>> Daniel Ezra stars alongside
taye Diggs.
>> Scott literally watched 30
hours in a row of all American.
>> It was a lot.
>> I feel like now we're all
family.
>> I needed to know.
Is taye your daddy.
>> I had to watch until we
figured that part out.
>> You ask that question.
You had so much chemistry.
>> Yeah, he's one of my favorite
actors to work with.
>> He spoke so highly of you.
>> He's so much fun, he makes
every -- he relaxes everyone.
Not just the actors, but he
relaxes everyone.
And always here to play and it's
my favorite thing when he gets
that's big emotional episodes.
Because he's like the fun guy.
But he can -- he goes in and
it's time to go in.
I love working with him.
Any advice he gave you
navigating the business and this
whole crazy world?
>> The biggest one was
instincts.
Always trust your instincts.
It sounds cliche but it's easy
to get wrapped up in people
telling you what to get wrapped
up in.
It's something he said he had to
learn.
To trust your gut, and he passed
on to me for sure.
>> Would that have been about
the same age as Winston?
>> Winston.
>> Did you see how Stella got
her groove back?
>> No.
>> You have to watch it.
>> I know, I know.
I'm sorry.
>> I'll watch a lot of taye's
movies.
>> I can't get over Daniel's
accent.
Where are you from originally?
>> Birmingham in the U.K. And
then I moved to long don at 19
to go to theater school.
Actor school.
>> Theater school.
>> I can't do an accent.
We're not doing it, it's real
bad.
>> No matter what kind of
accent.
It could be any --
>> Other than Texan, it always
comes out Asian.
>> I don't know why, we're not
going to play this game.
>> If you had to give her one
line?
>> No, we're not doing it.
>> She loves the Royals.
One that she could re-create,
let's try it.
>> Okay.
Say I fancy some fish and chips.
>> I fancy some fish and chips.
>> See, then you start -- I
fancy some fish and chips.
>> That was a little northern.
>> Let's talk about not the
accent but your American accent
was good.
Is that hard to get?
>> It was.
Because it's quite specific --
like south central L.A. And the
crenshaw district has a similar
dialect.
Making it so specific to that
area was tough.
>> It has very specific heroes.
>> Yes.
>> Nipsey hustle being one of
them.
>> He was my blueprint for the
accent.
>> Really?
>> Yeah.
>> He was also close to the
show, right?
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We pay tribute to him in our
opening episode of season two.
We had this amazing candle lit
vigil.
We went to the basketball court
that has his face on it now.
Over the lesson of the family.
We had this sort of mural here
that was painted by a friend of
his family.
Keenan Chapman.
An incredible artist, paid the
work for us to use in the show.
That's the first original image
you see in season two.
He was supposed to be in the
finale during the crenshaw pep
rally.
For those who haven't seen it,
but it was the soldier in the
grammy season, he was up for the
grammy.
We only had the school for that
day, we couldn't make it work.
I think the plan was to make him
a part of this season, but he
passed away.
>> What I love about the show
and the community it's in, it
represents, they come out and
love on you.
Even when you're shooting.
>> It's the best to go into
filming in south central L.A.
It's great, they recognize us,
they know us, all Americans
here, all Americans here,
they'll comment -- the kids will
come and play with us.
We'll hang out, go to the
schools, it's like one big
family.
>> I love your football skills,
they've come on strong.
>> It's good to see you,
brother.
>> And if you haven't watched
it, binge it right now, it's so
good.
All American airs Mondays at
8:00 on the cw.
>> Coming up, chef Serena wolf
has figured out how we can eat
some of our favorite comfort
foods and be a little health why
I.
We're making hot chicken
