00:00Rob Markman So this year, too, Kane is going to be working
00:02alongside people like Snaps, Pops, and Marshetty, too.
00:06But I wanted to ask you as an actor, how was it like working along with legends like Wendell
00:10Pierce and Tony Danza, man?
00:12Kane The Man I can talk all day about that, truthfully.
00:19It's really just a blessing.
00:22And for them to be so open and willing to share, as people that have been doing this
00:27for so long and have such careers, I just sit back, shut up, and watch.
00:33I take in the process.
00:35I ask questions if they come up, if I'm curious about something.
00:39And again, they're beyond willing to share.
00:42So it's cool being able to be in that space and watch them do what they do in such a close
00:48proximity after seeing it on screen and on stage for so long.
00:51But to be in the same room and call this person a scene partner, call this person a colleague,
00:57it's like, you know, yeah.
01:00Thank you, Sasha.
