It\u2019s not glamourous as  everybody is quiet and ready to things accomplished. While it\u2019s great to talk to  the actors as they come back for this fifth installment of the franchise, we  also have to be patient and watch them film take after take in a warehouse. On  this particular day, we watched one scene be shot over five times, but it\u2019s a  good feeling to see the actors work hard to make sure the scene is right.<\/p>\n<p>In one of the few scenes that will hopefully make the film, a bulk of the  cast (<strong>Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Chris \u201cLudacris\u201d  Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, and Sung Kang<\/strong>) are together going over a plan  that will make them prevail in whatever heist setup they have going.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Ludacris-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-4312\" title=\"Ludacris 2\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 226 300'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Ludacris-2-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During several breaks, some of the cast member would ride around the set with  scooters that were given to them by Vin Diesel, who also serves as a producer on  the film. One by one, the unit publicist would come over with an actor that  could share some information on the film and their role in the film.<\/p>\n<p>Opening on April 22, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead a reunion of returning  all-stars from every chapter of the explosive franchise built on speed in \u2018Fast  Five.\u2019 In this installment, former cop Brian O\u2019Conner (Paul Walker) partners  with ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) on the opposite side of the law, with  <strong>Dwayne Johnson<\/strong> joining the cast as the cop that chasing  them.<\/p>\n<p>Having appeared in the second film, &#8216;2 Fast 2 Furious,&#8217; which was directed by  John Singleton, Ludacris returns to reprise his role as Tej Parker, an ex-street  racer, a race host and a friend of Brian&#8217;s. He arranges high stakes street  racing events in which Brian often races and wins.<\/p>\n<p>In speaking with Blackfilm.com, Ludacris talks about his role and coming  back to the franchise that started his acting career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does it feel to come back to  the story and continue this series of events people have been following all  these years?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris: <\/strong>It&#8217;s great. It is a  franchise and to see all the cast members come together from each installment,  it&#8217;s like an all-star cast. It&#8217;s going to be good, really good.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fast-Five-162.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-medium wp-image-4313\" title=\"Fast Five 16\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 200'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fast-Five-162-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s going to be different  with your character this time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris:<\/strong> In \u20182 Fast 2 Furious,\u2019  my character was all about the money, but this time you&#8217;ll notice I have some  more special things going on. I can&#8217;t give the details, but I have some other  special skills added on to me just being a natural hustler. In \u20182 Fast,\u2019 that&#8217;s  pretty much all I cared about, was betting on races, hustling and flipping  money. It was all about the cash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you doing any action shots in  this one?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris: <\/strong>Nope. Basically I&#8217;m  just the hustler. The action stuff is to come in another movie soon. I&#8217;m going  to get it all in to make up for all the action I missed in other movies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will you be on the  soundtrack?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris: <\/strong>I&#8217;m trying to work that  out now but nothing is confirmed so I don&#8217;t want to give you any false  information. That&#8217;s something that&#8217;s in the works, that&#8217;s not a yes or no. We  shall see.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell us why you left  Miami in the movie?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris:<\/strong> I don&#8217;t know how much  we can tell about this, but everyone is meeting up from a different location  than where we originally were for a big heist.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fast-Five-22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-4314\" title=\"Fast Five 22\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 199'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fast-Five-22-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How much of your personality do  you bring to your character?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris:<\/strong> When I did \u20182 Fast,\u2019  that character was not a stretch. It was a great first role for me because there  were parts of my personality in the character, some not. Bringing that character  into \u2018Fast Five\u2019 is a mixture of who I am and me just trying to get a little  something new.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did doing this mean to your  career when you first did this, and what does it mean now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris:<\/strong> That&#8217;s a good question.  