Hi, I'm Christian Keyes.
I play Niles Monroe on Carl Weber's "The Family Business."
"The Family Business" was originally a "New York Times"
bestselling book by author Carl Weber.
It was originally shot as a film,
an amazing film, by Tri Destined Studios.
With help of BET, it is now an incredible hot new show,
your favorite new show, my favorite new show,
that you can binge watch,
you can fall in love with right here on BET.
All previous episodes are on On Demand BET,
and today we're gonna go behind the scenes.
Today we're gonna have some of your favorite characters,
almost all of your favorite characters, actually,
and then we're gonna have some new characters
that you haven't even met yet.
You don't even know how important
or how crucial they're gonna be
to the rest of the season and future seasons.
Put your seatbelt on. Today we're gonna have a ball.
We got questions, we got dirt, we gonna dig up all the bones.
We're gonna do it all. Get ready.
Carl Weber's "The Family Business."
This is Christian Keyes and this is Carl Weber's
"The Family Business." Now, without further ado,
I wanna introduce the mainstay, the foundation, of the family
and the show and "The Family Business,"
Ernie Hudson and Valarie Pettiford.
Hey.
Yay, woohoo!
Thank you guys for joining us today.
They pay LC Duncan and the infamous Chippy.
Chippy's in the house.
Yes, she's in the house. I love what you have on, too.
Thank you, it's very Chippy.
Yes. Now, for you, Ernie,
you've played a lot of very interesting
and incredible characters in your career.
Oh, thanks.
How does LC Duncan stack up against them.
I love LC Duncan.
I guess I love all the characters
that I've been fortunate enough to play.
[inaudible] amazing man who has sort of created this world
that he occupies and he's pulled this family into it.
To me, it's a bigger than life character
and that makes it very special.
I've reached an important decision.
It's finally time for me to turn over the reins of leadership
to a new generation,
and so today, I'm announcing, reluctantly, my retirement.
What about you, Chippy?
Yes, baby.
I mean Valarie. How does Chippy stack up for you?
Also, do you share any similarities?
How is she different from you?
Well, first of all, I am so honored
to play this particular role
because I've always wanted to play a mob wife.
This is a mob wife, bar none. This is what this is.
It is a dream come true. Thank you, Carl Weber,
for writing this incredible character.
I've always had an affinity for these types of films,
the gangster, the mafia, that type of stuff.
You know, legit by day and gangster by night.
They all think they're doing well
and doing right by their choices and stuff.
Chippy is the epitome of what I think a mob wife is
and it is just so freeing and so magical to play.
Gotcha.
Not sure it's safe here. There have been inquiries.
Okay. Alright. One second, babe.
Mrs. Brewer. Thank you.
No, thank you.
I'm back.
You were listed as one of the, I believe,
top 10 outfits at the Soul Train Awards.
Yeah.
Come on through [inaudible 00:04:25]
Come on through. Come through, [inaudible]
What do you think about the fashion on the show itself?
It's fantastic. I mean, you have something for everyone
and very specific style for each character.
It's top notch.
I mean, we're a top notch family with a lot of money
and we can dress any way we dag well please.
As veterans in this game, in this industry,
in this profession, what's different,
being on the "Family Business" set, for you guys?
Well, for me-
First off, I've got to say the writing is amazing
and just coming to work, but I'm really impressed with
in all these years I've been acting,
I've been looking for a role, an opportunity,
and I'm so thankful that Carl Weber,
Indy Brown, who is a show runner for this-
Amazing show runner who happens to be female,
who happens to be a black woman.
Well, that's-
Which is a rarity, you know what I mean?
That's the thing I'm saying.
It was that it came from people of color.
I'm not taking away from wherever it comes from,
but I'm very happy that this project
and just see the diversity among the crew.
I don't know if I can speak for everybody,
but I am gonna speak for everybody.
Everybody likes coming to work.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, everyone really likes coming to work.
That's the vibe I get.
