00:00 I auditioned for this role years ago,
00:02 and I continue to be drawn to the story each day
00:06 and learning something new about the character that I'm playing.
00:09 What's wrong? Can't you even afford a piece of bread?
00:11 [laughter]
00:12 Mr. Foreman's journey starts in the Fifth Ward in Houston.
00:16 Family doesn't have a lot of money.
00:17 I've been to the Fifth Ward in Houston.
00:19 It's not a place that you feel like you can leave.
00:21 But one day he hears a call,
00:23 and he decides that he wants to change his life.
00:25 Job Corps will teach you the skills that can help you get a good job.
00:29 Just for once, give yourself a chance.
00:32 And that essentially happens throughout the story.
00:34 He keeps getting these messages and heeding the omens.
00:38 You got more inside than what you show.
00:40 It's about following that tug on your spirit.
00:43 Even when you can't see through the darkness of the tunnel,
00:46 you just go anyway because you have faith
00:49 that something on the other side is what's right for you.
00:52 And that's what I wanted to bring to telling this story.
