Get it. The Britch Show.

0:01.6

Hey, Usher, what's going on?

0:03.0

You got hating your blood, man.

0:04.7

I'm serious, man.

0:05.9

Don't hate me and love me for being productive, man.

0:08.8

This is what entertainment is. It doesn't just stop on the stage, man, or on television. You got to keep it moving. How y'all doing, man? Good, dude. it just doesn't seem fair to me.

0:16.6

Like that God gave you all of this

0:18.7

and we have...

0:20.2

And I'm tall.

0:21.2

This.

0:24.1

Man, this is good, man. This has actually been, um, it's been a great, it's been a new experience for me, man. I've never, I've never prepared for anything quite like this. You're, you're totally. I mean, we're going to get into talking about Chicago, but I mean, you're fearless. You really, really are. Like, this is a big deal. Like, a lot of people will dabble in a lot of different areas in entertainment. I'm not trying to kiss your ass here or anything. But, I mean, getting up on stage, this is a totally different arena for you, but you seem to, like, just jump right in, no fear at all. Well, I can't say that there's no fear.

0:55.6

I'm just anxious, I'd say, to get started.

Even in doing a video, it doesn't have to be worn away every time.

1:10.0

But you have to find the moment. You have to

1:12.4

1:25.1

all right? I'm a natural, man.

1:28.9

But like when I hear these actors saying you have to assume the role and you have to become the character, it sounds so serious to me. And like, is that something you really have to do? Or can you go in there and turn it on and turn it off? All dependent upon what reason you're doing it for. If it's that serious to you and you take your job that serious, then of course you're going to go the full extent of what it may take in order for you to prepare for a role. Some people are method actors. And what that is is when they go so deep in the character that they don't, they don't step outside of the character. It becomes a part of their personality. It becomes a part of who they are.

2:02.1

Isn't that what Johnny Depp does, like with Pirates of the Caribbean or whatever, and he's still a pirate, even if you're at dinner with him while the movie's shooting, he's still a pirate?
