So many people have been asking if the lion was real in episode 4 of Average Joe Season 2. It was, in all but two shots! The scene was directed and designed by our amazing episode 3 and 4 director, @joytlane9 , who sadly there isn’t enough of in this video. But here’s how we made it work.

Two days before the scene was shot, they brought Mojo, the lion, out to the set and showed him the scene Joy designed, with nobody there. Then they took him home. Joy shot all the performances with the actors the next day, and then the day after, they brought Mojo back to do the second unit work and match what Joy captured. And because he’s such a great actor, if Mojo decided he wanted to do something else, we took it, so if Joy wanted to, she could adjust the performances later.

Each time we changed shots, they had to take Mojo out so the cages could be rebuilt around the new setup before they brought him back in. It didn’t make for a fast process, and Mojo was only going to give one or two takes, so we had to be decisive and think on our feet. Example: the camera was on the floor in the wrong spot when he had to jump, and we were trapped behind the cage with him in the room. I was able to grab a stick and push the camera through a hole in the cage to get it close enough just before he leaped.

As a rule of thumb, Mojo works until he’s had enough on any given day. How do you know when that is? The last shot of the video was the cue. Lol. He did sit down on the set and make us wait 45 minutes afterwards just because he felt like it. But we didn’t care. We loved working with him. He was beautiful, majestic, and kind. Just a beyond amazing experience.

If you’re not yet watching Average Joe Season 2 on @paramountplus, you need to get on board. There is nothing like it on TV!! Our amazing, action-packed episode 5 drops on Wednesday. #DirectorsLife

Catch up… or get left behind. 👀

If you missed Episode 2, “Many Men,” now’s the time to lock in before tonight’s new episode, “Tricks.” The final season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan isn’t slowing down, and every episode matters.

Big shoutout to costume designer Tsigie White for always having an eye 👁️ for the era and bringing authenticity to every look. Grateful to be a part of this journey.

Continue to watch Marvin turn all the way up this season!

@raisingkananstarz Final Season is streaming now on @starz - it was such an honor to meet the inimitable @themekaicurtis who carries this show with grace, grit, and gravitas - I look forward to seeing what this fierce actor gets up to next. Congrats to all the cast, crew, and production of @raisingkananstarz Kanan on 5 seasons of an ass-kicking show. Good luck in all that follows!

Episode 2 is directed by the talented and lovely @joytlane9 , the first BLACK FEMALE DIRECTOR I’ve ever had on TV (and I’m a couple decades deep in this game, y’all) and hopefully more will join her ranks!

I was reunited with some #orangefamily on set. It’s was a delight to see @yapfongyee ‘s familiar face telling me I can’t just make up the lines as I go 🙃

Shout out to my @raisingkanan family, daughter @livsymone (yes, from the @michaelmovie!), and @kevindeanwilliams (1 out of 2 of my favorite TV husbands named Kevin) @brandonxespinoza it’s funny how you’re so scary on screen and such a teddy bear off. Acting, amiright?? It was such a pleasure working on this ground breaking show. It will definitely leave a void for black talent in NYC, so let’s get more great shows like this for US on the Big Stream!

Oh, and let’s not forget the incredible 90s costume design by @_spelledwitha_t - got me lookin’ like afrocentric Claire Huxtable and I’m here for it 💃🏿
