Morris Chestnut Shares Nostalgic Cast Memories from ‘Boyz n the Hood’, ‘The Best Man’ & ‘Like Mike’

Morris Chestnut looks back on his iconic roles and the castmates who shaped his journey — from ‘Boyz n the Hood’ and ‘The Best Man’ to ‘Like Mike’ and ‘Watson.’ He recalls being like “a kid in a candy store” on his first film set, peppering Cuba Gooding Jr. with acting questions. He also reflects on the loss of his friend and ‘The Resident’ co-star Malcolm-Jamal Warner, sharing what ‘The Cosby Show’ meant to him and remembering Warner as “a great soul.”

On his NBC sitcom ‘Out All Night,’ Morris shares how Patti LaBelle brought homemade meals to set, while on ‘The Best Man,’ he recalls filming the tense balcony scene with Taye Diggs that left him exhausted after endless takes. A lifelong basketball fan, Chestnut was thrilled to join ‘Like Mike,’ where he sharpened his skills at basketball camp before filming began with Bow Wow and Jesse Plemons. Through it all, he reflects on the roles, relationships, and moments that helped define his career. ‘Watson’ airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on CBS.
