HiT Episode No. 31 – D.B. Sweeney
Actor D.B. Sweeney doesn’t mind playing the “evil white guy” in Spike Lee movies.
He’s done it twice already, he jokes, and he remains on good terms with the “She’s Gotta Have It” director.
In fact, Sweeney has plenty of famous friends, from Chicago’s own John Cusack to Cuba Gooding, Jr. That’s what happens when you work for three decades in the film industry without letting fame get to your head.
Sweeney opened up about his big break in the business, how Wayne Gretzky did his directorial debut a huge favor and why he mourns the decline of the movie business in the latest HiT ‘cast.
