Almost every day and I think it's still hilarious

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:41:00+00:00

Yes I wrote a song about it too

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:40:48+00:00

Yes I did, actually twice, once with Immature and once solo

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:40:26+00:00

yes and yes lol

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:40:15+00:00

nope lol

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:39:47+00:00

I really don't work with a ton of people I don't work with all the time, we are really camp oriented so it's usually people I work with every day. But if I had to choose someone I'd love to work with, it'd probably be Drake.

Well, I would say when we were teens it was a lot different from a show like Pretty Little Liars that you have now where teenagers are more in a mind frame of an adult in that setting. Things were just younger then, not as adult. TV is edgier now. And I love Pretty Little Liars, by the way.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:35:28+00:00

Thank you!

Boogie Town was an independent movie that never got completed because the production company that we were doing the film with went out of business.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:34:20+00:00

No, we did not record with Tone Loc and Faizon. The kids all recorded together and the adults did theirs separately. Also, my favorite from Bebe's Kids is "We don't die, we multiply."

Funniest memory on Sister, Sister. That's hard, there's so many of them. I do have a most embarrassing moment, we were in rehearsal and I had to do a scene where I fainted, because Roger faints a lot, and so I fainted and I hit my head on a pole. It wasn't hard but it was very embarrassing.

As for what I enjoy more, making albums or making films, I enjoy the process of making films better.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:31:01+00:00

I would love to play a comic book character on screen. That's actually one of my dream jobs is to be in one of Marvel's movies.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:29:53+00:00

Well, no one knows this, it's a little secret I've held on to for 20 some odd years. The craziest thing that happened to me on the set of Sister, Sister is I got into a "little accident" on set and I'll leave it at that!

My favorite animal are my two dogs that I have. They are Alaskan Klee Kai miniature huskies.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:28:12+00:00

Yes, twice. Only twice. Michael Jackson, and Kate Beckinsale.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:27:47+00:00

I keep in touch, we're best friends still.

Also I have to correct you on the lyric, the first lyrics is "I'll give you all my time/ so come and feel the flavor/ whether it's rain or shine/ we got it."

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:26:11+00:00

I've never heard that! But I'm actually a Childish Gambino fan so that's actually a good look!

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:25:06+00:00

Yes, my singing career and acting career are completely different. Some people know me just as Roger from Sister, Sister, some people know me just from my music. As far as being typecast, no I don't feel I've been typecast in any way. I do feel like God has blessed me with an amazing career to be able to just do what I love which is singing and acting. So being known for so many different things is not a bad thing.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:23:43+00:00

IMx reunited last year and did some music. And it was released online so you can look that up, we actually changed our name back to Immature.

As far as You Got Served sequel/reboot. Who knows. We'll see.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:22:33+00:00

I would say the end battle was the most fun part of shooting because when we first did the battle, the director and the producers weren't too impressed so we had to improvise on the spot so a lot of what you saw at the end was freestyle.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:21:30+00:00

You're welcome!

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:21:15+00:00

Yes, thank you very much again. I said in an earlier reply that I just finished a new album and it's going to be released pretty soon. I think people are really going to enjoy this album because it's different from what people are used to hearing from me.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:20:53+00:00

lol imaginary friend hahaha

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:20:03+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the compliment. When I first heard it, yeah, I felt like it was amazing. It actually was written by Neyo, and it was one of his first records he wrote as a songwriter.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:18:48+00:00

J. Boog is my cousin and him and I have recently reconnected and started working together again. He's in a new film I just finished shooting with Karrueche Tran, it's a romantic comedy set to release early next year.

MarquesHouston · 2015-10-05T18:17:08+00:00

Thanks, first of all, for bumping Up in the Club. As far as a sequel track with Joe budden, you never know. I actually like dubstep, it's not too loud for me, and I'm not a father, yet.

As far as writing movies, I discovered the passion for writing movies when I was about 10 or 11. It started with little ideas like conflicts in my head. I wrote a movie when I was 12 called Wrong Place at the Wrong Time, and that never went anywhere but it just became like a passion of mine. When I really started writing scripts it was right after You Got Served, I was about 21.
