[@jiana2.032]

I applaud him for curvin questions about his charges and consequences.

[@helgapataki4156]

I really like him. He's so humble, free, happy, & talented.

[@deb8911]

This guy has quickly become one of my favorite actors. Much love and prosperity to this young black king.

[@deb8911]

Jenna Smith yes ma’am. We all have our days/moments 😂🤣

[@centerstageentertainment6792]

yeah i agree

[@TrillJJayTrilly]

I agree I think he is a big inspiration to me as a Filmmaker trying to get into acting some more as well

[@yvonnemariane2265]

Pfft Turn to the Real King and learn to LOVE.

[@MikeG-js1jt]

You, we, ALL need to stop differentiating, instead, consider saying.... "young king" or "great actor" instead of young black actor or great black actor, this type of thinking and speaking tends to perpetuate a sort of racism.... I certainly dont hear or see anyone referring to any white actor or artist as a great white this or excellent white that...

[@shaunaodiea6184]

I love that Jason took his friend's advise to go to the audition that day...God will meet you where you believe! Keep shining!!!

[@acquadi2077]

Shauna Odiea is that a saying, “God will meet you where you believe.”

[@thedaydaygioshow5914]

He is a perfect example of it never being to late to chase your dreams

[@Getitgirl816]

This dude has a huge acting range; Mudbound, Straight Outta Compton and Detroit. What a talent!

[@alexismartin4907]

damn she cant give credit to where its do?

[@DMBazile]

He was great in Detroit! That’s all I’ve seen him in besides SOC

[@JWill951]

I forgot he was in Detroit. That was a good movie too

[@Godzilladad]

Domonique Bazile check him out on his tv show

[@gjackson9590]

king kong as well

[@NOVMBER]

I did hear before that Jason was really in the street and was a real dude. Not that being in the street is something to brag about but it's great to see him change his life like that and not glorify it in any way shape of form.

[@NOVMBER]

I think your simple, negative, hate-fuelled mind is missing the point of my post. I'm bringing it up because despite being in the streets and everything it entails, he still made a success out of his life through something positive and chose not to glorify it. It's the contrast I'm referring to but you clearly missed the concept. A little over your head I guess.

[@thataurus2492]

Primo H did u read the comment?

[@lurethaharden5264]

If only we could get more of our brothers and youth to see things from this perspective. We'll be doing a lot better as a people

[@BatDad-qu4fo]

Exactly. I really like that he made something of himself and doesn't glamorize that life at all. Definitely need more young folks to go that route instead of looking for street cred on social media.

[@arancienne]

He's been there so he knows theres nothing about that life to glorify

[@GapToothQueen]

He was my favorite character in “Straight Outta Compton”. Haven’t seen his other movies, but his acting was great in that. It wasn’t corny or cheesy. I think he did Eazy-E justice.

[@ms.ajones7168]

He's also good in The Chi! It's something about him!🖤

[@richierich8905]

He was also was in Kong with Samuel Jackson and the dude who played Dre. In Straight Outta Compton.

[@GapToothQueen]

I’m gonna have to watch those movies 👌🏾👌🏾

[@takishapaulino8155]

SlowClass Kai c

[@terro33]

he was good in Kong Skull Island

[@barberdav]

HIS PERFORMANCE IN 'MUDBOUND' WAS AMAZING

[@demetriushorne2536]

Very dope movie bro

[@Koekje_Kijkt]

I respect the fact that he didn't go into his probation. Keep moving forward, that is the past. Nothing but respect.

[@ladieesc0]

RIGHT! Charlamagne was doing the most. He won't even share his wife's name but he wants people to go into how many grams they were caught with. He irks me sometimes man...

[@Koekje_Kijkt]

Ama To be fair, that's his job. He is supposed to ask the nitty gritty. A lot of young guys would start to brag but this young man is mature enough to know how to respectfully "curve" the question. So I don't blame Charlemagne for asking.. I get what you're saying tho!

[@Iwas_MsBly]

And now we wish they did after this scandal!

[@saleemahshakir7874]

Jason is showing a real range on the CHI. I feel like I know him the acting is so on point., so real. Congratulations and much success! He is a star.

[@LivKAPhree]

Jason’s story gives me hope, I can relate also I’m 25 and still trying to figure things out 😩, but what an Incredible authentic actor he is! ! So special, and yet so charming!😍😌🙌🏿

[@ilgmjs_]

Olivia Kae same

[@LivKAPhree]

But on another note why is there so much Eczema lotion???🤔😭

[@capoislamort100]

Olivia Kae what are you trying to figure out??

