Papa Pope talks "Scandal," the N-word and his Dislike of Reality TV

A few days prior to Thanksgiving 2013, I had the pleasure of sitting down with accomplished film, TV and theater actor Joe Morton on my show, Uptown Studio.

Many of you still remember him as "Byron," the handsome groom Whitley Gilbert left at the altar on "A Different World," or you recall him from "Brother From Another Planet."

I was totally geeked to sit down with a man who takes his craft so seriously --and is shows. He's a master at what he does: effortlessly and naturally reciting month-long monologues about being THE hell and the high water; commanding attention as the (former) head of B613 on "Scandal," and portraying the no-nonsense and tough-love father to Olivia Pope.

In addition to our talk on "Scandal," he shares his disdain for reality TV, his take on the use of the N-word, and his passion for cooking.

Check it out, comment, and share with friends. #JoeMorton
