But I knew an actor of his caliber would bring about the qualities of the character and make the audience realize it’s not the size of the dog but the size of the fight in the dog. When Cole came up the dynamic changed because he’s a tall man, a bigger man than me. Interestingly enough, for that role originally we were seeking a guy like Joseph Gordon Levitt, that kind of person, a frail, fragile guy to have the dynamic of a hit man taking this lost soul as his boss. So when his name came up for this part there was no hesitation for me. When I ran into him a couple of times I mentioned those sentiments to him and he just laughed. I even mentioned to Singleton, who’s a good friend of mine for obvious reasons (‘Boys N The Hood’), that Cole was a real talent that should be watched.
I thought his performance in that role was so focused. I was blown away by his performance in John Singleton’s ‘Higher Learning.’ I thought his role was by far the most compelling in the piece.

He also finds good in this man he runs across at a bar and decides to do something that he perceives as good for him. This particular story was really intriguing to me because the guy could be perceived as extreme evil, kills people indiscriminately, assassinates them, targets them, yet here’s a guy who’s accepted that as his mindset. (laughs) It’s been like going back to film school, and I’ve been doing a lot of writing and editing and whatnot. My motto’s been, as a film actor you only get to practice when you’re paid.
