RODNEY PERRY in Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family talks Tyler Perry and Roger M. Bobb exclusively with Kingi Knox











Sexy, cool, down to earth, talented, funny...that is RODNEY PERRY. I had a chance to work with Rodney Perry at Speedy's Comedy Corner on Jamie Foxx FOXXHOLE. A friendship grew. I learned from this MAN...he inspired me...and when I am not in a trance from his CHOCOLATE SEXINESS and being MESMERIZED FROM THOSE HAZEL EYES ...I am always in awe how down-to-earth he is and kind to his fans. A lot of the Rodney Perry fans know him from...

1. Bill Bellamy's Who Got Jokes? on TV1

2. Speedy's Comdey Corner of Jamie Foxx FOXXHOLE on Sirius XM

3. MoNique radio show national syndicated

4. Mo'Nique talk show BET

5. Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns on TBS

6. David Arnold's and Rodney Perry's LIGHT SKIN and DARK SKIN dvd and now.....


Tyler Perry's MADEA'S BIG HAPPY FAMILY. On GOOD FRIDAY, fans are kicking off their EASTER WEEKEND with MADEA'S BIG HAPPY FAMILY!!!




Kingi:
You have worked with two talented Academy Award winning actors, which are Jamie Foxx and Mo'Nique. What did you learn from them?

Rodney:

I have had the pleasure of the journey's of both Jamie Foxx and Mo'Nique. I learned from Jamie how to operate INSIDE of the Hollywood machine and from Mo'Nique I've learned how to operate OUTSIDE of the Hollywood machine. They both are always poised and with tremendous talents. Mo'Nique told me to just enjoy it. That's what I am doing now, enjoying the ride.

Kingi:
How was it working with Tyler Perry and Roger M. Bobb on Madea's Big Happy Family?


Rodney:
Roger Bobb actually came to see me at a comedy club in Atlanta then I got the call the following day to come in and read for the role Harold. Tyler Perry is an awesome individual. I have always been a fan of people that work hard and Mr. Perry puts the "W" in work hard. I was most struck by how funny he was. As a comedian, you would like to trust the funny of the person directing you, and Mr. Perry I had complete trust.

Kingi:
I witnessed woman running to you for autographs when we are at Pookey Wigington's Chocolate Sundaes at the Laugh Factory sponsored by Norman Lewis Limousine. What is Rodney Perry's funniest fan experience?

Rodney:
The funniest thing to me is that fans always walk up to me and call me Mo'Nique....What they really want to say is hey you are the guy from the Mo'Nique show but it just ends up "HEY MO'NIQUE". It tickles the mess out of me. I kindly say my name is Rodney Perry. To which they reply..."Yes, Mo'Nique".

Kingi:
Before meeting you, I watched your journey with the ups and downs which lead to your success. Your CHARACTER inspired me. How did you feel when "Who Got Jokes?" hosted by Bill Bellamy and co-hosted by you was cancelled?


Rodney:
I couldn't be mad when "Who Got Jokes?" went away, because I had already begun to work on The Mo'Nique show. I felt bad less for me and more for the comedians that wouldn't have an opportunity because the show was going way. There will be another great show that I am sure maybe I will produce it.

Kingi:
What kind of character do you play in Tyler Perry's latest project Madea's Big Happy Family?

Rodney:
I play Harold and Natalie Desselle Reid (Eve and BAPS) plays my wife Tammy. We are married but we are in the business of being married and not the business of loving each other. Because, we are at odds and it has affected our children. Madea helps us find our way back to love.

Kingi:
Do you have a scene with Madea? If so, how was it?

Rodney:
Yep. You had better buckle your seat belt as an actor when Madea steps on the set.

Kingi:
What advice do you have for people struggling to reach their dreams?

Rodney:
WORK HARD---When everyone else is sleeping you should be working. There is no substitute for Hard Work. I'll see you at the TOP!!! Peace and God Bless!




Cool fans love RODNEY PERRY!!!
