Got to give it up to Wesley.
He's played a teenager for 30 years, LOL.
Him and Bianca Lawson😅
Good looking brutha❤❤
@@vickyserr 💯👏🏾👏🏾💓
Lmaoo
I read it, "he's BEEN a teenager for 30yrs"😂. I was wrong, but accurate either way.
Roll Bounce is a comedy but at its core it was an amazing movie about a family struggling with grief. Everybody in the movie did really well.
Agreed!
So true good movie
Roll Bounce is a great family movie. It is a clean movie with a positive message about family, friendship, and love. The writers didn't have to resort to vulgar language or over-sexualizing individuals. Anyone can relate to this movie and appreciate how it captures the coming of age. A+++
Bow wow almost made me cry messing up his dad car 😢
that car was classic 🤣
I still love “Roll Bounce.” When it is available on cable, I watch it & love it. It is so underrated. It is really an entertaining movie..😃
Wesley is a way under utilized actor!!..this brother deserves his due and his respect!!
He’s my man and a dope cat!!!
I agree ❤❤
You talking bout that nigga Sweetness? You cant live that down.
City Guys will forever be one of the most underrated shows that was ahead of it's time.
I loved that show
I always loved that show it's a shame it's not in syndication or showing reruns
@@jonathancue1584That explains why Peacock won't pick up the TNBC shows
Man I loved watching City Guys on Saturday mornings!
Yeah. That was cool.
Wesley johnathon n Nick Cannon used to look so much alike😅
He is the serious version of nick😂
Orlando Jones in my humble opinion
@@carltonbanks2865 I can see it
@user-Tripleggggggg Wesley finer❤ alway thought he was cute since his lil certain tv show days on sister sister other stuff.
@@MsDisneylandlover yea I Rembr the girls was crazy over dude 😂wasn’t no girls talkin about Nick like that when I was kid
Us millennials grew up with so many great teen idols. From Jason Weaver, Merlin Santana, Tia & Tamera. So many, but He's definitely one of my favs.
Bianca Lawson
@@brandonbates9259 yesss she was everywhere too.
@@MissJaynet and she hasnt aged a bit..I'm a also add Omar Gooding to that list
Yes don't forget Aalliyah !
U mean 80s baby's cuz everybody u named 40+
Wesley...no one else could have played Sweetness the way you did! Everything you wanted that character to embody...you gave him! He was my favorite character in that movie hands down and didn't say a word!
When Wesley said, "Let's do this, Johnny!" in Roll Bounce, I definitely thought Morris Day. Wesley was brilliant in the film.
Yep
I really hated him. Great role
My favorite line in the movie.
His approach was absolutely genius. He emphasize that old school villian. Even his entrance rolling out slow in a semi "I know karate Pose" with his hands like this🤙🤙. He reminded me of ShoNuff da Masta and Jim Kelly..without being a rip off. Sweetness still had his own persona.
Wesley Jonathan Killed in Roll Bounce the dude's build was crazy I'm really confused how we don't see him in alot of things but the guy has skills!
If you dont play the politics and kiss ass you dont get the roles thats why so many talented people like him are not as successful or popular as we know they can and should be!!
@@MegaredroninThat part will always be unfortunate. Because you have some quality actors/actresses who are dedicated to their craft and who are deserving to show their talents on screen. As Wesley and you mentioned, the red tape and ass kissing politics keeps ppl like them from showing their talents on the big screen. Especially when they represent us as a culture.
Him and Orlando Jones, as I always stated, would've been a nice casting as brothers in a comedy-dramedy role...js...great content as usual fam!
That would be fantastic!!..Somebody needs to make that happen.
Thanks for tappin in!💯🙏🏾
He can play Gregory's Uncle on Abbott Elementary.
And Nick Cannon as the third brother
Love the part when he makes Bow wow sister faint😂. Classic movie for sure
Even tho you barley saw sweetness in that movie he made a impact more than he thinks 💯💯💯
I can't imagine anyone else playing Sweeeeet-nessss! The body was bodying. Wesley is such a great talent so underrated
We really got some cool brothas and sistas out here that have been so talented
Your name is SOOO hared you it's sounds like an music artist if u are I'm too keep going like I told Freddy p and Sara from the band 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾💯
I agree! Love my Bros & Sistas
I have tons of respect for this brother’s journey
Roll Bounce is one of my favorite movies. It is a good a family movie. Sweetness is one of many memorable characters from the movie.
