That's it ?!?! I'm here from youtube thinking he sang the whole thing. Its like expecting a very Expensive Tomahawk steak 🥩 but then getting chicken 🐔 liver. 🥴
Malō lava Dwayne, you are such an incredible and beautiful soul. I love that you are humble, respectful and caring to everyone you come across. Thank you for representing our Samoan culture in such a positive manner, always respectful to everyone you speak to no matter what as that is how we truly are in the both Samoa’s. when you first appeared on television I was elated! I had never seen anyone from our culture make it into the movie industry, which has been my dream ever since we got our first T.V. in Samoa when I was 5. I knew right then and there what I wanted to do when I came back to the states. You gave me inspiration that I could do it too! The only problem was I kept telling myself it wasn’t the right time. It took the sudden death of my little brother at age 24 to open my eyes. Broken hearted as I watched him lay in his casket, I thought, “What am I waiting for? to lay in my casket and never had tried because I was too scared. I might fail? Well, I’d rather try and fail than not had tried at all.” It’s never going to be the right time. I realized it was just an excuse because I was scared, yes it’s my dream but what if I make a fool of myself? Then I realized making mistakes and making a fool of myself had always been my learning experience through life. Right after Tyler’s funeral I started acting classes and accepted any role I could get in order to learn and grow. I still thank you to this day for being my biggest inspiration. I’m now with SAG/AFTRA did a few movies, shorts, on stage shows, commercials etc. However when I got the chance to Co-produce with a good friend of mine I realized I LOVE being behind the camera better! I love bringing people together and seeing our script come to life on the big screen. I’m not big or famous or anything but I was blessed enough to finally Produce my very own show in 2017, “Lisa at Large” (its on RU-vid, you know? Just in case u get bored and want to see what an ameture show looks like. Hehe 😉) I was both excited & nervous as heck but happy to be able to produce my very own show in 2017 enlisting that good friend of mine that I 1st co-produced w/from the beginning, to share the Executive Producer credit w/me Our cast & crew were fantastic! Full of energy, we were so organized we shot 94 pages in 8 days (we shot on weekends) I also made sure we shot it in February the month my little brother passed away so It would give me strength. It won many awards at many film festivals and filmed it on a shoe string budget. One of my favorite awards out of all of them was best Cast Ensemble. Our cast members had the best chemistry. I felt like a proud Mama.🥰 It didn’t make it big or anything but I’m so proud of my cast and crew for their hard work, positive attitudes and professionalism. You and God made this possible! You made me feel a Samoan girl like me can do it too. God helped me stay sane through the stress of wearing two hats, producing and acting in the show lol. Most important keeping everyone safe and happy. Wow I wrote a novel, hope you had a snicker’s nearby.😬 I just wanted to express my gratitude and let you know what you have done for me. Fa’afetai lava. Alofa atu ia oe ma lou aiga.
Mr Johnson, you’ll probably never see this but I had the pleasure to work with a cousin of yours in Springfield, MO. Communication Solutions training class around 2013 or 2014. I can’t remember her name as it’s almost a decade later but she talked about you all the time. She carried your picture around. She shared stories of you. You’re such a humble man, a strong man but she cared the MOST about your love and your devotion to family. I hope she’s okay! I wish I could remember her name but we all thought it was so neat that she was related to you! And our catch phrase was FOCUS!!!!!!
Little known fact: Every time The Rock lifts a single eyebrow the Vine boom sound can be heard. It's a shame the editing team always feels the need to remove it.
