Exclusively available on BET+, TYLER PERRY’S \u2018BRUH\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0examines the contemporary world of dating, career and friendship through the lens of four African American men with a brother-like bond. John, Tom, Mike and Bill are four college friends now in their thirties. As they navigate life, they are learning to stand on their own two feet, while relying on each other for support. Sometimes the love is tough, and the honesty brutal, but no matter the situation they see each other through with levity and laughter. In a society where companionship between men of color is often misjudged and misrepresented, the show\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>depicts a healthy image of black brotherhood; embracing vulnerability without playing on stereotypical hypermasculinity.<\/p>\n

The cast of\u00a0TYLER PERRY’S \u2018BRUH\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0stars\u00a0Barry Brewer<\/strong>\u00a0as Jonathan “John” Watts,\u00a0Mahdi Cocci<\/strong>\u00a0as Tom Brooks,\u00a0Phillip Mullings Jr<\/strong>\u00a0as Mike Alexander,\u00a0Monti Washington<\/strong>\u00a0as Bill Frazier,\u00a0Chandra Currelley<\/strong>\u00a0as Alice Watts (John’s mother),\u00a0Candice Ren\u00e9e (<\/strong>Insecure & Westworld)\u00a0as Regina, and\u00a0Alyssa Goss<\/strong>\u00a0(The Bobby Brown Story)\u00a0as Pamela.<\/p>\n

TYLER PERRY\u2019S \u2018BRUH\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>is executive produced, written, and directed by Tyler Perry. Michelle Sneed also serves as Executive Producer of the series for Tyler Perry Studios.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blackfilm.com recently spoke with Alyssa Goss and Candice Ren\u00e9e about their leading roles in the show. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

How exciting and meaningful is it to be a part of a Tyler Perry production? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Candice Ren\u00e9e<\/strong>: With the state of our country, it means even more than it did when we actually started filming the show. It feels really great to be on a black show right now because there\u2019s a lot of pivoting that\u2019s going on with networks and show creators and we don\u2019t get to feel any of that right now. It\u2019s an honor to be cast in one of his shows especially because he is very particular about casting. It\u2019s all about his eye and what he\u2019s written and what he sees for the show, so I\u2019m really excited to be a part of it. I think it\u2019s all a part of history at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Alyssa Goss<\/strong>: For me when I found that I was cast for this show I immediately said that it was absolute divine timing. I\u2019m such a believer in God and just walking in there, you see the Dream building, you feel the energy and you get to meet the people that you\u2019re going to be working with for a short amount of time and you become family. It felt like such a removal of fear being in Tyler Perry\u2019s presence, because you aren\u2019t able to say, \u201clet me get another take,\u201d you have to stay focused, stay present and stay in the moment; give the best and most honest performance that you can and the rest just falls into place.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you feel about your roles when you first read them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Candice Ren\u00e9e<\/strong>: Off top, I said to myself– this girl Regina could easily be the revered angry black woman and I didn\u2019t want that to be her title. So I knew I was going to have to do the work with thescript that I was given to make sure that that is not how she came across. She\u2019s super strong, but super real and emotional but could come across angry if I\u2019m not careful. I thought that she was going through a lot in just the first season and I felt like I had to do everything that I could possibly do to make her feel real and not so angry. Because it\u2019s so easy to come across that way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alyssa Goss<\/strong>: For me, we got all the scripts beforehand and so just reading through everything, I could see where the story was going and so I felt like my job was to be as free as possible. It goes back to the elimination of fear– I\u2019m a part of this production and so I needed to give it my all as if it was my last project. So really when I read everything it was more so just taking what I was given and making it my own; fighting for women and trying to back whatever female view that might need to come across.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How developed were your characters prior to you sinking your teeth into them? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Alyssa Goss<\/strong>: For Tyler Perry it\u2019s all about what you\u2019re really saying with your emotions and the energy behind it. I think that this first season was really just a baseline on people\u2019s personalities; but as it keeps going I think that even with him being the creator, he\u2019s kind of seeing who everyone is that\u2019s a part of this. So it will be really cool to see how season two plays out (hopefully we get a season two). I think that he\u2019s been able to see enough of our personalities throughout season one, where they\u2019ll be more meat.<\/p>\n

Candice Ren\u00e9e<\/strong>: I agree. I think it was a baseline. I feel like everything for the most part that we needed was there already and it was up to us to just fill in the blanks, give her the attitude, give her the personality and create the mood between each character. Regina doesn\u2019t really react with every character on a consistent basis but when she does, I\u2019m the one that has to create that relationship and how I am with that character. A lot of it was creating it on the spot and then some of it was just building those relationships during rehearsals or through discussions with each other.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You both play intuitive, secure, self-aware women who aren\u2019t afraid to take a stand but can also be vulnerable<\/strong>. What did your characters mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Candice Ren\u00e9e:<\/strong> I think I learned a little bit from Regina. I\u2019ve never been in her situation before but it did make me think about how Candice would respond to that in real life. And I feel like now I can say what I would do and I feel like that\u2019s the connection with the audience– it puts you in the mindset of this being a real situation, it\u2019s not too far-fetched and it can happen at any time. It definitely made me think, as a human being, of how I would actually treat a situation of this nature and I thought the same thing with watching Alyssa\u2019s character.<\/p>\n

