Today’s podcast guest is the extraordinary Deji LaRay. He is a Actor, Writer, Producer, Showrunner!
So many amazing hats Deji wears and I’m here for it. Deji and I met on the set of BOSCH…way back in season one. We had a very similar story…not knowing what BOSCH was going to turn into — but loved the journey. Deji has since gone on to create his on series…JOHNSON…which he stars in, co-showruns, writes on — all the things and it’s pretty amazing.
This conversation was so transcending on so many levels. Why he wrote his series. Why there’s Power in creating your own material. How he pitched JOHNSON in different spaces and got it in the right hands? Why completion is a BIG word for him…and what he really thinks should be done with your old self tapes…
And the number one thing he thinks your project needs to be if you’re shooting it yourself.
