Don Cheadle Talks Kendrick, Miles Davis, Marvel, And Boogie Nights

On this episode of People’s Party, Talib Kweli and Jasmin Leigh sit down with legendary actor, director, producer, writer, and Avenger Don Cheadle. The conversation covers a wide swath of his career — as the trio discusses the backstories of what led Cheadle to take the iconic roles he became known for over the years. “Colors,” “Boogie Nights,” “Devil In A Blue Dress,” “Iron Man,” “Out Of Sight,” and “Hotel Rwanda” all come up in this wide-ranging discussion.
Cheadle also speaks on his contact with Kendrick Lamar, asking him to star in his self-produced and directed biopic ‘Miles Ahead’, and we get to hear about some of the hilarious reactions he received from Brits about the Cockney accent he used while playing Basher in the Ocean’s movies.
