- Hey, what's going on guys, Marcus Scribner here,
and I voice Bow on She-Ra and the Princess of Power.
I am gonna be doing my firsts.
Right, we're gonna shake the bucket up,
don't wanna see what I'm about to pick.
I like to be surprised.
(upbeat music)
First red carpet event.
Ah, this was an exciting one, I'm not gonna lie.
Nowadays, I don't mean to be rude,
but sometimes I just wanna like see a movie
and not really walk the red carpet,
but I wanna see it at the premier.
So I just pull up in sweats and skip the red carpet.
So now I'm like, I feel like I'm like,
yeah, I'm a cool guy, you know what I mean,
like I don't have to like take pictures and stuff.
But my first red carpet experience,
you know that movie Planes, where it was like
the Cars adaptation?
I got all dressed up, picked out my coolest
I Love California T-shirt, and went to the premier.
It had a lot of cool like fire-fighter themed popcorn
and all this kind of stuff, so that was my first
red carpet experience.
I'm gonna toss that off behind me, yeah.
First time watching She-Ra.
I think it was when I got the audition,
my Mom was extremely excited, growing up watching
the show of course.
My Dad also watching He-Man and She-Ra so,
they were both super pumped, they were like,
"Okay, you gotta watch an episode."
So I watched an episode before we ever auditioned.
It was crazy seeing my character Bow,
I was like, "Oh yeah, I have no chance of booking this,
"but we'll go there and have fun."
Because Bow in the original She-Ra was like
this middle-aged white man, so it was very different.
It was like, "Hi, She-Ra!"
And now, it's just kind of like Bow's my voice,
which is cool.
All right, one more.
I mean I want more, we're going the distance boys.
First role you really wanted but went to someone else.
Now what a devastating feeling that is.
Obviously being a child actor,
I've been on like a billion, trillion Disney auditions
for Disney shows, and you always get up to the top
and you do the chemistry reads,
and you're like, "This is a shoe-in,
"I'm gonna be locked into a Disney contract for five years,
"it's gonna be amazing."
One of the ones that I really remember
is Girl Meets World.
I auditioned for Farkle and I was like,
"Yeah, dude I've got this."
In the end, you never end up getting them,
so luckily I didn't and then ended up booking Blackish.
So yeah, look at that.
But I don't mean to say anything mean about Disney,
I love you guys over there as well,
so let's toss this one.
All right, I'm throwing these behind,
I hope I'm not being disrespectful
to the entire Buzzfeed crew.
I'll pick them up afterwards.
See what we got cooking next.
All right, I feel like a chef over here.
First incorrect rumor you read about yourself.
I'm gonna be honest, the internet is pretty nice to me,
which it's kind of, it's insane,
the internet's a very scary place.
Recently there was a story that came out
that was like, Yara Shahidi's dating a middle-aged white man
on the show, and it's like, no it's not true.
But I haven't really had any rumors.
People are pretty kind, so thank you internet.
Don't create any rumors after this, please.
I feel so horrible throwing these behind.
First big audition.
Castle, I had like a small guest star role.
My name was Tim, I was like,
"Hey guys, wanna see my baseball cards?"
And I was like, "Uncle Harvey!" and then they took
me upstairs and I just was never seen again.
That was pretty big for me.
Like, booking that was kind of like I was like nine,
so I was like, I'm gonna be rich.
I was playing Lacrosse at the time, I was like,
I'm gonna get gold Lacrosse heads, like I'm just gonna
have the best like year ever.
And of course, the cheque comes and it's like,
nope, that was a lie.
First time you were starstruck.
Probably my top three people that I would just like
ever meet and just like probably pass out,
are Drake, I mean, he's our light skinned Lord and savior.
And then we have Barack Obama, the President,
the greatest of all time, my favorite.
And then Kobe Bryant, just 'cause the Black Mamba,
Lakers, I mean, there's no competition.
So I've met Barack Obama, with my entire family
at the Easter Egg Ball.
Heart palpitations, Michelle gives the best hugs,
Barack said I was funny.
It was just like, there was a lot of things happening.
I was kinda sick on the day,
so I look stupid in the picture.
Didn't put my arm around Michelle, I was super awkward,
so I just kind of like had it stuck.
You know when you like have it stuck in between
two people, this is what I look like in the picture.
And then meeting Kobe, Kobe also watches the show
with his family.
Mind blown, so that was an insane experience,
still haven't met Drake.
Surprising, I've met Barack but not Drake.
Where are you champagne pappy?
Drake?
No I'm joking.
First memory from the set of Black-ish.
It's a difficult one.
I remember the first, it was so awkward.
The first day it was just extremely awkward.
We had to take like a bunch of spec shoot photos,
and it really felt like, there was like,
it was like a prom experience.
Like Miles would get on my back like in a big brother pose,
and I was like, just for like the spec shoot,
and it was so awkward, it was all of our first times
meeting each other, so everybody was like,
"Hi, nice to meet you."
And I was super awkward at the time,
so all my hugs were.
It was very, it was an insane experience,
so that was my first memory from the set of Black-ish.
They've all been positive after that,
but that was, that was awkward.
First acting credit.
Huh, what was my first credit, my Mom's over there,
she can probably tell me the first time to be credited.
- [Mom] I'm gonna go with Castle.
- Castle, Castle, there, it all rotates back
to Tim in Castle and the baseball cards.
We've got our last one, people.
I mean, this hurts my heart.
Let's see what it is.
First time you were recognized in public.
The first billboard started going up around the time that
I was going into my high school career.
So 9th grade was at Hamilton high school,
walking up the stairs, there was a billboard
right across the street, most embarrassing thing
that's ever happened to me.
But this like huge senior stopped me on the staircase,
and he was like, "Get out, you were on the billboard
"across the street!" and I was like, "yeah."
And he was like, "Yo, that's dope, man!"
Nobody knew what the show was at the time,
it was just like Black-ish, everyone was like,
"Okay, we'll give it a chance."
But he recognized me from the billboards,
so that was the first time I got recognized in public.
Also, I used to take the public bus,
I used to take the blue seven down Piko,
then the billboards started appearing on the side
of the buses, so it was kind of odd for me to get on a bus
with the Black-ish thing on the side.
So, my Mom was like, yeah, we're gonna probably pick you
up from school now.
And that is, I think that's everything,
those are all my firsts.
