From “The Wood” to “The Mandalorian”: Rick Famuyiwa Proves Good Stories Are Universal

There are SO many different ideas out there about what it takes to make it in Hollywood. But our guest today, Rick Famuyiwa, is living proof that carving out your own lane is the move. You probably know him from his recent work, like the hit show “The Mandalorian,” or his 2015 indie smash “Dope” with Zoë Kravitz and A$AP Rocky. But today, we’re throwin’ it all the way back to where it started. Rick’s breaking down exactly how he paved his own way in the industry, the magic of telling stories that hit close to home, and y’all…he’s spilling some tea on how, at just 24 years old, three guys who would go on to become pretty big stars—Terrence Howard, Jamie Foxx, and Usher (ever heard of them?)—auditioned for his first movie, “The Wood.” Watch More Baby, This Is Keke Palmer episodes:    • Baby, This is Keke Palmer   Check out Keke's first merch drop by going to kekepalmershop.com Follow Keke on social:   / keke     / kekepalmer     / kekepalmer     / kekepalmer   Connect with Wondery https://wondery.com/shows/baby-this-i...   / wonderymedia     / wonderymedia     / wonderymedia     / wonderymedia   About the Show: Keke Palmer has questions for days, about everything under the sun.
