[@christieo2463]

Christopher B. Duncan is the definition of a chameleon actor. He is the definition of “UNFORGOTTEN”

[@JayzoTheNextKobeBryant]

I Definitely Agree

[@AfroPick82]

From Original Gangsta to Jamie Foxx show

[@jamessmith6162]

Absolutely, but a true talent and Gem nonetheless.

[@KingstonTV334]

If it wasn't for KZbin and channels like this we would never get to see the brilliance behind some of these characters we grew up on.

[@chocol8me]

"My dear dad." "My dear mom." I Love It! ❤❤❤

[@mrdanielleebrown]

Christopher B. Duncan was very patient with the interviewer because Duncan did an excellent job at laying out how the Spiral role helped diversify perception within characterization. You don't have to ask questions that were naturally answered just because it's written down on the agenda. You're interviewing a skilled actor. You have to role play and improvise interviewer.

[@BGHmariam]

God, the interviewer is such a pain 😩

[@carebear67street3]

He is wise & grounded!!! His parents did a wonderful job raising him… He hurts for the connection with both his parents, but I believe he will make it! I know, I’m in his shoes, momma gone and dad is still walking the earth, but his mind is going in different directions! 😢 It’s not easy, but you have to keep going… smiling & crying along the way 💪🏽🙏🏽🥲

[@ericakilbournebroodie]

Omg! I wanna hug this man! Geez! I am so sorry to hear about his parents and God Blessed him with some awesome parents❤

[@bmuhamad]

Mr. Duncan's voice & demeanor speaks for itself. Serious, intellectual, and to the point.

[@gracie5169]

So blessed to have your parents growing up to guide & nurture you in life. Stay encouraged!

[@Faithfamilyandfunreviews]

Thought-provoking conversation. Nothing but respect and honor for this gentleman.

[@SeeSetJaeMiirTv]

Why we don’t see him in nothing else really it’s simple he didn’t wanna sell his soul or ass or any humiliation ritual !!!!good on him 💯I hope him & his family is blessed 🙏🏽

[@ComaLies225]

Yea I don’t blame him. Hollyweird tends to have a ritual of debasing their actors, they do it to everyone but especially when it comes to people of color. Weird meetups with execs in hotels just to be considered in movies or shows, wearing dresses or kissing people of the same gender (nothing wrong with that, but not something that should be forced on everyone.) The industry is just too shady

[@blackwhite2361]

Ass? How does homosexuality come in the equation? I don't think anybody who has sex with same sex in Hollywood isn't themselves Gay already. No heterosexual man will get but fcuked just to get ahead in hollywood

[@williamdrayton7352]

Who sold they ass and soul to be successful

[@byronrush9802]

​@@williamdrayton7352Mr Fox allegedly, Duncan has been successful for years from voice acting to guest appearances He's been one of the main characters on multiple shows after the Jamie Foxx show he's been working this entire time, He guest starred on almost every CSI and NCIS

[@ashlidanielle]

I've seen him on Black Lightning, First Family (it was a show about the Obama's when Barack became president and he played Obama and Yara Shahidi and her brother played his "kids"), iCarly, Johnson's Family Vacation, CSI, etc. trust me he's getting his bread still

[@blackwhite2361]

I can relate a bit. Staying at one place makes you create stronger bonds with friends... When you move around a lot your friendships don't last. Each time you have to kinda start all over

[@ExaltedNthaizm]

This nicca is good at telling stories omm 😂

[@chocol8me]

Best comment 💯

[@SeeSetJaeMiirTv]

He was funny as stan in Johnson family vacation 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JayzoTheNextKobeBryant]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@FrostyBee6969]

We love u Bro...u definitely the man

[@dacallah1]

I understand his background, I came up the same way. My father was in the army,

[@AllPureSkill]

He a real actor and you can tell. Kinda like the British

[@rhondawoodhouse5508]

Christopher B. Duncan is the epitome of YOU LEARN OR YOU WIN principles! Heartfelt Thank you for a very transparent interview that I did not look for but took the time to sip my herbal elixir with quite an enjoyable quality. He thoroughly and authentically exudes exceptional depth to manage life in and out of the acting arena as a wonderful human being! Speaking from a parent perspective, I am very proud of you too! Blessings continue to be upon Christopher Duncan and your Beloved FamilyL!

hello , christopher b. duncan , seems to be such a genuinely good guy . what a talented actor , who's so believable , in any role he's in . long may he run great share , thank you for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.......................

[@Rose-pe4bz]

Great interview. Much respect. You should give people the opportunity to finish their sentence before asking another question. It comes off like you’re just anticipating the end of an answer just to ask the next question.

