told me Bug got killed during a drive-by I was actually sad.. I was cheering for him that he would make it out of the game.. this is definitely a must watch movie and it's good to see wanna be tough guy Willie on the show 🤣🤣
Let's not forget he played Chet Felker in Snowday(2000) with Chevy Chase, Jean Smart, and the Amazingly Gorgeous Pam Grier. 1st movie I ever seen him in. I've been rocking with him ever since
Lord I watched this classic movie like numerous times. This to me showed The Rock on his more serious side as a character really. Jade played Willie well to the max which exceeded expectations.
I was in juvenile hall my first time seeing this movie. When I got out I started running back for the varsity team as a freshman. He truly impacted my life… saved me in sense. It’s crazy how a film or book can make you rethink life
This movie needs an award bro we can’t let this one slide dawg one of thee best movies hands down ion care what no one say bro watching as a kid I didn’t understand what a lot of shit meant but as an adult boi rewatching these scenes boi I got a lil teary eyed cause of thee emotion put into the shit and I can relate to a lot of this man no bs
I ain’t gonna lie, when I first saw it too I was laughing because I’m like ain’t no way that’s real the way his legs and arms was looking was crazy that’s what made it funny 🤣🤣🤣

Damn you are absolutely right. He passed in 2011. Extremely talented, rest in peace to him 🙏🏽🕊️
How did he pass away?!
Same smh rip to him
@@thedefinitionisthis i looked online and it says undisclosed
Damn really? David and I went to Dorsey High together
The drive-by scene in this movie was the scariest one I’ve seen in ANY hood movie

Same boat bruh, I was 3 years younger.
Facts in broad daylight too with and people around and something about a speeding car chasing you down until it hits you is terrifying.

This came out in 06 I was 12, rented it on dvd at family video a few times lol classic
This dude has been a great actor since a kid!! He could easily be good in Power Universe.
Low key
Willie Weathers the impact you left on my life will never be forgotten🖤
Man I’m trying to tell you made a 20 year old me wake tf up !!!
😂
This was the best of the Rock acting i swear
Facts!
Don’t sleep on the tooth fair. His acting on that was A1
Can’t forget run down
You must not watch The rock often for you to say this his best movie
lol the rock got a lot of good movies.
Let’s not forget he played Jesus shuttlesworth as a kid
HE REALLY DID I didnt realize it I always thought that kid jesus looked familiar too
He was also in the HBO series “The Corner”
Damn that was his little ahh
That’s the Bro.
@@Luke-kg7vuDidn’t he play Dre lil brother?
How is this man not a main star in many other movies the way he killed this character
We need a Allen Iverson biopic Jade is valid pick for that 💯 somebody make that happen 💯nfs who knows it could be a Hulu series 🤷🏽♂️
Facts he look like iverson and he’s a good actor he definitely can pull it off
🔥🔥🔥
That’s genius bruh
Nah iverson looks like a criminal @Primetimeford
He would be perfect to play Iverson! He got the look, the physique, the facial expressions & the voice for the role💯
Bro was running fast wit timbs on 😂
😂😂😂😂
That's that new jersey in him
Not impressed ha I was dusting dudes in state boots 😮😊
Like Jadakiss said when you run with them timbs it's gonna feel like nike airs 😂
That was a normal part of life in the 90’s lol
10/10 interview. 10/10 Actor also. S/o both of these guys.
Much appreciated 🙏🏽🔥 thanks for watching
"Just leave" always was a memorable line out of that scene for me it showed the depth of his character and a softer side that didn't wanna do it but he had to
Bro Humble I Like How You Rightfully Gassing Bro Up He Probably Left Feeling Good & Motivated 🤣🤣🔥 Dope Interview
Man I had too! 😂 People always wanna give flowers to ppl when they gone smh NAH WE GOTTA DO IT RN! While they’re still here!
This was my favorite movie as a teenager, this movie actually got me out the streets and had me focus on basketball/college . I got a full ride scholarship to Florida Gators but got hurt and lost it. Now I’m an HVAC technician making really good money. Long story short, I could have ended up in prison or dead if I stayed in the streets and the life I was living.
Amazing story! Happy the movie had such a heavy impact on you. Congrats on the growth/journey 🎉
That’s great testimony Forreal! 🎉
Cant lie my man got talent. Great acting, need to see him in more roles 💯
Young cuz did his thing. We saw the potential as the young Jesus in He Got Game! Ready to see what he’s got next on deck! All the best, fam!
Omg I remembering meeting him and he was promoting his music. He told me about this movie and now it’s one of my favorites. He was so humble then and still is now. ❤
I saw gridiron gang in theatres and I almost shed a tear when Roger got killed I was like dam classic football movie and its too bad it's never talked about as much as remember the titans or Rudy
Facts especially when they set it up in the beginning to make it seem like Roger was the main character. I was shocked af
Because remember the titans and Rudy are white movies gridiron gang is black movie that's why
This is a movie that kids now and days will take the wrong way miss the whole msg
Why hasn't this brother had more acting work he's a hell of a talent and he killed it in gridiron gang salute 🫡
Probably didn’t wanna get into all that industry ish
Bro is perfect for Allen Iverson biopic
@@champagnepettisFacts he didn't want to wear that dress
Prolly aint wanna give up no ass
Looks more like Desean Jackson
The movie itself is a #CLASSIC on so many levels! It’s a honor to have witnessed a breakdown of the film. Salute to all parties involved for making this possible. You are greatly appreciated 🙏🏾