[@LivKAPhree]

capoislamort100 I’m an aspiring singer/actress I’m a single mom, I take care of my whole intermediate family with one job that barely pays, still trying to find my way to getting started in the industry, I’ve given up plenty of times , felt like a failure, was very unsure of myself and my craft, but this interview kind of manifested something differently inside of me that’s never happened before .

[@capoislamort100]

Olivia Kae wow, Thanks for sharing this Queen...just remember, you alone have the power to figure out what's best for you. Don't hope, just "believe", and you will make it! Peace & love

[@cheyennekali]

I love interviews like this, no drama, controversy, scandal or anything like that. Real, genuine, chill people. I love Jason, he’s such an amazing actor 🙌🏾

[@pinkyandthebrain99]

Cheyenne Kali Those are always the best.

[@cheyennekali]

xinkspillx absolutely!

[@CandieP]

Cheyenne Kali I agree. I missed the days when ppl with pure talent got a large platform to speak on. When you interviewing reality show stars, THOTs and professional side chicks it takes away from the platform.

[@cheyennekali]

Candie P Yes, exactly! It’s getting so old.

[@noiretalk]

This interview was long over due glad ya got him on the show finally!!!!!!!

[@pinkyandthebrain99]

Noire Talk agreed!!

Truth

[@actionscott8033]

Factssssss

[@poeticjustice8420]

This guy gone be a big name in this game from this era of New black actors and actress. Just watch 20 years later and we gone be talking about him

[@viclor2876]

he's from new Orleans

[@MRGUSTAVOCHICKENFRING]

Career over now, hope he saved

[@DonnieDaytime]

Not no more

His Tyrese impression though 😂😂

[@schondra1993]

GREAT interview!! Im really feeling him as a person. He's very down to earth and real. And his acting is spectacular! I wish him much success.

[@kiaraortiz4303]

Who's watching after finding out he's not returning to The Chi?

[@travisharris5337]

Smh😔

[@stephdrake2521]

You need to listen to both sides. I like him too but there must have been overwhelming evidence against him. I don’t like it either but I wished things were better. If it is true, guys need to stop harassing women for sex. Men will hit on anyone and anything. Enough is enough. Leave women alone until ..... just talk to them and stop trying to score. That’s if he did this / I hope he didn’t but I know men....... they can be dogs.

[@rainbowknightpepper8149]

Kiara Ortiz lol

[@kiaraortiz4303]

@@stephdrake2521 Oh, girl, I know. For them to pull him off both projects means that the evidence is overwhelming. It really sucks because he is a great actor and had the potential to really grow. If its true, which I think it is, he really screwed it up.

[@rodinmotion4331]

@@kiaraortiz4303 well he hasn't been convicted of anything but the court of public opinion has convicted him already. So I will hold my opinion until a later date.

[@CandieP]

JASON and Lakeith Stansfield aka Logan from get out are a force to be reckoned with. Great up and coming black actors. 🙌🏾

Natalie Mendenhall His acting was great, but I’m good on those slave-esque narrations made by white liberals to gain empathy for us black folks. Nah.

[@candesok7926]

I love his character on the Chi. It will be interesting to see how they write him out or to bring in another actor to play Branden.

[@ExistNNature]

He got a second chance at life and made the best out of it.... I love him in Straight Out of Compton, The Chi is really good too.

I love Jason Mitchell. I was never into NWA but when I saw this movie Straight Out Of Compton, I became obsessed with NWA, LA, Cali and EVERYTHING with Jason Mitchell. The CHI on Showtime is the best show too.

[@missmanu3954]

What a fine human being

The Chi is a great show so far the first 2 episodes been amazing...and great interview Breakfast Club I love Jason’s energy 🤗

[@Dommy521]

nah it's corny and predictable

[@ObeyAmmalol]

Dommy521 it just started you don’t know where it’s gonna go from here ... I think it was well done (acting and cinematography) even if it is a lil predictable I’m still gonna watch

Its crazy soons after he said he was from new orleans almost immediately I can hear his accent

[@MarkO-bq4wi]

Great interview. I didn’t even recognize the name, accidentally clicked on it, and I’m very glad I did. For people who can’t tell this guy is a real dude and has a great spirit. I can see him being an impactful person on and off the screen. Much respect to him cuz I’ve known many people come up like him in the streets and he is one of the lucky few to actually just make a change and he should be looked at as a role model. You can just see the humbleness and gratitude and honesty in him. Just amazing to see.

When I first saw him in _Skraight Outta Compton,_ I knew he had some range on him. You can look in his eyes and see that. Now, when he started coughin' in the movie, I said *uh oh...* And then when he fell back and landed in the hospital, I definitely started cryin'. I want more from you, Jason. As you know, I will be watching...
