Exclusive: Yvonne Senat Jones Talks ‘Ruthless’ and Disney+ ‘Sneakeralla’

by Julian Cannon December 29, 2020
written by Julian Cannon

The second half of Tyler Perry’s ‘Ruthless’ returned not too long ago as it is coming off with a strong first season overall. There has been a number of twists and turns that kept the viewers engaged to see more of ‘Ruthless’ every week. Being that it is a direct spinoff of ‘The Oval’, ‘Ruthless’ has made an idenity of itself to differentiate from the main series. Yvonne Senat Jones starred in ‘The Oval’ as Tally and has also been featured on ‘Ruthless’ since the show began airing earlier this year.

Yvonne Senat Jones is also going to co-star on the upcoming Disney+ original film ‘Sneakeralla’ as Denise King. ‘Sneakeralla will premiere in 2021, but Yvonne Senat Jones is here to give a quick preview of the film and to talk about some of the back half of ‘Ruthless’ in this exclusive interview!

The Knockturnal: You will be featured on the upcoming Disney+ film Sneakerella which will be set in NYC. I would like to know more about the project.

YSJ: “Sneakerella” is a modern-day, sneaker culture take on the classic fairytale Cinderella.  It’s a pop/hip hop musical with incredible singing and dancing.  And I can tell you, from what I saw on the screens backstage, it’s going to be magical!

The Knockturnal: Since Sneakerella’s story is about the sneaker culture, do you have any favorite pair of sneakers that you previously owned, or would like to own?

YSJ: Man, my favorite pair of sneakers I own are a mint green pair of Chuck Taylor’s. They’ve definitely seen better days but I just can’t let them go! But let me tell you, after seeing some of the shoes they had on set, I definitely want to up my sneaker game.

The Knockturnal: Production of Sneakerella began back in October. What were some challenges that you and the cast had to endure while you were all filming during this ongoing pandemic? 

YSJ: Having to quarantine for 2 weeks (as in: not even leaving your front door to take out the trash) was pretty frustrating. The apartment complex we stayed in would collect the trash and also bring up any deliveries we ordered. Thankfully, my husband was able to come with me to Canada so we caught up on all of our series we’d been trying to finish. I finally know the ending of “Frustrating.”

The Knockturnal: You were recently on Tyler Perry’s Ruthless and the back half of the first season is currently airing. Without giving too much away, what can the viewers expect from the season finale when it airs in January?

YSJ: Viewers can expect the same feeling they had after the first midseason finale: “What just happened?” and “When is Ruthless coming back?”  Honestly, [show creator] Tyler [Perry] has such a gift for suspense and creating these cliff hangers that leave everyone guessing. What I can say is this season finale cliffhanger is going to be shocking.

The Knockturnal: Which of the cast of Ruthless have you bonded with the most?

YSJ: Honestly, the entire cast bonded immediately. We have group chats where we celebrate each other’s accomplishments and talk about the most recent episodes. Everyone is very supportive and encouraging.  It’s really a gift when you can say that about a cast. I’m also close with Melissa [Williams] which was a friendship we developed since working on “The Oval” together.  She’s a wonderful, highly talented woman who is doing an incredible job!

The Knockturnal: Being that this show’s central plot is around a cult, have you done research about real cults to prepare you for your character Tally before you were part of the filming of the episodes?

YSJ: Yes, since the Rakadushis were first introduced in “The Oval”, Melissa [Williams] and I watched documentaries and interviews about people who had been in cults.  The most surprising revelation I had was that cult members came from every kind of background.  There were high-paid engineers, CEOs, college students, and runaways. The commonality is they all felt like they were finally a part of something bigger than themselves.  Unfortunately, the cult leader abused their power and it often ended in tragedy.

The Knockturnal: What are some things that you are looking forward to for the year of 2021?

YSJ: My husband and I are really excited for 2021. We’re moving into a house from an apartment and we’re finally getting a dog! I’m also looking forward to the release of “Ruthless” Season 2 as well as “Sneakerella” because I’m excited for people to see it.

Exclusive: ‘Bridgerton’ Cast Discuss Joining Shondaland [Video]

by Katherine Tinsley December 21, 2020
written by Katherine Tinsley

On December 25th, Shondaland will be premiering their first project with Netflix: Bridgerton.

The show is based on the Julia Quinn book series and shows the beauty of the regency era with the drama and entertainment that Shondaland is known for. Unlike the book series, Shondaland was intentional about showcasing and reflecting the world we live in by having a diverse cast and storylines exploring race, class, and sexuality all while telling the scandalous stories of the British aristocracy. 

Chris Van Dussen (show-runner and executive producer) discussed having an on set etiquette expert who taught the cast the social cues of the regency era and how to mimic the body language and customs of the regency era aristocracy. It was important to the Shondaland team to focus on every detail of the show. They invested time in making sure the show felt authentic to viewers while remaining enjoyable and binge worthy like many of Shonda’s series. 