Alyssa Goss:<\/strong> The first thing that comes to my mind is\u2014it\u2019s an honor to embody that character. It\u2019s also the idea of setting your ego aside, which women do all the time. We lead with empathy, in my opinion. So it was really just looking at this character and being empathetic towards her and not judging her.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I respect how Pam \u201chandled\u201d Mike when he reacted to the decision she made. How did you relate to the character?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alyssa Goss:<\/strong> I related to the character because if I\u2019m really invested in someone I don\u2019t really lead with anger too often. In a lot of situations Pam was looking at Mike with frustration. It takes a real strong character to be able to be quiet and I feel like in certain situations where Pam could\u2019ve just gone off the rails, she just walked away.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love how Regina didn\u2019t fall for Bill\u2019s sudden eureka moment and instead she challenged him in a way that allowed her to get what she needed. How did you connect with that character to evoke that level of emotion?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Candice Ren\u00e9e:<\/strong> I think that what Bill was giving me was enough to evoke the emotion. As an actor, I listen a lot because I feel like the majority of my job is to react. And so everything that Bill said and did that I felt was BS, I reacted to it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How was it working with the cast of BRUH?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Candice Ren\u00e9e:<\/strong> Everybody had such fun personalities and they\u2019re all team players. We got really lucky because we all got along really well and had a good time with each other in general, which helped the dynamic. I was probably the only one that wasn\u2019t involved in the auditioning process where everybody got to meet each other, so we got really lucky that everybody meshed well together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alyssa Goss:<\/strong> I love all of them. Barry Brewer is one of the best people you will meet in your life. He is always going to be positive and just have a smile on his face and he stays ready to pray for you. Mahdi Cocci comes from a military background, he\u2019s a great guy and this was an amazing opportunity for him so he took full advantage, in my opinion. Then you have Phillip Mullings Jr., he\u2019s become my best friend, he\u2019s genuinely a great guy, also from a military background. Then you have Monti Washington, we\u2019re both Taurus\u2019, so we locked horns in the best way. And Candice getting this role was so divine and she can\u00a0speak more about that.<\/p>\n

Candice Ren\u00e9e:<\/strong> Again, I was the only one that didn\u2019t go through the entire auditioning process. They thought that they had found a Regina and they didn\u2019t so they kind of went back to the drawing board. I was the last one to get cast out of everyone and so I kind of just got thrown into the loop. We were sent off to Atlanta, those of us that were in L.A., and then my grandmother passed away a day or two before we started filming (while we were in rehearsals). I didn\u2019t say anything to anyone. I just knew that I had to stay focused and didn\u2019t want to bring the energy down. But I was able to get through it. I don\u2019t think I shared with anyone that she\u2019d passed until the day we stopped filming. My grandmother was the one who introduced me to Tyler Perry when I was in college because she used to watch his plays and loved him. But when I booked the show I was able to tell her that I got it. It felt divine and it will always be a super special thing in my career that I\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will we see more of Regina & Pam\u2019s friendship blossom?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alyssa Goss: <\/strong>I think that when the season was written out, my character wasn\u2019t supposed to stay long but they ended up making it more than what was originally intended. So fingers crossed in season two that we see a lot more of Regina and Pam, because we definitely need some back and forth girl talk about these dudes.<\/p>\n

Candice Ren\u00e9e: <\/strong>Pam definitely does stick up for Regina and so at least you get that sense of comradery from them. And I think that, again, next season you\u2019ll see more of that because I feel like the characters need each other in what\u2019s going on; women generally lean on one other and so you do want to see what they\u2019re giving to each other in these hard times dealing with these men.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the midseason finale (episode 112 \u2018Dogs in the Snow\u2019) premiering on Thursday July 9th<\/sup>, how would you sum up the show in its entirety?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Candice Ren\u00e9e:<\/strong> I think it\u2019s a really raw, honest, masculine show, which I love because you don\u2019t see that often. I can\u2019t really name another show where you see black men giving more than just comedy; black men giving honest emotion. It\u2019s always this thing where black men don\u2019t talk about relationships with their women and what\u2019s going or aren\u2019t being honest to each other about these women. And that\u2019s the thing about Mike (Philip Mullings Jr.\u2019s character) that I\u2019m starting to like about him\u2014I can see the struggle within him to let go of some stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alyssa Goss: <\/strong>I agree with Candice. But just to sum it up– you haven\u2019t seen anything yet. I wish all 24 episodes were out right now so we could get straight to it. I definitely think episodes 1 through 12 are giving you sincerity. I feel like nothing about this show is disingenuous and I think it\u2019s great to see a group of black men together that have a relationship that\u2019s gone on for years that doesn\u2019t in any way seem oppressive. It shows a more positive side of black men.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
