Andre junior on ABC's show
blackish.
>> Now the show is in its sixth
season and going strong.
What's up.
Looking sharp.
19 years old, player, you're in
that purgatory zone, you're not
old enough to go to a club, but
you're an adult.
>> I hang out with my friends at
different colleges.
We have a good time.
But, you know, we keep it
locked.
>> You're on one of the biggest
shows on TV.
This is huge.
>> Growing up on the show, being
13 when I first started, that's
like right before you go to high
school.
You can imagine all the cool
points that got me.
Had to start doing online home
school.
>> You didn't get to have a
natural high school experience?
>> No.
I went to proms.
Because I'm from L.A.
I have a bunch of friends out
here.
>> You got the benefit of the
education?
>> Nice.
>> Okay.
I'm in class.
>> On set we had to work like
three hours each day, you go
home --
>> Bank hours.
Mario knows how it goes.
>> He does it.
>> I got another picture right
here, that's a flashback Friday
of course.
I want to see what you were
thinking about.
Twice already it hasn't come up.
Is it coming?
Here it is.
>> Drum roll.
>> It came up.
>> You're looking a little fly
right there.
>> I'm so bad with ages.
>> 17.
>> I'm going to go with 10,
probably.
It was around 4th when I had my
afro.
You know how it goes.
>> Yeah.
So --
>> You were woke in the fourth
grade?
>> I've been woke.
>> Talk to me about this choice.
>> I feel like it was more of an
action shot.
I was in the middle of doing
this.
They caught me a little bit.
>> I understand there's a new
member of the family?
>> There is.
>> His name is Oden like the --
>> Oden son.
>> Yeah, that's his first bout.
He was not thrilled.
He's scared of the blow dryer.
He's like 4 1/2 months now.
>> He gets real big?
>> Yeah, he's literally already
over 40 pounds.
>> The head gets the size of a
steering wheel?
>> It bumps into me right now.
It's this big and it hurts.
>> You take care of it?
>> I do.
When we first got him, he was a
little sick.
I had to clean up vomit.
I had to wake up at 2:00 A.M.,
3:00 A.M. Every night.
He's been a nightmare, but we
love him so much.
>> It's like having a son.
>> Mario, you know what it's
like.
>> That's like a baby that
doesn't grow up.
>> Blackish has another spin
off, mixedish.
Tracee Ellis Ross plays your
mother on the show.
What is it like to have her on
the set as this kind of force in
entertainment.
And an automatic mentor
situation?
>> It's insane to be surrounded
by so much talent.
So many amazing talented actors.
>> Morpheus is your grandfather.
>> We did this episode and
someone was joking, he was going
to pop out with his full suit.
And.
>> I know, who knows, right?
Let's see.
>> Lawrence, please man, just
one role.
>> You were talking about it
earlier, and just -- it kind of
dawned on me.
This is a young man, 19 years
old, about to come into a whole
other level in this industry.
What would you have told your
19-year-old self?
>> Fortunately there was no
social media, I got to keep
that -- I've gotten to know
Marcus a little bit.
He's got great parents, he's
been taken all the right steps.
You don't hear about him getting