[@itonyaflanders3777]

I don't like the interviewer..he's slick with his statements saying petty shit then saying i mean behind it also not being really interested in what he saying because he's not answering in such a way he thought he thought he'd tell it all and be defaining fellow actors and he did NOT and I truly appreciated it but in my opinion the interviewer did not smh. I did truly enjoy this dialog he was pleasant to listen to with all the good memories he had, him never forgetting his up bringing and his consistency at the same time his calming tone of voice was everything!!!.. They need to retrain this interviewer though in my opinion!!!

[@byronrush9802]

Agreed he's always looking for the petty shit Christopher wasn't going for it, He's a successful actor he may not be one of the big names but he's had consistent work for 20 years

[@user-zh7yc9cz2b]

When you trying to get a moment and the interviewee not having it😂😂😂

[@COMECORRECT1981]

I was hired to play Dennis Rodman in a movie. Interviewer: Oh, the Micheal Jordan movie??? Bruh...

[@darrylbrumfield7659]

Dude is horrible

[@byronrush9802]

Does the interviewer not know who Dennis rodman is there were more players on the championship bulls team besides Jordan, it sucks he couldn't do it because he was doing the Jamie Foxx show at the time

[@comedianzeemoten]

I still watch the Jamie foxx show

[@supernowproductions5461]

He has excellent talking skills!!

[@shawnjonez586]

He Did Great On The Jamie Fox Show, That Whole Cast Was Awesome

[@godivabaker6622]

He is a class act. I respect him for having dignity and standing on his principles. You can tell he has theater’s background with his perfect diction. I wasn’t really here for some of John’s questioning 🤨. I felt some questions were disrespectful and somewhat messy and I also felt like he cut him off with irrelevant line of questions that was going into a different direction than what he was speaking on.

[@juanhernandez5009]

I always wondered what ethnicity he is but damn he went around the question.

[@SlabHunterTV]

I think he didn't want to get in-depth with it. I am sure one of his parents was of mixed race. I am of mixed race from my father, but I tell people I am 100% black.

[@juanhernandez5009]

@@SlabHunterTV and that's coo but I always say be proud of your race or where your family comes from . I would not say I'm brown I am Mexican born American

[@Florida561]

He’s probably just black I have cousins who are really light skin with dark skin parents it happens

[@juanhernandez5009]

@@Florida561 usually that complication youre mixed something. As you know the white Europeans were sleeping with all slaves back in the day

[@longbeachmaumba7059]

He's just a light skinned black man. It's not even that deep.

[@goodfellabeats]

You guys posted a video from this interview like a year ago when he talked about how it hurt him that some people can't get past him being Braxton. And you guys are just uploading the whole interview today??

[@byronrush9802]

They posted bits and pieces of the interview they're just now posting the full interview

[@MrTiffy821]

I love this interview he's transparent poised real authentic and calm he speaks so eloquent and elegantly, I love that he can play a gangsta and a smooth guy blessings abundantly on all the your upcoming and future endeavors.

[@sp4rkl3ninj4taylor6]

He aged pretty well😊

[@KingofMemphis]

Wow man salute to CBD, there were some extremely ignorant questions and comments particularly the one at 1:07:22 I would have checked him on that one

Completely agree

Why does Duncan sound EXACTLY like Captain Benjamin Sisko ?!!!!

It would be so good see Jamie and Chris star in roles together as friends in any movie! I know it's a lot of people would agree. I'm going to go share this on Jaime Instagram in hopes he will see this.

[@antp1900]

This guy is brilliant

[@crunky3191]

This interview was salvaged solely by Chris Duncan’s wisdom and insight. While I think everyone should be given room to improve; the lack of research, missing cues and pointed direction by this interviewer were not graceful, and ultimately weakened the potential of the conversation that could’ve been had with Chris. Thankfully, Chris navigated this expertly.However, he also deserved a better conversation with someone who was more familiar with his entire work history, and pushed fewer of the gossip-related angles. (Learn and grow- constructive criticism)

[@loso31584]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@BlackJack-xz1sy]

He was right I had to do a double take between Spiral and Braxton. I was like these can’t be the same people but it was. He did a great job with both.

Everything is a Shakespeare monologue with this dude. Sheesh

[@markmcfarland2579]

What ethnicity are your parents? Poor question bro.. do better

[@jeromejenkins151]

It's only a poor question to someone who seeks to hide their origins or is ashamed of them. I think what ethnicity your parents are especially in America has a huge impact on making a person who they are and is a very valid question when the idea of the discussion is to get to know the other person better.

[@40slim]

Christ. We need more sitcoms. Like. Jamie and Martin. Christ why. Want you. Direct sitcoms yourself. We. Need. More. Good. Humor. And plenty of laughter

[@jeromejenkins151]

Everything he said about his parents and their relationship with him is exactly the reason Hollywood rejected him....the irony.

[@dakarasbishop81]
