00:00Michael, his life is epic and to become the King of Pop, it's an amazing journey.
00:10The challenge of taking on someone like Michael Jackson, it sounded fun, but then the more real it got, the more pressure I felt.
00:18Going through this process of who can play Michael, how do you even start with that?
00:23And then of course I meet Jafar Jackson.
00:25I always tell everybody, how we start is how we finish. So let's start with some fire.
00:32Day one, all I could think of was, can Jafar really pull this off?
00:40Man, when the music started and he hit those first few moves, I mean this guy killed it.
00:48I looked at Graham and Graham looked at me, I was like, who is this guy?
00:55I never dreamed to be an actor or even thought of playing him, but I knew it was a calling.
01:03Embodying Michael, I really had to earn the role and prove to the filmmakers that I was capable of becoming Michael.
01:11Essentially it was starting at the roots and finding that authenticity.
01:15He took it to a level that none of us thought he could take it to.
01:20That's part of the magic of Jafar.
01:22He has the desire, like Michael, to be the best.
01:25Cut.
01:28Let's go.
01:29That's it. That's amazing.
01:33I felt that love for Michael every day on set, from the crew and the cast.
01:37Everybody had that love and wanted to put all their heart and soul into it.
01:41I think music can change the world.
01:43With Jafar, you can see how much he cares.
01:45That's what makes him so special.
01:47Whatever that spirit of Michael he's bringing is present.
01:50And everyone on the team can feel it.
01:52None of us would be here today if it wasn't for Jafar.
01:56Thank you.
01:57Thank you.
