The man was born in ๐๐๐๐. A whole generation that didnโt make excusesโthey made moves.
Just listening to him, itโs clear his inner monologue is something like:

Sunny (race-hustling as always):
"I am just so honored to meet you all. I will be honest, Iโm just looking at Lando Calrissian in my mind and Lady Sings the Blues and Mahogany and Just Right. So you did start, as what we said, in the industry at a time when few ๐ฉ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ were on TV and in moviesโ"
Billy:

Sunny (clearly flustered):
โYesโฆ well, a ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ค ๐ฆ๐๐ง.โ
Billy:
โ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง-๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ง๐๐. A brown-skinned man.โ
Sunny (still trying):
โYes, brown-skinned manโฆ and early on, you struggled to find work. Being offered either stereotypical roles or nothing at all. Did you ever think about quitting? And if you didnโt, what kept you going?โ
Billy:
โYou know, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ and do what you have to do. And ๐ฆ๐น๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต things to not always go your way.โ