Mine too!
Nick cannon is the blue/ red spider man suit…. Jonathan was the black spider man suit 😂
😂
Nobody could have played Sweetness but him! Loved that movie ❤
C-I-T-Y you can see why, these guys the new guys, more than streetwise... ❤
Ayyyyeee 😂🤣
I was looking for this lol 😂
The movie was really good, it was like for once nothing about drugs.
...and twerking
The first time i saw Wesley i thought he was related to Julius Carrey, and as i was watching this video, Julius Carrey came to my mind. If there was a reboot of The last dragon, he will be perfect for Shonuff.
I've never seen him in the same room as Nick Cannon.
Ever! 😂😂
I think They might be the same people.
They’re in the same movie that he’s talking about.
@lisfine not in the same scenes tho lol.
I swear I was watching Roll Bounce the other day. I loved me some Wesley Jonathan I still do. I've been a fan of his since his tv show "City Guys".
Get Khleo Thomas on the show he played the roll of Mixed Mike in the Roll Bounce movie as well as Hector Zero Zeroni in the Holes movie. And he used to a part of Bow Wow’s crew and he was apart of Soulja Boy’s label SODMG.
The cast was perfect glad it turned out this way
Honestly he is one of the main reasons why I watch roll bounce to this day
SWEETNESS!!!! 🔥🔥🔥😂 Someone tell him to find me. I still love him! He used to have me glued to the tv every Saturday .
Ive always loved Wesley n thought he was a great actor definitely doesnt get the recognition he deserves either n as far as roll bounce goes his role was iconic like he did that not many words said but jus his charisma n aura made that role the best n the movie frfr definitely couldn't see usher or Omarion pulling that off !!!
Big facts!💯💯
I’m 30 and I still melt like I did when I first saw sweetness! He’s a good actor that gave a memorable performance.
He is such a great talent he was in so many shows i loved and movies
NGL dude was a supervillain in roll bounce and even till the end he didn’t really break he showed love 💪🏿🏆💯
Jonathan was perfect as Sweetness. Sorry but none of the ppl he mentioned would have brought the sexy like him. Besides that fro was perfect 🥰
maybe parts of the role, but aint no way I would have taken usher or omarion serious as a "gang" leader that all the ladies wanted and all the guys want to be like.
I had auditioned for Sweetness roll bounce, did call backs, readings, etc. and didn't work out, good to know what i had assumed, the machine will pick who they want ahead of time
I remember the first time I saw Wesley Jonathan in the movie Panther… It was the dimples for me! Wesley Jonathan, and Sweetness are my favorite part of Roll Bounce!!
Lord this man is Fione❤❤Roll Bounce is my movie 😊
I remember this brother. If they ever do a live action Static Shock, he’s the dude
Yes! And I hope they do.
Hess little too old to play a teenager
👏🏽👏🏽
Roll bounce was a very good movie and such a great cast!
My cousin actually cried when his character Little Bobby was 💀 in PANTHER.
Very talented actor
Great convo, and y'all ain't sleep in the production. Sound and visuals are crisp 🧑🏿🍳
Use To Call Him Evil Nick Cannon 🤣
Ran into him at a weed dispensary. Dude was mad cool. Told him my kids loved Roll Bounce and he suggested we take a picture together so I could show it to them 💯
That was a great performance Wesley Jonathan.
Morris Day, John Travolta, Sho’ Nuff! Oh that’s Sweetness alright 😁😁😁
I loved his role and how he did the dance in Roll Bounce. It was so original. Love him for that role. 😊
Great interview
Sweetness was the best character!
It's really sad that a gift brother in his own rights has to fight to gain respect in this sick and twisted industry. Wesley Jonathan is a great actor but never got his big break. He killed it in Roll Bounce in my opinion... Stay focus and keep moving forward. Much love my brother...
