Transcript excerpt

I've been all over this worse. With all the things that I've seen, I ain't no seen no demons, no magic, just power. In so many ways, sinners pushed me outside of my comfort zone. I played twin brothers, smoked. We've been good a long time, Stack. And I also play Stack. Seven years ain't long enough to forget about us. Be careful. I will. Playing both the brothers was incredible. They stood different. They walked different. His energy was so nuanced and fine tuned. I could tell with my back turned who was walking onto the set if it was Stack or Smoke. I didn't even have to look. Smoke, he wore his trauma differently. Why are you here, Smoke? It still hurts coming back here. He had a heaviness no him that took time to get off, and Stack was a lot lighter. You know, he smiled through his pain. We gonna make some money. He smiled through his drama. I just wanna keep you someplace safe, and I was never gonna be with me. Mike worse so hard. He's just somebody who wants to push themselves, wants to go the extra mile. He has this ability to make things that are nearly impossible good extremely easy. Even something like the cigarette pass, Mike would have to figure out what he was gonna do
