00:02 - Average Joe is gonna blow people's minds.
00:11 - A lot of twists and turns, people being tested.
00:14 It's all here in one show.
00:18 - When you get into, I guess, lead role things,
00:21 you learn that nothing else exists.
00:23 Chaos at its finest.
00:25 - I play Leon Montgomery.
00:27 He's going on the same journey the audience is,
00:29 which is sort of blood, guts, and money.
00:31 - It's just a whole lot of murder
00:33 and the bodies drop very early on in the game.
00:36 - A rollercoaster of criminality and family and emotions.
00:41 - I am actually Russian.
00:43 (speaking in foreign language)
00:46 - This is a long loved project that we had at the company.
00:50 The bonds between this man taking care of his family,
00:53 like you've never seen anything like it.
00:55 - The cast, the crew, everyone just came with 100%.
00:59 - I love the cast of Death, so when they went cut,
01:01 we were all very miserable
01:03 'cause everybody was still in character.
01:05 - And then sometimes we would just break it
01:08 and just make each other laugh
01:09 to make ourselves feel comfortable,
01:10 you know what I'm saying?
01:11 - You hear that laugh from Malcolm?
01:13 That's what every day was like
01:15 because sometimes the show gets really heavy
01:17 and there was a lot of levity
01:19 to counterbalance the heaviness.
01:21 - This is my family.
01:23 - It's a show for the family if your family likes cursing.
01:26 - I'm so excited to see Average Joe.
01:29 I feel like they're like our brother shows.
01:31 - Oh my God, it just looks so good.
01:33 I'm just interested to see the story, you know?
01:35 - Oh, I'm excited to see Deon Cole's performance.
01:37 Deon Cole, man, that was...
01:39 (upbeat music)
01:41 - Oh my gosh, I am so excited.
01:51 Some of y'all know this has been
01:52 a very, very, very long journey.
01:54 - We're sharing with you all tonight
01:56 this incredible series, Average Joe.
02:00 That's right.
02:01 (audience cheering)
02:02 That's right, that's right.
02:03 - We want everybody to go tell somebody,
02:05 spread the word, go on your social media.
02:08 Just put the word out, man,
02:10 how your girlfriends, girlfriends, girlfriends
02:13 post about it, your parents and everybody
02:15 'cause it's something in it for everybody, all right?
02:17 So just do us that favor, all right?
02:19 - Yes, yes.
02:20 (audience applauding)
02:21 - Well said, man.
02:22 (upbeat music)
