00:00Jalen, I love your hair.
00:02I love your hair.
00:03We have good hair.
00:05That's so exciting.
00:07What do you use in your hair?
00:09I actually, this is gonna sound so bad, I usually don't use a lot of stuff.
00:13I let things air dry.
00:14I hate you.
00:16Okay, now we're fighting.
00:17Here's the thing, I just found out, and I'm not ashamed to explain this,
00:22but my mom used to shampoo her hair every single day.
00:25I grew up shampooing my hair every single day.
00:27I just realized on the pit, my hair stylist was like,
00:30you need to stop shampooing your hair every single day with your curls.
00:33Also, I didn't have curls for my whole life.
00:35I had straight Justin Bieber bangs.
00:37Went through puberty, hair curled.
00:40I think at one point everybody has to go through their curl awakening.
00:43Yes.
00:43And you've been doing that?
00:44I've been doing that.
00:45It looks amazing.
00:46Thank you so much.
00:46How do you feel today?
00:47I feel great.
00:48It's surreal, very grateful, trying to soak it all in.
00:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:53And being a world-famous actor now, what is your advice to those who are just starting out?
01:02I'd say just kind of each step is a big step.
01:06So sometimes a lot of my friends who are trying to get in, they try to think that,
01:11like, say a guest star isn't anything or a co-star isn't anything.
01:14It's like if everything piles on, everything has a snowball effect, you'll do a job,
01:18you'll meet somebody there, so then you'll be able to get into an audition quicker because
01:21you're the set person.
01:23Everything matters in this industry, who you meet.
01:26Don't try to force anything.
01:27It's all a waiting game.
01:29I mean, Noah Wiley told me, he said that it's just who sticks around longer and who wants it more.
01:33Everybody gets their shot.
01:34So I'd say, yeah, it's patience.
01:36Yeah.
01:36Patience is a virtue, they say.
01:38That's really beautiful.
01:39What's your dream role?
01:41Dream role?
01:42I want to get into Game of Thrones.
01:44I mean, I've been told I kind of look like Kit Harington just a tad.
01:48I can see it.
01:50But can you do the British accent?
01:52I can't, I gotta work on that.
01:53I gotta work on that.
01:54Jalen.
01:54I know, I know, I know.
01:55I mean, like, that's half the job.
01:56When I'm reading Game of Thrones and Narnia and in my head, I read it in a British accent,
01:59so it's up there, but it's not on here.
02:01I mean, I could see you in Narnia, too.
02:03I would love to do Narnia.
02:05Okay, big C.S. Lewis fan.
02:06I love C.S. Lewis.
02:07And listen, if it were me casting, I'd get you right in there.
02:10Let's go.
02:10I mean, look at the hair.
02:11Thank you so much.
02:13Gosh, stop that, Jalen.
02:15Ah, he likes me.
02:17Take care, man.
02:18It's such a pleasure.
02:19Great to meet you.
02:20Bye.
