How LaKeith Stanfield Broke Into Hollywood [FULL INTERVIEW]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2017
- Actor LaKeith Stanfield shares his beginning desire to be an actor, making a long (2 hour plus) train ride from Victorville, CA to Los Angeles, CA for numerous auditions in the early days of his career. He touches on how he began Googling how to act and where to find acting work as a way to learn more about the profession. LaKeith also talks about the bias of other actors who may have received classical training versus an intuitive, practiced acting style.

Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2u66V1J
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z

" I'd rather get rejected than to miss it" Powerful
Honestly, its a cliche quote worded differently.
"You miss all the chances you don't take."
Vividly It's a similar sentiment but a different quote, not necessarily a cliché.
@@vividly94 Clichés verify their validity through repeated proof of concept. If it works it works.
YES! I love that too haha. As a talent agent myself that just gave me chills man. I look everywhere and anywhere for people like this.
@@vividly94 there’s a difference between missing your shot and not taking it
5 minutes are enough to realize how freaking smart, talented and motivated this man is. He's gonna be huge soon. He deserves it all.
Ranca666 and he's literally in EVERYTHING. I firmly believe he's our generation's Denzel.
I agree
I think he's a little too volatile and real to be compatible with a lot of different people. He's amazing, but I can't see him having the mass appeal of someone like Denzel. I actually think that's a good thing for his work; Denzel has been in some real stinkers.
He fawken sucked in deathnote
You’re absolutely right, you posted this 3 years ago, he’s came so far now!! I just watched him in Judah’s and the black messiah, he’s everythingggg🙏🏽
He's honestly one of my favourite new actors and the fact that he's not 'trained' is just so inspiring. Like, if you really want to do something then just go for it.
Edil Abdi Omar he inspired me to think about acting cause he's such a wonderful actor in the movies like death Note and crown Heights I can't wait to see what he's next movie is
Getting trained to act is a good thing, but people also have to know the marketing side, business, how to find work, etc. A drama degree is not a guarantee. But acting classes can open many doors.
PurelyAfrican Things change. It's a new era. He's already past being type casted, look at the variety in the roles he's already landed. Talented actor.
LOL.. Acting is an incredibly intricat skill that 99% of the time needs intense traininl like any other skill.. its like saying you don't need training to be a Doctor or electrician.. 1% of actors can act without training..
YEEEEESSS!!!!!!!!! He moved so quickly an escaped the type casting
so happy for him
"Meant to be rejected but be in the room." THAT'S some powerful words right there... wow man.
Art'uro TM where?
Alvaro Elias it's on his right hand
Is not what you think he means, he literally means in the room, like be rejected but still get a feel for how auditions are supposed to go and learn to be in the room when auditioning. He explained it on another interview
RAJ Mecco What do you think she thinks it means? Lol
I know. I wrote that down. ...Powerful.
As a talent agent I completely approve of this message. That agent that found him is one of the best because he had a great eye for this amazing actor with such range and passion.
“I’d rather get rejected than miss it”. Words to live by.
He dropped straight gems for 9 mins
one could say... _uncut_ gems
This guy was great in 'Get Out', he was the stand-out performance in my opinion. He stole the scene he was in. I'm gonna keep my eye on this guy.
LJY08 watch Atlanta on FX. He's a major character
Divinum
Was just about to say that. He's got a long path ahead
LJY08 watch death note on Netflix, the movie. He was so good in that
He legit has no bad performance that i have seen of
and now he's in the star studded movie: knives out! the kids fucking made it!
One of my favorite actors of this generation, inspired me to become a filmmaker.
That's pretty awesome. How exactly did LaKeith inspire your filmmaking journey?
Film Courage I was watching his BC interview when it first released because his character Darius in Atlanta drew me in. In a way I am very similar to Darius and LaKeith at the same time because he played the character effortlessly. At least I saw it that way. I said "wow this guy's a really good actor". When I heard his story on how he became who he is today I said "hell I took drama at a magnet school" maybe I should get back in. I knew right away that I wanted to be behind the camera instead of in front of it. I havent acted in at least 15-16 years. I'd feel more in my zone behind the scenes. My creativity has lead to a project called "30 Years", it'll be a doc/mov about the last 30 years of this countries chaos while I bike from NY to LA. Where I hope to meet other filmmakers to help me complete this project.
Film Courage I also watched your "Film Finance" video for help on that. I figured I'll finance this myself since I have a year to save. I doubt anyone would be interested in financing my ideas so I have to do it on my own to display my passion for this and also provide amazing content.
Manny Antonio hey how is your project going? Any update. I’m a photographer filmmaker near LA always looking to collab
Good for you! Much success on your filmmaking journey
I met him on tthe set of Atlanta (I was a extra playing a sheriff)) and he was a pretty kool guy
Mlucious67 were u in the alligator man scene? Lmao
Alligator man?!
He was in alligator
FieldOfWheat95 there’s no need to prove anything, he was an EXTRA!
Mlucious67 what agency are you with
hes just so laid back makes him so cool
Really? When I first saw him, I thought of a shy 7th grader in the corner of the classroom with a lot of brains and looks lol. I have a big imagination
I love the funny, laid-back, street-genius character he plays on Atlanta
He is so remarkably intelligent for a person who wasn’t “trained” I love that about him!
super talented and so freaking handsome
Emily hancock it's the calm, peaceful cocoa eyes. My nephew has eyes like that. I just try to teach him to respect ladies,men, whatever he may be in to....and he's into a lot...
He rly stands out as Darius in Atlanta !!! His performance is phenomenal
Lots of wisdom being offered here that can be adapted to almost anyone's desire to fulfill their life and find something meaningful. If you're a young adult, Lakeith Stanfield's words should not go amiss. Peace King.