Shonda Rhimes is an icon in American television and for the British cast of Bridgerton it was an honor to join her orbit and the Shondaland family. For Jonathan Bailey he’s proud to be a part of a family that champions diversity and inclusion. For actress Nicola Coughlan Shonda Rhimes has set the benchmark for what television should be. 

With Shonda Rhimes creating iconic television Bridgerton is a reflection of the Shondaland sparkle.The television series and period piece explores many modern conversations around race and class through  a gossip column, forbidden love, social gatherings,and the social relationships and social mobility of the characters. As a result the show isn’t short of drama, passion, and humor. 

With Bridgerton, audiences will not only see themselves in a television series set in an era and genre that typically lacks representation. Audiences will be able to laugh and enjoy the lives, various realties, worlds, and personalities of the Bridgertons.

Exclusive: Haskiri Velazquez Talks Starring in All New ‘Saved by The Bell’ Reboot [Video]

by Sydney Hargrove December 21, 2020
written by Sydney Hargrove

The all new “Saved By The Bell” reboot from Peacock stars the original cast as well as some new faces as we meet a brand new generation of Bayside High students, some from “overprivileged” families, and other from working-class families.

The two different worlds collide when California Governor Zack Morris transfers students from lower income neighborhoods nearby after his administration experiences controversy for closing too many low-income high schools. Among the new students, we meet the exuberant and bright eyed Daisy, played by the incredibly Haskiri Velazquez. Haskiri talks about the role she plays with great pride, seeing herself in this character that she portrays as the two come from similar upbringings. Throughout her time in the series, Daisy shows nothing but ambition on her road to becoming class president and showing her fellow classmates everything she is determined to accomplish. Haskiri takes on the part with grace and passion, showcasing her talent and dedication to bringing out who Daisy is.

We had the chance to sit down with Haskiri to talk all about the series, her audition process, and what it was like to adapt this series for all new modern day audiences. Check out the full conversation below!

Exclusive: Sheyi Cole Talks Landing the Lead Role in ‘Alex Wheatle’ From Steve McQueen’s ‘Small Axe’ Series [Video]

by Briana Atkins December 21, 2020
written by Briana Atkins

Sheyi Cole was still in his first year of drama school when he saw the casting call for Small Axe.

Small Axe is Steve McQueen’s new anthology series streaming on Amazon Prime. The series follows five stories of the West Indian experience in London over different decades. Even though auditioning for professional roles while still in school was “frowned upon”, Cole knew this was a once in a lifetime chance to get himself in front of Steve McQueen. Luckily for him, this was a risk that paid off.

Sheyi Cole beat out hundreds of other young men for the role of Alex Wheatle in the movie of the same name. Alex Wheatle is the fourth film in the Small Axe series, and it details the author’s life growing up in London’s foster care system before moving to a youth hostel in Brixton where he developed his crucial rocker sound. After being arrested during the Brixton riots, Wheatle met a Rastafarian, Simeon, who helped him change his path and influence him into the person he is today. Cole sat down with The Knockturnal to talk about how he felt when he learned he got the role and what it means to him to be a part of Small Axe.

Exclusive: Regé-Jean Page Discusses Cultural Work, ‘Sylvie’s Love’ and ‘Bridgerton’ [Video]

by Katherine Tinsley December 21, 2020
written by Katherine Tinsley

This Christmas Regé-Jean Page will have two projects premiering Sylvie’s Love and Bridgerton. 

Bridgerton is Shondaland’s (Shonda Rhimes’ production company) Netflix debut. The show explores the British regency period while also incorporating scandalous storylines. The Bridgerton series is based on the book series written by Julia Quinn. Regé-Jean Page, stars in the show and plays the Duke of Hastings also known as Simon Bassett. What makes the Bridgerton series special isn’t just the characters and their stories but also the representation of communities that are typically not seen or discussed when looking at the Regency era. Viewers will see people of color being a part of the aristocracy and even as British royalty. For Regé-Jean Page, being able to work with Shonda Rhimes is always a joy; the actor worked with Shonda Rhimes  previously when he was on the show We The People. 

The actor is dedicated to the craft of not just acting but he also is invested in creating what he refers to as culture work. For Page, his projects are “representative of the diverse” and tell stories of various Black cultures and origins. His work in the remake of Roots was a project he delved into knowing the cultural significance it held for Black Americans and their history. The actor himself  is both from Harare, Zimbabwe and London, England giving him a bicultural perspective, and that unique lens has given him a balanced view of the world that has played a large role in his cultural work and life. 

His culture work is also seen in his role of Chico in Sylvie’s Love. The actor, who previously was a drummer, had to relearn how to play the instrument in order to come into the rhythm and identity of a New York jazz musician. Though the characters of Simon and Chico differ in many ways, Regé-Jean Page’s dedication to his craft is consistent with every role.