It's beautiful. There's smiles.
Everybody's respectful of each other.
There's a lot of love on the set.
I've worked with Tri Destined for quite some time
and what I love about them, from the first time I met them
until now, is their integrity, their heart, their love.
It really is like a family on this set.
The crew, there is loyalty,
and then casting these incredible actors
and having Carl Weber's incredible words to play
and have Trey at the helm directing his butt off.
I think Tri Destined, the casting,
which is pretty amazing to me,
but when I sit at the head of the table and I look out,
I believe this could be my family,
because I've been cast with some folks that I'm like,
"Ain't no way in the world I could ever"-
You know. Yeah.
But, yeah, no. It takes a little sensitivity
to be able to bring that element to play.
Yes.
Yeah, they look like my kids. They look like our kids.
It's easy to get into the believability.
Acting is believing.
If I can't believe it, then it doesn't play.
But I believe this is a family.
Yeah, I think there's an integrity to it
that is palatable, it's real, and it's very special.
We're at goddamn war!
Now, your character and the Nevada character,
you guys are really close.
My heart.
He's an up and coming actor, talented young man.
Yes, he is.
Now, is it Chippy's job to show him
or teach him the family business?
Abso-tutely, it's my job! Are you kidding me?
Yes, I've taken my boy under my wing.
That's what grandmothers think, but you know what?
I spend a lot of time with him.
I'm the one that schools the boy.
Grandmothers say-
Yeah, you know. Grandpa's there, too.
You think you do. You think you do.
You guys are bringing him up in the family way.
Yes, we're molding him. He's the future.
Yeah, he's the future.
Okay, okay.
I've been looking at this expedition
and it's only gonna be three weeks
and maybe I could go to the Hamptons afterwards?
Mexico. You wanna go camping in Mexico?
Yeah.
Well, look, first of all,
I hope that this show, not only for me
but for Carl Weber, BET, Tri Destined Studios,
has seven seasons, a couple spinoffs.
I wanna say, we really feel very blessed
to have you a part of "The Family Business,"
as well. Oh!
Thank you, I appreciate that.
We love him, yes, it's true, even though it's still weird
that you're not playing my son, but that's okay.
I know! You've been my mom in three movies.
Three movies, but yeah.
I bet y'all can't name them at home.
Tweet me and let me know.
Tweet him.
Welcome back to The Family Business,
Carl Weber's, The Family Business.
I am joined by Javicia Leslie and Arrington Foster.
They play Rio and Paris
and they are always starting some you know
what we're going to get into these characters.
Welcome.
Thank you. Thank you.
Oh, man that was such a good-
At the same time.
We're still twining.
I love it, I love it. You guys have a great synergy,
a collective energy, that's amazing.
It's on-camera and off.
It's great casting and clearly two great humans.
I'll tell you why, where you from Arrington?
I'm from Maryland, okay.
What part of Maryland are you from?
PG County.
Exactly, we're both from PG County.
Message, okay.
DMV, all day. DMV representing.
You can't even teach that.
It's just either you got it or you don't.
I like it, I like it. Now, your character Paris,
lots of ... hashtag hot ass mess.
Lots of adjectives can be used for Paris.
A lot of people love that character,
a lot of people love to hate that character
and a lot of people are in the middle.
Some of them would say love you,
some of them would say they wanted to choke you.
I don't think Paris would mind the choking.
She like that.
No comment.
Niles is not going to comment and neither is Christian.
Tell us about Paris?
You know what, I've hear that.
I've heard that she's a love or hate kind of character,
however I feel like any hate that's there
it's because she does something
that you probably have been thinking of doing
and you're just too scared to do it.
That's Paris all together.
You see a man, you want to say something and I know this
because I am not Paris in capacity, whatsoever-
That was one of my questions.
I'm very fearful, as far as going after a man that I want.
I am almost like how School Days was, not the movie,
but just in general when you were a young child
where I'll hit you to tell you I like you.