Christian Landa I'm 23 and I am planning to go into the entertainment industry and Lakeith helped me out even MORE with myself.
He's been bae since Selma. Please don't sleep on him y'all. He's such a great actor!
He definitely is bae lol
He’s absolutely gorgeous. His face is so handsome.
The "Modeling and Acting Career Center" that initially taught him and connected him to agents was John Casablancas. I lived in Atlanta and went there and booked a ton of work. Props to JC and another JC alum!
Both of their speaking voices are nice... Especially hers!
Great actor, great story. Awesome work on Atlanta. Can't wait to see what he does on future projects.
Terrence Cagandahan You should watch him on Netflix in the movie “Death Note”. He plays the character L
Terrence Cagandahan If you haven't you should watch Short Term 12. Lakeith does a great job in it, and it also stars Brie Larson, Rami Malek, and Stephanie Beatriz if you're a fan of any of them
His Intelligence and down to earth attitude is a big turn on. Not to mention he is very talented.
“It is a job” “It needs to correlate with your frequency” “Never judge the character” so many key moments in this conversation ♥️
Not to be superficial... but I am tryin so hard to focus on what they say but GODDAAAAAYUM can't take my eyes off lakeith face ❤
His is my favorite character on Atlanta. His role in Short Term 12 also super powerful. Can't wait to see Sorry to Bother You...This dude is truly an inspiration. Would love to meet him someday.
What a difference a day makes a year makes but most importantly desires make. Stay focused. Get yours.
Yes. This. Lakeith is a hardworker and the real deal. I mean have you seen Short Term 12 y'all?
His work ethic speaks volumes. The output and work shows both on and off screen. Major takeaways.
His voice is so chill and bad ass 😎
I love you Lakeith, please never ever give up no matter what life throws at you.
So cool that he's on here. Nice job film courage.
Thanks, this was an exciting day for us. We're thrilled to share this interview. LaKeith's work in Crown Heights is top notch along with the rest of the cast. Highly recommend watching the movie.
Film Courage Do a video about how independent college students can succeed who do not major in film. There are alot of them taking that route.
We are planning to do a video on film school or no film school.
He deserves to be L on the Netflix Deathnote series. This dude is going to be a legend.
I first saw him on Straight Outta Compton, and then everywhere else after lol. He gives me as a young upcoming actor.
and a star is born, love this dude in get out and dope. he has that face and emotion that you can't foget.
blippi blipblop watch him in Short Term 12 it’s his first movie and you’ll see how much range he has
Sometimes I feel like the work I put into it, is not worth the reward I get out of it. But it's interviews like these that get me back on track. Great rewards only come to those who struggle through adversity.
Wise man. Really handsome too.
LaVar you sound stupid.
Jenni Mata ur cute tho
Can't wait until I'm on Film Courage. He is an inspiration!
D. Gray 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Watch him in Short Term 12 it’s his official movie it shows how talented he is and how much range he has as an actor
Omg one of my favorite actors!!!
Yes! Hope you enjoyed this one.
This dude is real! He is right..you are always in competition with only yourself....
this is the BEST video I watched for advice for acting! literally.
Agreed!
I recongnised him from Netflix’s ‘The Amazing Jessica James.’ Can’t believe I still haven’t watched Atlanta. Great energy from this guy, may be contiune to rise!
This Is Yem I truly enjoyed that show
Have you caught any of 2 Dope Queens on HBO?
Atlanta is a great show....
Not to be dramatic but I love him and I’m so glad to see black actors like him out here
He's a great actor. His character in Atlanta is good.
Very well spoken, he’s going to make it far👏🏾
Wow and swoon - This casual interview, just off the cuff, with such honesty, generosity of spirit - should be a TED talk for any artist in any field. LaKeith is so good in every role I've ever seen him play, and clearly it was his fearless perseverance that shaped his skills and determination. That is a mighty message. It's a better world when people like LaKeith are in the spotlight.
Nice, to see him on here! And giving great information for people interested in the acting.
"I'd rather be in the room than miss it." The only thing I love more than Lakeith's talent is his mind.
We are so glad you made it man! Love your work!
His answers apply to life, not just acting.
If u want to go into acting,be sure that acting is what u want to do,ppl look at the glitz and the glamour and think it's a bed of roses. Know from now that u will face alot of rejections..I will also suggest to go into other avenues of filmmaking whether it's writing ,editing,direct or fashion
ruddiato This is my path, yes I want to act but I also want to write, produce, direct.. anything that has to do film or even musical art. If acting doesn't work out for me than I'll be taking my path with being the person that works behind the scenes with cameras, lighting, sound etc I want to be involved in some way within the art industry.
Thank you
@@aisiabiddle9690 SAME, I feel the same way!
What a true, phenomenal artist! This was so inspiring!
Have you ever heard someone speak and felt like you've been waiting for them your whole life, like they're that one good friend you have always wanted but never had? That's how Lakeith makes me feel.❤
I’m truly grateful for this interview. I’m leaving wiser and a little more confident in my journey.
Thank You
I hope all of you take goodness from this interview too
Wow man, I can relate to what he's saying. Nice interview.

What an insightful interview! This is such a good message for any young performer, especially in the midst of facing rejection.
God I love Lake thank you film courage

Also to constantly expand yourself in order to be more capable of accessing more characters and experiences is such great advice. I love that he feud the most rewarded from stepping out of his box. Me too
Well said! Thank you!
Well-balanced mindset. Great advice, thanks!
He should narrate or do readings. Love his voice and what he has to say
Smart and thoughtful cat. It's so good to hear an interview with an actor you admire and he turns out to be deep and cool in real life too. Going to check out more of his work.
How did he get so enlightened at such a young age too? Inspiring.