When I did it at that point it was totally new to me. I knew that I was excited  about it, didn&#8217;t know how well I would do. I was really focused, but seeing the  outcome I was really happy and interested in continuing after \u20182 Fast\u2019 because I  loved the whole process of acting, started getting the buzz. In retrospect I&#8217;m  just glad I did that, and continuing to take the craft seriously. I&#8217;m just glad  to be back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From \u20182 Fast\u2019 to now do you feel  like you&#8217;ve stepped it up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris: <\/strong>I definitely feel like  I stepped it up, humbly speaking. A lot of it has to do with experience and just  learning and doing it over and over again, learning all aspects around you,  owning and perfecting the craft. I feel like there&#8217;s always room for  improvement. I will never feel like I&#8217;m where I want to be, so I continue to  strive for perfection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Ludacris-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-medium wp-image-4315\" title=\"Ludacris 3\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 214 300'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Ludacris-3-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you talk about some of your  upcoming projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris: <\/strong>Same thing with the  question about the music, that&#8217;s something I can&#8217;t really talk about right now.  If it was said and done I would, but there&#8217;s nothing I can really talk  about.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a particular type of  role you&#8217;re interested in?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris: <\/strong>When it comes to stuff  like that it&#8217;s almost like coming to the mall, I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m looking for  until I see it. I couldn&#8217;t sit here and tell you exactly what I want to do, but  I just think there are some great things coming in the future. I&#8217;m still  juggling a lot of things right now, so just imagine the day when I shift 100%  focused towards acting. Everything I&#8217;ve done over the past 7-years has been  juggling a million things at one time. Don&#8217;t quote me on that, because a lot of  people like to say &#8220;he&#8217;s retiring from music,&#8221; just don&#8217;t put that on. One day  there&#8217;ll come a time, but not any time soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Has singing helped your acting,  or has acting helped your singing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris:<\/strong> Yeah. When we shoot  videos it&#8217;s almost a form of acting. We&#8217;re acting out our own emotions, our own  words. I would say both of them have helped each other out. Even when I did the  album &#8220;Theater of the Mind&#8221; that was after I had done two or three movies and in  both aspects it&#8217;s helped me out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any thoughts of stepping behind  the camera for producing or directing someday?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris:<\/strong> Absolutely, that goes  with all the other questions that I can&#8217;t confirm, but yeah, in the process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fast-Five-171.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-4316\" title=\"Fast Five 17\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 184'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fast-Five-171-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Any interesting stories from the  set so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris: <\/strong>I really just started  shooting my scenes, so nothing I can talk about yet. This is my third scene, so  far it&#8217;s been pretty sick. We are having a hell of a lot of fun. Crackin&#8217; jokes,  going into each other&#8217;s trailers, listening music with each other. Going to  Straights, my restaurant, eating food. We&#8217;re all supportive of one-another,  personally and professionally. Everybody&#8217;s leaving their egos at the door. Vin  Diesel just bought us one of those electric scooters as a gesture to say he  loved the cast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is street racing something you&#8217;ve  always been into?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris: <\/strong>Yeah, it&#8217;s definitely  something I&#8217;ve been into, like going to Daytona and the  Indianapolis 500. Just racing,  period, either just me on some street stuff or just as a sport I&#8217;ve always loved  racing. I understand why this culture is so big, and I&#8217;m glad to be a part of  it. My favorite car\u2026 I&#8217;ve tested a bunch of different cars, but the fastest is  definitely the Bugatti. That&#8217;s the fastest thing on the streets right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you talk a little bit about  your time management. You&#8217;re doing concerts, you&#8217;re doing movies. How do you  prioritize you&#8217;re career?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris: <\/strong>That&#8217;s a good question.  I ask myself that every day. Man, the Lord allows me to space everything out. If  I&#8217;m on a movie set then I&#8217;m pretty much focused on what I&#8217;m doing at the time.  Maybe at lunch time I&#8217;ll get on the phone and make calls and do other business,  but as soon as we&#8217;re back on set\u2026 it&#8217;s not about mixing everything, it&#8217;s about  making sure you give enough time to each thing, what&#8217;s needed. It&#8217;s good to be  juggling a lot, but things have got to be done.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ludacris.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-full wp-image-4317\" title=\"ludacris\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 200 250'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ludacris.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there going to be a musical  collaboration between you and Tyrese after this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ludacris: <\/strong>That is also something  that is being discussed.