You wouldn't shoot the shot though.
It's 2019 almost, you wouldn't put one up?
Not Javicia.
Paris would take the shot. Paris would shoot the shot.
She would shoot and it would land, you know what I mean.
Okay, yeah.
I think that I get why people
would first say they don't like her,
but it's really just because they don't have the guts
to shoot their shot like she does,
especially because she lands.
Every time.
She lands, every time. Every time.
Yes she does.
Every time.
Every time.
I heard you were looking for me.
Yeah, I was looking to cash in that rain check
of buying you that drink.
Hell with the drink, I'm starving.
How about you just buy me an expensive dinner?
Episode four, she landed.
Jeez Louise.
So, continuing with that, we've seen Paris with shopping bags.
We've seen Paris with machine guns.
What exactly is the definition of her role
in the Duncan family?
So, what I love so much about Paris
is finally we see a successful black female
that has the money, she grew up with the money,
so you get to see something that's not common,
as a reflection, in Black communities.
It doesn't mean that Black people don't have it,
they have it.
We come from an area of very successful Black people.
PG County was the richest
Black county in the United States.
So, it's just like, we come from that,
but it was never represented and I love that in this show
it's a representation of Black success.
Yeah, and Black excellence.
Black excellence, I was just about to say that.
Then you also see the other side,
which is the kids that some from that,
which is what Rio and Paris represent.
We're the babies.
We're the youngest and I think that what i love about it
is that we're spoiled,
but no matter what, LC instilled us with the skills
to be able to take care of ourself
and take care of our own.
I will fight and die for my brother.
I will fight and die for London,
which, you know, we have this beef.
I will fight and die for my father.
You know how I feel about him.
Daddy no, you got exactly what you paid for.
You gotta kill her.
You didn't send me to finishing school,
you sent me to mercenary school.
Daddy, you wanted something more than Junior and the boys.
You wanted something they'd never expect, Daddy.
You wanted a secret weapon.
That's exactly what you got. You gotta kill her Dad.
You're supposed to kill who I tell ya and when.
Now, God dammit, you just killed your brother.
No matter how it goes and what you can say about her,
you love her loyalty.
Now, on various episodes,
I've seen at least four or five different colors.
Probably the whole rainbow.
What's with the ... It's fresh.
What's behind that, because I like it, it's different?
Well, you know, Rio's that character that's just different.
He stands out, he's flashy, he's sassy,
he brings a little bit of comedy to the ...
'Cause we're a very heavy, dramatic family
and Rio has his dramatic moments,
but he's always going to do something different.
I wouldn't say the black sheep, but definitely-
The Reggie?
Yeah, we're red today,
so it's just kind of one of those things
where he just does his own thing.
So, that's kind of why the colors.
I don't think we've actually seen that on television.
A character that every look is just-
A moment.
A moment. It's a vibe.
Oh shit, this is LA, I need to get my hair done,
I need to change my whole outfit,
come on, let's go Ramon.
But Rio will shoot you too?
That just takes the hair and makeup as well,
Rashida Carbo, Ashland.
But Rio will shoot someone if need be?
Oh yeah, in one of the episodes I have her back.
That's what I love is that in the great writing of Carl
Weber, is that it's a full three dimensional character.
He ain't soft, by no means.
He'll ride or die just like his twin.
I may got one bullet left,
but I'm going to save my sister, you know.
I think as the episodes come on you
get to see more and more layers of Rio.
It's so fun to play.
When Rio saved Paris's life, it's a great moment.
It was great because the guy walked up
talking about you're out of ammo and Rio was like, pow-
Just a clean shot.
I was getting my James Bond moment on.
I was like oh, Rio, today.
Yeah, yeah, I think it was the unexpected.
That's a good look. It's a good look.
You know what I love about Carl, you'll read the script
not knowing if you're going to make it to the next episode.
What I love is that with the fans and social media,
people actually thought like, damn Paris,
you done messed up the chances of your brother ...
