Bill Duke an American superstar with a ridiculous amount of common sense and wisdom.
Well played sir.

[TC-cvdg]

In an age where everyone has a public voice...Bill Duke is one of the few that has a massage worth listening to.

Thank you to the Film Courage team and Mr. Duke.

I can't stop picturing him running through the jungle with a machine gun yelling "Ima have me some fun....ima have me some fun..."

[shihanUKS]

He has a lot of energy in these interviews. He is mostly quiet on the set as director, Almost monastic. He directed Deep Cover...excellent film. He did Hoodlum. Lawrence Fishburne produced. I learned a lot working around him and his crew.

[davidpierce]

He has made a very positive impression on me. what a tremendous person.

The comment about what schools teach being obsolete as it's taught rings true with me...I graduated from a fairly nice cooking school 20 or years ago. Even as I was doing co-op during my studies, the Chef I worked with was telling me that 99% of what I learned at school was out-dated, in terms of the market and that I would learn far more about actually being a working Chef by simply joining a kitchen brigade as a commis and working  my 8- 14 hours every every day for a year or so. And it was true; the mechanics of actually DOING the job for 6 months after graduation taught me more practical skills than my 18 months at this school

BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW...CONQUER THE GOLIATH IN YOUR LIFE....NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES...

[axdesho]

This man is great. He is smart, honest, a good actor, well-spoken, and kind. I wish I knew him in person. Bill, I love your movies!

[pfrstreetgang]

Bill Duke has a wonderful sense of being honest - with yourself.

[markshostrom]

No truer words have ever been spoken about the film industry than what Bill says here. I've been in film 44 years (and by coincidence met with Bill about doing his AFI film The Hero in 1980). Every insight he makes is spot on, exactly how it is.

[entaprizeinc]

this guy has a wealth of knowledge and experience. very good interview that's very informative

[Cujo_Ate_My_Credit_Card]

80's action wouldn't been the same without Bill Duke. Awesome guy!

[theoak]

I stumbled upon Bill Duke in my youth watching Car Wash and his character had depth and meaning. I have been a fan ever since.

I read an interview with British ex-lawyer who gave it up and became an actor who was unemployed a lot. He said his worst day as an actor was better than his best day as a lawyer.

[plutoplatters]

problem is Hollywood uses 8 different actors to do every movie. favoritism is rampant. the end.

[babayaga]

for those not in the know, a nagra is a tape recording device used to record audio on set during takes. most of the sound is replaced i post production later but the nagra gives a reference

[mr.classic]

"Ok Goliath, my stone is not that big but I see your damn eye." That is DEEP!!!

[tombslasher]

I can not stop watching his stuff. Amazes me from his words what he says for motivation.

As a former editor in the entertainment industry I can tell you this: If you don't have the connections, if you're not willing to be humilliated, abused, and in some cases provide sexual favors, you're not going to be anybody important in Hollywood.