Exclusive: ‘The Wilds’ Cast Discuss Finding their Rhythm & The New Show [Video]

by Katherine Tinsley December 17, 2020
written by Katherine Tinsley

The Wilds premiered on December 11, 2020 on Amazon Prime. 

The Wilds created by Sarah Streicher and executive produced by Amy B Harris explores the challenges and difficulties of being a teenager in modern society. After a plane crash eight teenage girls are left stranded on a deserted island left to fend for themselves. In the process eight girls are able to learn more about themselves and each other through their experience being stranded on an island forced to depend on one another for survival.

 

For actress Rachel Griffiths, developing the rhythm and tone of her character Gretchen Klein is something she became fully invested in from the moment she read the script.In her own words The Wilds was “one of the three best pilots I’ve read in my life… it’s like discovering a novelist that is gonna be a friend for your life.” The characters are multidimensional and with each episode the layering of each character and their storylines deepens the plot of the series. 

Troy Winbush and David Sullivan they were patient with their characters and they’re evolution. The two actors allowed the progression of their characters to evolve with the script and set. The two actors relied on each other and their costars to build the various power dynamics that exist with their roles.

The brainchild of Sarah Streicher was skillfully brought together through the dedication of the cast and crew. The characters, their complex lives, and their own evolution is woven into the struggles of surviving life on a stranded island. The cast focused on understanding the lives of their characters and their characters’ timelines. The cast members also invested time into  developing the various speech patterns, and body language of the characters in order to show how their  characters’ various realities intersect. 

The show will also show the challenges of being an adolescent in today’s world. The Wilds  challenges the idea that maybe being on a stranded island might have more in common with being a teenager than people realize. Audiences will see the beauty of friendship, the power of teens, and what life might be like being stranded on an island in a digital age.

Exclusive: Michelin Star Chef Dani Garcia Talks Taste of sbe Virtual Culinary Event

by Jillian Fabiano December 17, 2020
written by Jillian Fabiano

Preheat that oven ladies and gentlemen, because we have some recipes that you are not going to want to miss. 

Sbe hosted the 4th annual Taste of sbe virtually this December and oh, was it a treat! The annual culinary event featured star chefs Dani Garcia, Masaharu Morimoto, Dario Cecchini, and Jose Icardi. Each chef was paired up with a celebrity guest for an interactive at-home culinary experience.

Attendees could purchase tickets to attend the 4 evenings of virtual cooking sessions, starting at $50 for all 4 sessions, and the proceeds helped restaurants and chefs struggling financially due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Each chef shared exclusive recipes to one of their signature dishes, and attendees were able to recreate the dishes in the comfort of their own homes (and probably pajamas.)

Celebrity guests included Nick Jonas, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Giuliana Rancic and Dutch designer Marcel Wanders.

We had the opportunity to speak with three (!!!) Michelin Star awarded chef, Dani Garcia, who was paired with Nick Jonas. Are we Jealous he got to cook with Nick? Yes, yes we are.

Check out the full interview with Chef Dani Garcia below.

The Knockturnal: What are you most looking forward to about the Taste of sbe?

Chef Dani Garcia: To be able to share our passion for food as well as our Mediterranean influence partnering with this great brand that is sbe and the celebrities they have partnered with. I hope one day we can also do a chef collaboration between all chefs that sbe has partnerships with. This is a crucial time and we are so thrilled to be able to highlight the cuisine of our restaurants through this virtual event.

The Knockturnal: Is there any particular celebrity you look forward to working with?

Chef Dani Garcia: If I had to choose I would say Nick Jonas, very talented artist and hardworking individual, and of course we are paired together. We had a blast working together on this.

The Knockturnal: What is your favorite dish that you will be making? Can you please explain the dish?

Chef Dani Garcia: Whole marinated Sea Bass. This dish highlights my roots from Malaga while also introducing the influences of my travels. Fish is placed in an ¨adobo¨ or marinated with a base of acidity and paprika for at least 24 hours, then is fried and placed over its own fried bones. Something I remember seeing for the first time in one of my travels in Asia. Very flavourful dish.

The Knockturnal: When did you begin cooking? What was the “aha” moment when you realized you wanted to become a chef?

Chef Dani Garcia: I´ve always enjoyed cooking, I remember being a young kid and seeing my mother and grandmother cook, but the moment that I truly decided to focus on it as a profession was at 16 years old. I began by studying in cooking school.

The Knockturnal: Which chef is your biggest inspiration?

Chef Dani Garcia: I have three main inspirations: Ferran Adria, Nobu and Robuchon. These are three chefs that are always looking to break barriers in their own way.

The Knockturnal: What advice do you have for someone that wants to become a chef?

Chef Dani Garcia: To follow their dreams, always. It is a very hard profession and there will always be moments and situations they will have to conquer. There are always naysayers and people with opinions, but the dream is always the most important part to conquer all.

Did you miss the event and the chance to see Nick Jonas in the kitchen? Don’t worry! Sbe will be streaming the virtual event for 30 days. So go grab your apron and get ready to check out the event here.