He may not come back and it was like,
well first of all, come on now, they can't get rid of me.
Come on, all this swag.
You're so humble.
Even the hashtags, like free Rio.
I love that I'm given that voice and something that ...
We have other shows that are showcasing the LGBT,
but I think that this is a good show that's shoeing that
in this Black family, that's black excellence.
All different facets of characters.
There's a level of strength to that character
and he will shoot you
if you get out of line and you gotta respect that.
Yeah, because LC taught us all.
Gangsta, a little bit.
Yeah.
So, Miss Paris, what is up next romantically,
for the Paris character?
You.
Oh boy.
Darrin Dewitt Henson who plays Orlando Duncan
and I have with Sean Ringgold who plays Junior.
Welcome, fellas. Thank you.
What's going on?
What's going on, man? I'm excited to have you guys.
I'm gonna jump straight to it cuz there's a lot of questions
they want to know the answer to.
I already know the answers but we want to get to
[inaudible]. Orlando, your character,
has just been given the keys to the kingdom.
You are now the new CEO of Duncan Motors
and the family business itself. You've had a lot of opportunity
to interact with a lot of characters.
Do you have a particular
one that you really love shooting scenes with?
Yeah, I love shooting with L.C.
Duncan played by Ernie Hudson, Pop.
How in the hell you expect to run this company
if no one can reach you in a crisis?
Crisis?
Did I stutter?
Look, Harris. Let's roll out. Let these two talk..
Harris. All right, let's go.
Look, Pop. I'm sorry. But what the hell is going on?
I mean not only is he just a OG in the industry
but I get to learn from him every time
I'm on camera with him. I get to learn something new.
There's a nuance that happens each and every time
so very similar to the character
Orlando, he's learning and growing
just from being around his father.
I like it. I like it.
Ernie's got 50 years in and I was floored ...
he doesn't ... Black really don't crack.
Like don't crack. Nope.
I love that. And beige don't age.
Sean Ringgold. Now, listen, you play Junior.
Junior Duncan, that's right now.
What is Junior's role in the Duncan family?
Junior is the protector, the enforcer.
You know I've had to really step up and I have watch everybody.
I have to watch my brother's back, Paris.
Make sure Mom and Dad, everybody's good so once
it's time to put in that work, it gets real.
Yeah, it's believable. I feel like you could hurt
a couple of guys and not break a sweat.
Watch your tone.
Yeah, see. I'm sorry. I apologize.
I come in peace, brother. I come in peace.
Gotcha and that's good. That's good.
We don't want no smoke. We don't want no smoke.
Quick question: Now this is clearly not your first rodeo.
You've been on major shows before.
How did that help you prepare for this type of role here?
I believe being on other shows afforded me the opportunity
to be aware of what's coming next, right?
So there's a popularity that grows.
People recognize you in the street.
There is a sense of responsibility
and that's one of the things that I learned to break down.
The word responsibility means responding to my ability,
which is endless.
And it's a state of come as you are.
You just can't stay as you are. The more responsibility
you have the more that you have to prepare.
There's no such thing as having that great deal
of responsibility and not preparing.
They say success wakes up at 4am in the morning and it does.
So it's about preparing what comes next
whether it's in Darrin's life
or whether it's in the life of Orlando, we have to prepare.
Gotcha. I like that. Good answer.
Yeah, you've done this before.
But speaking of what comes next though,
hold on while you're giggling I've got something for you
because word on the street is-
What happened?
That Junior has a love interest coming.
I believe her name is Sonya.
Is that the character's name? Sonya?
That is her name.
Sonya, yes, played by Braille Evans.
She's wonderful. Beautiful spirit.
Excuse me. Can I talk to you for a second?
Sure. Shouldn't you be in with the Duncans
but how can I help you?
You can start by telling me your name.
My name is Sonya.
Pretty name for a pretty lady.
Thank you.
Just gorgeous on screen.
