Speaking of Morris and Taye, when I did the press run for The Best Man: The Final Chapters, Morris talked about him struggling during some of the choreographed dance routines. But while answering that same question, he also complimented you and Taye on being excellent dancers. Was there anything involving that franchise that you struggled with that might surprise fans?
When we did the first Best Man, I hadn’t done a lot of comedy before, so I was really, really quite insecure about it. There was a scene where we’re trying to stop Lance from ruining his wedding, and we go to the church, and [Morris] is so strong that he’s, like, literally dragging us with his feet, through the church. I read that [script] and was like, “Hey Malcolm, you want him to drag me? Come on, I already look like a sucker. Now he’s supposed to drag me in a church? This is crazy!” And he was like, “Harold, listen, it’s going to be funny, trust me.” I was like, “It’s not funny to me, Malcolm. You’re not getting dragged. This is not funny.” It turned out to be one of the funniest things ever. By the time we returned to set, I was like, let’s be funny. Come on, let’s do it. I love that.
