00:00People have often said when working with you, you know, they get delightfully starstruck
00:04and, you know, your film credit role is long, long, long, long, long.
00:08Have you ever gotten starstruck on set working with some of your fellow actors?
00:12No, not necessarily.
00:14I don't think so that I can remember.
00:16Well, first movie I ever did, I was with George Segal, and it was George Segal.
00:20But by the time we got on the set, I had done so many auditions with him.
00:24Meeting Sidney, I didn't work with him, but meeting Sidney Poitier, I think, I definitely
00:28was starstruck.
00:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:30One of the greats.
00:31Because he was sort of the northern star for me as a young black actor.
00:35It was like he was the only one that if he made it, I maybe have a chance.
00:39Wow.
00:40Absolutely.
00:41And that you did.
