“The guy who’s selling me the shoes had the whitest teeth I’d ever seen,” says Catlett, who moved from Virginia to L.A. after high school to pursue basketball .
The man with the really white teeth told Catlett that he was — surprise! — an actor. “Something rolled in me and I said, ‘Hey, man, I always wanted to try that.’ And he said, ‘well, you should come to my acting class.'”Catlett went, and since that $25 class, he’s gone on to successfully establish himself within the industry.
Catlett’s relationship with the movie’s impressive young lead, Jahi Di’Allo Winston, transcended the making of the film. That mentorship is a central focus for Catlett; formerly a youth pastor, he runs his own academy that provides guidance to young actors. “Whether it’s talking about the birds and the bees or spiritual life or your career, I’m able to give them those principles so that they can maintain a healthy mindset and move forward,” he says.
