CUBA GOODING JR. ON HIS ROLE IN RED TAILS MAARIE MOORE
I
t is ironic that we sat just a few blocks from here in 1991 when Cuba Gooding Jr. Gooding, along with Laurence Fishburne, were promoting “Boyz ‘N the Hood” at the Mayflower Hotel in New York City. He was hanging with Morris Chestnut, who wasn’t that well known at the time and wasn’t doing interviews. “I’m just here to support Cuba,” Chestnut chuckled. In 1995 Gooding shared the screen once again with Fishburne in the HBO film, “Tuskegee Airmen.” Today, in an exclusive interview for his role as Major Emanuelle Stance in the monumental movie, “Red Tails,” Gooding discusses his journey to here.
