Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down

Podcast. My thanks as always for clicking and listening along.

Very excited to bring you my conversation today

with not only one of the best actors in Hollywood,

but the best guys in Hollywood.

He is Don Cheetle. I will not begin to attempt to list all of the films and TV shows on his resume because it's exhausting and I know I'll leave out your favorite one there are just too many

suffice it to say he's been nominated for an Academy Award for Hotel Rwanda

he has won Golden Globes he has won a Tony Award he has won two Grammys even. The man is unbelievable.

You'll hear us in this conversation talk about the year 2004, which I think is a good

snapshot of his range, which was Oceans 12, the second Oceans movie, Hotel Rwanda, the movie

that earned him that Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, and Crash, which he starred in and also produced and won. and I think I'd say Oceans 11 was 2004 was actually Oceans 12 just for the record

But I think you'll enjoy getting to know him if you don't know his story and his background where he comes from I mean you can throw in boogie Knights. I think its big breakthrough we talk about is Devil in

a Blue Dress where he started with Denzel Washington. He's just an amazing actor who can do everything.

And his latest is a new series streaming on peacock called

Fight Night the million dollar heist he'll explain it to you based on true events

which makes it so cool a Mohammed Ali fight in Atlanta in 1970.

There's a big after party for all these big celebrities that were in town and every gangster

from every town, every big city in the country, gathered here and there is an armed

robbery of these people.

It's incredible.

It was a subject of a popular podcast and now this new series that he starts in with an amazing cast.

So I will step aside and let you enjoy a conversation with Don Cheetle right now on the Sunday