Our chemistry is fantastic. I love working with her.
Just it feels right. It's a great match.
You're gonna see Big Sexy come on.
Oh. I like this.
I want to watch this show if I wasn't on it
and if I didn't know you,
didn't know you, this is must-see TV.
I think that's the dynamic of it.
Even with my brother, Vegas,
who's played by Michael Jai White.
He's still a part of everything that's going on,
is still somebody that we look up to and still somebody
that is very feared on the street as well.
And not only that, from a physical perspective
of what he can do
but because of his mind and how calculated he is.
And as we saw in one of the episodes
I go to him and explain a decision that Pop has made,
which upsets him a great deal.
You know what, brah? You're the head of the family.
Now you do whatever you got to do to bring my brother back.
You understand me?
But they want Miguel back.
It has to be a trade and Pop ain't gonna-
Hey, I don't give a ... I don't care what Pop wants.
You do whatever you've gotta do to bring my brother home.
I get that. But what about Pop's?
Pop's gonna have his own problems once I talk to Mom.
So there's a lot more coming so everybody's gotta stay tuned.
Exactly. And I don't ...
do you ever look around on set and say like, "Wow!"
Because of the cast, the amount of talent,
the group of names that are making up this cast?
Yeah, we're surrounded
by a great group of people to work with,
to help tell the story that's unfolding in front of the world.
Take a look at my wife. Is she worth it?
Because see I married her and I can tell you she ain't worth it.
Now, you need to ask your mind is she worth dying for?
Mmm, mmm, mmm. Look at you.
Still my knight and shining armor.
Yeah, whatever.
Boo, baby. I just want to have some fun.
C'mon.
I think one of the most amazing things about it
is we're getting incredible feedback rapidly
and that's exciting more than anything.
You know when you do a play, you get feedback immediately.
This is almost happening now whether it's on social media,
whether it's in the super market
or driving down the highway in the car.
People are honking going, "Yo, Orlando."
Is he alive? Is Rio alive, Orlando?
As far as I know he's fine, Ma.
[inaudible 00:06:56] I know that look.
It's Pop. He's been shot and it's not looking good.
38 years. He's always called me back.
38 years. He's always called me back.
I knew something was wrong. I knew it.
I knew it. Oh God.
Question. And I'd like both of you guys to weigh in on this.
Why do you think people are receiving the show so well
and falling in love with it so fast?
Well, to be honest I believe it's because
everybody loves chocolate.
Okay.
I think people love this show
because everybody loves chocolate.
No-
Keepin' it real.
Cuz everyone is represented on the show
and I think to see men that are strong, intelligent
and empowering and powerful and protective,
I think that's what we need in our society
that the men go out and get the work done.
And we have within Javicia's character a woman
who can be silent and deadly at the same time.
Danny watch out. Danny watch out.
Go go go.
[inaudible 00:08:41] Where are you? Go go go go back.
Okay, well you know? And then also-
And then we've got Big Sexy.
And the fashion, and the cars and we've got
Big Sexy over here.
So you know they gonna tune in for that as well as the writing
and Carl Weber showed out on this
as far as putting together circumstances
that you ... that end up being nail biters.
And you're like, "Wait, what's next?
I've gotta wait til next Tuesday?"
I'm offended at the end of every episode
that I've gotta wait another week.
Welcome back to Carl Weber's, The Family Business.
With me now are Miguel A. Nunez Jr, and Ms.Tami Roman,
who play London and Harris, welcome.
Thank you.
Welcome, welcome.
Thank you Christian.
How you guys doing?
I'm blessed man. Blessed and highly favored.
You guys look amazing. Thank you.
I see the green and the green. That's successful.
Well, you know that's how we do.
That's my beautiful wife.
Okay, okay. Real quick. I wanna talk about
one of your favorite lines of mine personally.
And I know a lot of people re-tweeted it
and was talking about it,
"Before there was a Paris there was a London."
Mommy. Paris [inaudible] gun.
