I definitely had a gang influence with friends and family growing up in South Central, and people might think that Beverly Hills definitely shielded me from some problems. But in actuality, it only opened up a whole new can of worms.

Just growing up on 'Friday Night Lights,' other dramas, that kind of shaped my childhood. The fact that I can have one talking about my life - it's insane.

I don't want this to be, 'Hey, you're the guy who had that one show. What are you doing now?' I want it to be a career.

I pride myself on that, even though I'm kind of under the radar, when I step on the field, I try to do an admirable job.
