First of all, I never wanted to be an actor. Ever,\u201d\u00a0Crews says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Crews says he believed he was going to be a special effects artist working for Industrial Lights &amp; Magic, a visual effects company.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says when he moved to Los Angeles he went broke and took to searching for change in couch cushions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWe were just out here really suffering. My first job in L.A. was sweeping floors at a factory,\u201d he says. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>He says he then became a security guard on a movie set when a chance audition for the 1999 TV series \u201cBattle Dome\u201d got him into acting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIt was like \u201cAmerican Gladiators\u201d on steroids, it was crazy. But I was in as an actor and I never looked back. I meant that\u2019s now almost 22 years ago,\u201d Crews says. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Crews\u2019s career has been filled with hit movies such as the 2004 comedy \u201cWhite Chicks\u201d to the penny-pinching dad on \u201cEverybody Hates Chris\u201d and the yogurt-loving detective on \u201cBrooklyn Nine-Nine\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Crews\u2019s career and life have become more than just acting. He turned to being an activist as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sociology Lecturer Billy Ullibarri asks Crews about what motivated him to speak out as a high-profile man in support of the #MeToo movement of 2017.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cI remember when it was happening, when all these women were coming out against Harvey Weinstein and others and all I could think about was when it happened to me,\u201d Crews says. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Crews says he didn\u2019t realize at the time how many other men would also share a connection with him after he tweeted about being a victim of sexual harassment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also adds that he saw a similar situation between himself and the #MeToo movement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIt was a thing where this guy was a very powerful Hollywood exec and that was the deal,&#8221; Crews recalls. &#8220;He felt he could do whatever he wanted. And I just thought about \u2018look at all the women, over centuries that have been through this.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Crews says he thanks the women who came forward because it was their courage that allowed him to share his story. Ullibarri asks Crews how students can pick and choose their battles just as he has done throughout his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIf you buy into it, if it\u2019s me vs. you&#8230;but i decided to not compete.,&#8221; Crews says. &#8220;And by not competing, I became my own person, my own thing. One thing, the battle I choose to fight, are about humanity, about other people.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Ulibarri closes by asking Crews what he believes is a good skill set for students to have as they transition in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crews says he has an acronym for that. He calls it AC\/DC: Adaptability, Creativity, Decision and Commitment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThat\u2019s the best way I say to remember it and that\u2019s where you get your power,\u201d Crews says. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Director of Student Activities Cindy Mata-Vasquez says to keep an eye out for an announcement in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/utrgvradio.com\/index.php\/author\/justin-elizalde\/\">Justin Elizalde<\/a><\/strong> contributed to this report. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UTRGV campus community spent Monday evening with Actor, Activist and Former Athlete Terry Crews as a headliner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":3658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-radio"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