Before there was a Paris, there was London. Let's go.
Hey, get into it now.
What is that? Process it.
Character where ... Oh yeah, I got it.
But I want you to elaborate on that for the folks at home
who might not have got it.
Well I think as I play London, Paris is my younger sister.
So, she doesn't understand that every road
that she's trying to travel,
I've already done it. You know what I mean?
And I was good at it, so you got big shoes to follow.
But, London is at a place in her life where she's trying to,
I don't know, run from her past and be something different.
But, she's constantly looking in the mirror
and the reflection is, "Hey, don't you remember me?"
So, she's being dragged in because she's a Duncan,
but she would like to let it go and move on.
Got you.
Now, in this dynamic between Harris and London in the show,
there's an element of domestic violence, physical abuse.
Is that something that we're continue to see?
Calm down, okay. Calm down.
Mommy? Yes?
Are you okay? I am.
Yeah, Momma okay.
So we weren't going to go all into this.
And now you all trying to ...
Listen Ike. First of all, this is almost ...
don't get all balled up on the show.
But no, is that something because
that's a very relevant topic.
Is that something the show's going to continue to address
and deal with? Speak on it.
Well, I think we'd be remiss if we didn't address it,
because it is happening in today's society.
A lot of women are going through this type of situation,
and trying to figure out how to deal with it.
Now, Miguel is luckily just playing a character.
Don't forget that, you all.
Yeah, don't hate him so much.
You know. Just a little.
And we have to bring to life
what Carl Weber did so fabulously,
which that was an element in the book,
so we have to make it [crosstalk 00:02:37].
The real issues of life basically.
And Andy Brown is one of the executive producers,
and tried studio only-
And show runner.
And show runner. She came up with ...
We're going to start visiting some domestic abuse shelters,
so we can come at it from a healing point,
and just not entertainment.
Because like you said, this is an issue that's out there.
All right now, Harris,
in regards to the Harris character,
because he has so much going on. The family attorney,
you tried to or thought abut killing L.C. Duncan,
and he eventually kills his own father Sal Dash.
When I came in here they told me I had to make a choice.
You know the funny thing is,
you made that for me a long time ago.
How does it feel to be the JR Ewing of the family?
Well, every successful TV show, our series has elements,
and they love, they hate, their whole, the this,
and this has all of those elements.
And, I just happen to be one part of that element.
And, that is a really fine line to play,
to be the attorney for a powerful family
and at the same time, he ...
I don't know if the people got that he was my father.
A lot people got that he was my father.
So, I was just in a really bad situation,
and I weighed the options.
First of all, if you saw how nervous I was in that car.
You were sweating bullets.
I thought I was going to die. And I've heard a lot of people,
they really loved that scene because they said, "I felt it."
And everybody's ...
Carl Weber's writing is so brilliant, everybody's just,
"I was just waiting for him to turn around and blow you away.
I thought the driver was going to turn around."
And everybody ... It's just the writing,
and intensity of the moment.
But, to play that kind of a ...
It's a really fine line, because I mean, I got my wife,
I got this one this side, and Sal Dash,
it was either my life or L.C.'s. So I had to make that choice,
and I think I chose the right ...
I think you did, because let's be clear, okay?
The Duncan's are an affluent, prominent,
African-American family
that mean business in a real way.
So, why wouldn't he want to be a part of that?
But, here again, you're analogy, the JR in the building.
You know, we're trying to live up to the shows,
the Dallas, and the Falcon Crest,
and the Knots Landing, where [crosstalk 00:04:48]
you're going to have people that you love,
people that you don't like,
but it all collectively works together,
and that's why the family business is-
And it's weird for me, because my entire life,
"Oh, we love the drama, man. We love you. There's love."
[crosstalk 00:04:59].
I will never in my life had them hating me like this.
And at first I had a problem with it, because my mom be like,
"Why you have to play that character?"
And I'm like, "Well, everybody is."
