David McKnight credited as playing...
Uncle Ray
- Uncle Ray: You could be the greatest actor ever born. Doin' Shakespeare on the stage, playin' the hero in some movie, maybe the first - black superman. One day, win that Oscar. You gotta believe in yourself, Bobby. Don't play yourself cheap. Don't let anybody take away your dream.
- Bobby Taylor: What if I don't make it?
- Uncle Ray: What if you *do* make it. And what if you *are* that good. Bobby, you'll never know until you try. You got to give it your all, Bobby. You got to give it everything you've got. I know. Cause it happened to me. I stopped believin' in me. I started listenin' to all those other people tell me what I couldn't do. I kept listenin' - and listenin'. Until one day, I started believin' it and I quit. Lost my chops. Man, when I was singin' - I was the happiest man alive. On stage, doin' it!
- Uncle Ray: You got to do it while your young, Bobby. Cause if you don't, times got a way of creepin' up on you. Kickin' you in your ass.
