dothestrand asks:
What was it like making When Dreams May Come? Vincent Ward is a fantastic film-maker who never gets the credit or work he deserves. It’s a bit of a Williams schmaltz-fest but it’s one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. And Werner Herzog is in it!

Can I have a part in your next movie please? :))

At the time of filming were you aware of the cultural impact Boyz N the Hood would go on to have? The scene with the police officers’ stop and search really stuck with me. Powerful stuff.

Post your questions for Cuba Gooding Jr
Thirty years ago, Cuba Gooding Jr got a haircut from Eddie Murphy in a barbershop scene in Coming to America. Before long, the young actor with the big grin and bursting charisma was breaking through to major roles such as Tre Styles, a conflicted teen growing up in South Central Los Angeles in the blistering 1991 drama Boyz N the Hood.
It was his role as an American football player in Jerry Maguire that brought him both an ultra-quotable line (“Show me the money!”) and an Oscar for best supporting actor. His exuberant acceptance speech is one of the most famous in the awards’ history.
His Hollywood career has included the films As Good As It Gets, Pearl Harbor, Snow Dogs, American Gangster and Selma. Then, in 2016, he appeared in the breathtaking true-crime TV series The People vs OJ Simpson, delivering an Emmy-nominated performance as the actor-sportsman accused and acquitted of murder in a trial that gripped the US.
Gooding is currently on stage in another sensational crime drama, playing the untouchable lawyer Billy Flynn in Kander and Ebb’s classic musical Chicago at the Phoenix theatre in London.
He’ll be taking your questions on the show – and his whole career – in a webchat at 1pm on Tuesday 29 May. Post yours in the comments section below.