And then Carl talked to me, he was like,
"Man, listen to me. Every show got that."
So, I'm embracing it, and I'm having fun with it.
What was it like working with Armand Assante?
Absolutely amazing.
He's done so many amazing, wonderful projects.
I loved him in Gotti.
And to work with somebody as brilliant as he is,
it makes you better.
And just to be on the set with him,
I mean he's an incredible actor, and I really enjoyed it.
Yeah, he was really intense when I worked with him as well.
And it was incredible. I personally enjoyed it
when he cracked you upside your head with that glass.
I know you did. I saw that. Yeah.
It was just joy in my soul. But anyway.
I had to bring that part up though.
It was one of my favorite parts.
Okay.
You have to eliminate Orlando.
No.
Oh.
I'll settle for the payload when I cut the hood of snake.
And for the last time,
I'll see who's the king of this, not over on
[crosstalk 00:06:00]. But that shit hurts.
You took it like a champ.
It really hurt though. It really did.
But, you know, you're very method that way.
You probably wanted him to crack you in your head.
That's what I did.
If they ever show you a blooper reel,
you'll see how much I wanted it,
and then after the crack, how much I didn't want it.
Yeah I know.
Now, we have a husband and wife, super team, Emilio Rivera
and let me make sure I get this right, Yadi Valerio Rivera.
Right on brother. Perfect.
Yes, I get a raise or something.
You got it perfect.
This is amazing. What's it like, first of all this is for me,
forget them at home for a second.
Love you all, I mean it.
What's it like playing husband and wife on TV
and being husband and wife in real life
because your character Alejandro is married to Consuela.
You know it's good because at home
we get to study with each other. Give each other notes.
So when we get to work, we're ready to work, you dig?
And I just try to make it easy for everybody.
But this is good,
get to play something that we're not at home.
When we're at home I'm more like kick back kind of law
abiding citizens and over here we're not.
So it's cool man.
Without stepping on each other's toes.
Giving each other the freedom to just go to work.
You do you. I do me. Just get our job done.
And just be happy for each other.
Be happy for each other, yeah.
That's amazing. Now, your character, Consuela,
I feel like she's suspects that there's a little more going on
as far as your son's death. Is that correct?
Her mother instinct, yes.
It's time that we take our revenge.
[Spanish].
What are you asking me to do?
Send a man to their death because of a rumor?
I am asking you to be the man that my son looked up to.
I am asking you to be the man that I married.
Alejandro Zuniga, a man that fears no one.
In episode four she was leaning on Alejandro's
back a little bit about his lack of activity.
Well, that's a mother. I'm going to be a mother cub.
Yeah, I'm definitely suspicious
and I'm going to defend my son's honor
and my baby. [crosstalk].
You think there's going to be
some colliding of families in the future, you believe?
Well, I don't know.
But the Duncan's better watch out.
All I can say is just that was my baby
and I am going to make sure
I find out what happened to my son.
Mama bear don't mess around man, you know.
Wow. And me I'm more the vicious man
where I got to keep this organization
running by keeping a level head. You just can't jump into stuff
because then you can just mess everything up.
Right.
But, you know you got to listen to the wife too.
She's pushing me a little bit.
Are there any similarities in the dynamic
of the TV husband and wife couple
and the real life husband and wife couple?
You know man-
Without getting yourself in trouble.
You know what? I learned late in life
that a happy wife, happy life and you know what, it works man.
It really does. Oh, yeah. I'm cool.
In our house he's the king
and he'll get treated like the king
as long as the queen is always happy.
And she's always happy.
You all heard that at home?
We are glad to have you both as part of our family
on The Family Business.
Thank you.
I'm here with Carlos Sotelo
and Franky G, you play Juan and you play Miguel.
Welcome. Glad you guys are here.
Thank you.
Thank you for having us.
The Miguel character was your first major role.
What does that feel like, man?
It was a huge blessing
In disguise but it was a blessing
and the opportunity came up and I took it.