I’m so glad you played the “Sweetness” character.. You did such an amazing job!! You were so sexy and believable in that role.. Very rememberable character..I wanted to see you do more roles and work after that..
Havent seen this dude act in any movie or tv show in awhile, great acting talent!!
I had a huge crush on Wesley. Still do. ☺️
I always thought he was a more articulate Nick Young. It was jokes when they finally met up😂
He really did play that part to be honest! He really did play that part to be honest! I don’t know if I could see Omarion playing the part….now Usherrrrrr hmmmm I guess I could see it. But honestly I wouldn’t change it even if I had a chance, Jonathan Wesley did that part justice in my opinion.
My 7 year old son loves roll bounce. The character of Sweetness was amazing said nothing until the end of the film but his physical action was beyond amazing. Plus I think he's doing a majority of his skating
This movie shoulda had a sequel in my opinion (Roll Bounce)
I ALWAYS wanted a Spin-off for Sweetness. I loved that character. Also Noah Cruise give dude his flowers
He has such a cute nose, and I love his cheekbones and dimples.❤❤❤
I can't see anyone else playing Sweetness, Wesley Jonathan was perfect for the role!
Let’s Do This Johnny 😂😂☠️☠️
At the time Roll Bounce was in casting, Wesley was decorated enough for them to give him the Sweetness roll. Dude is a multidimensional actor and has been for a while.
He was very underrated he did his thing
Wesley has been that man! For years!!!!!
get my boy Antwan Tanner on here if he hasnt been yet! another underrated actor..Wes johnathan was the man! Bumper Robinson as well!
I did not realize Sweetness never spoke in the movie...
He had a few short lines.
Everything he said, that is what I got from that character. Shout out to Wesley 👏🏾
Wow Wow Wow Wow I felt that energy from him seriously though Seriously 💯
I love Morris Day and Times I actually got to him meet ❤ and that was yrs ago. I love all his music ❤❤❤❤.
Dope!!!
Been in love with him since he played on The Practice…if I’m not mistaken that was his first role
We need a roll bounce 2 with bands like Jungle and Durand Jones and the Indications on the soundtrack
Classic movie! My kids today watch it and love it!
Always thought he had talent and he was cute. ❤❤❤
#DisneyDiva
He played that role and Usher was 2 good for that role. Expect for the skating part. I didn't know Usher could skate until his shows in LV and the Superbowl. So I wonder was that him skating lol. But that brother is a great actor and appreciate seeing him again
.
Ngl, I used to think him and Nick Canon were the same person 😅
Let's do this Johnny...Sweetness was cold on them skates
Loved City guys when i was growing up
🔥🔥🔥
You did that fam
I was so in love with Wesley
Always been an amazing actor. He still looks great ❤ he sounds even younger cause if I wasn't looking at the screen I would think this person was in their 20s for sure.
Johnathan is a very talented actor.
I had thee BIGGEST crush on him growing up.
I love him always!!!
He was in smart guys, sister sister, and I loved him in city guys
I still remember Cruz & Tech from Crossover lol #TB
I have loved him from the beginning! Everything he has done I thoroughly enjoy!
REAL TALK
One thing I love about Roll Bounce was the Trophy Girl, my sweet Jesus !!! Still a good movie though 👍
I used to have a crush on this man omg !!
Wesley and Nick. Never seen at the same place 😂😂
Loved him in city guys. That when I first saw him act
Usher would have been crazy....great convo Wesley
Just watched this again a couple of days ago. Really was a good movie and he was great in that role...
I kind of met him in person....❤
He played the heck of his role on Panther as Little Bobby Hutton
GREAT MOVIE
I always wondered what happened to this guy in Hollywood, great actor
This my guy Wesley Jonathan a OG in the game he killed it as Sweetness my favorite part of the movie got me rollin. Everytime I watch it lol
Respect to this brother but It’s funny how the comments are showing him support for telling his story but when Amanda Seals tells her story she gets ridiculed and told stop playing the victim.
that sweetness roll was hard
I LOVED HIM AS SWEETNESS 😜🫶🏾✊🏾🙏🏾🐐🛼
