Colman Domingo came over to our house. The first thing you learn about him is that he goes for the embrace. It’s a Philly thing. This man is truly West Philadelphia, born and raised, to a level where he literally went to high school with Will Smith. He is also a true actor’s actor. He’s the most fashionable man. He’s Mr. Vacation. He’s 56 and looks 38. We want to know how to look like him. We want to know how he transforms into an entirely different human being right in front of your eyes. We want to know, would he wear a fat suit or gain the weight for real? We want to know whether he considers Dave a historical figure. In short, we want to know everything about this fascinating man. Thanks for watching us learn about the craft of acting from Colman. We respect you!What happens:0:00 intro0:27 60 people to cook for3:11 teaser3:34 the philly embrace4:11 going to high school with will smith4:52 how does colman look 38 at 566:17 dave's fashion choices7:15 the best 10-year era of your life8:22 being in your truth-telling season9:36 does colman believe in astrology10:51 you gotta believe in something12:25 will smith before the fresh prince13:25 the last time colman saw will smith14:38 how colman transforms into his characters16:04 the real life cast of sing sing18:30 transforming into joe jackson19:14 can dave call him cole19:36 planning the perfect vacation25:16 unpacking vs. living out of a suitcase26:28 why dave doesn't like museums27:24 dave & kristin in the sicilian catacombs28:28 stuffed animals28:52 interior design30:15 colman's jewelry30:33 dave's whole foods rubber band32:47 how dave & benny met34:43 the time dave dressed like benny35:29 when colman fell in love with benny36:39 why wasn't colman cool growing up37:50 dave's ugly child phase39:19 would colman do anything for a role40:42 does colman stay in character42:42 picking up characteristics from characters43:05 dave without a beard44:21 colman without facial hair45:08 colman's acting advice47:25 how colman builds a character48:27 an acting exercise50:06 how to stop being self-conscious as an actor50:20 is dave a historical figure52:11 colman performs shakespeare54:12 debating the acting process55:38 dave's crying scene58:29 surrendering to the process59:08 listening & reacting59:48 serving stephen spielberg & his vision1:00:34 getting out of your own way1:02:00 how colman met his husband1:02:59 how selena first told benny she loved him1:04:10 dave & kristin's first i love you1:05:38 defining the relationship1:06:34 beautifulShow socials:https://www.instagram.com/friendskeepsecretshttps://www.tiktok.com/@friendskeepsecretshttps://www.x.com/FKSpodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/FriendsKeepSecrets/https://friendskeepsecrets.comHosts socials:www.youtube.com/@bennyblancohttps://www.youtube.com/LilDickyRaphttps://www.instagram.com/itsbennyblanco/https://www.instagram.com/lildickygramhttps://www.tiktok.com/@itsbennyblancohttps://www.tiktok.com/@lildickyhttps://x.com/ItsBennyBlancohttps://x.com/lildickytweets?lang=enhttps://www.facebook.com/itsbennyblanco/https://www.facebook.com/LilDickyRapThank you Domino’s for sponsoring this episode.Thank you to Head and Shoulders for sponsoring this episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