I said yes and I ran with it.
Now this is a car.
You sure have good taste.
Why don't you get inside, feel how to leather hug you.
You're kidding me right?
Get in. I promise you've never experienced anything like it.
All right.
She looks good on you.
How would you like to own this baby?
You're not serious right?
Good. And I'm happy for you.
Congratulations, you did a darn good job.
Franky, you play Juan.
Now your character hasn't been established yet.
No.
They gone get to know you in episode five.
Oh yeah. Which comes on January 8th.
Right.
9, 8 Central, only on BET.
But Juan is in an interesting place.
Your character has ties to and loyalties to the Duncan family
and the Zunega family, correct?
Yes.
Tell me about it.
Well, it's tough.
Because I'm loyal to both of them.
But when it comes down to business, business is business.
And when you step into my business, to our business,
then you have to deal with it, and deal with me.
500,000. Wholesale, or retail?
That's the wholesale price.
Your retail is in the neighborhood of two million.
Think of this as a gift from the Duncans.
To an old friend.
What's the catch? I've known L.C. for many years.
He's an honest and fair businessman,
but I've never known him to give away anything else for free.
No catch. Juan, it's changing times.
Now I will say this.
A lot of you guys, they were sad to see the Miguel character go.
I will vouch for Tri Destined and BET,
you show you and do your job,
they'll find something else for you.
So don't sweat it. You died like a champion.
Whoever Paris ends up with after you,
I'm pretty sure he's gonna be hell of a guy.
I sure went out with a bang, didn't I?
Yes, yes you did go out with a bang.
Welcome back to Carl Weber's The Family Business.
Now we've interviewed and introduced
lots of amazing characters,
we got a lot of surprises for you guys.
Starting with Ms. Kj Smith and Mr. Jaylen Moore.
Now Kj plays Sasha and you play Manny, correct?
Correct.
Okay. Now we don't know a whole lot about Sasha yet,
but can you give us anything? Can you let us in on something?
I can give you ... [crosstalk] talk about Sasha.
I can give you a little bit.
Okay. Like this much.
Okay, just ... Just ...
I can't.
I am an international hitwoman.
All right.
I've been away training for several years,
just getting better and better at what I do.
I come into the picture and I shake things up a little bit.
Assignment completed.
We're gonna need a clean-up crew.
Good, nothing wrong with a little shaking.
Shaking's good. A little shimmy.
Shake and a ... yeah.
Oh she shakes all right.
A little razzle dazzle. Excuse me?
Oh wait a second.
Sasha shakes. I didn't say Kj shakes.
Oh, okay.
Sasha. Sasha.
Do you know something I don't? Or ...
Maybe.
Message.
Tell us about ... Tell us about Manny!
Blame it on Carl Weber. Blame it on Carl.
Tell us about Manny. Give us a little.
Manny, aka Manuel Zunega.
Manny is, well let's see. Sasha and Manny
went to school together. Some may call it "Spy school".
Assassin academy?
Others may call it like Quantico, I don't know.
It all depends on how you want to perceive it.
Right.
So she's a bit of a badass. Manny's not too bad himself.
Thank you, Manny.
And we have a big history together,
that things will unfold in the season.
Sounds like some heat.
Manny likes to do things his way. His way or the highway,
which Sasha loves, I think.
And it leads us through a whole adventure that unfolds,
with a lot of crossing of families, we should say.
Okay. Okay, that's telling a lot without telling too much.
Exactly, man.
You did good right there. You've done this before.
That was really good. Well done.
All right. That's it, thanks for joining us.
What? We can't give y'all all the secrets,
we've got to save some for the upcoming episodes.
Y'all being stingy.
Before we go, I want to thank Maurine, Connie and Scott.
And Marisa, Courtney and John.
And remember.
Tuesday nights, 9, 8 Central, watch Carl Weber's ...
The Family Business. Only on BET.
Did we get it? Yes!
