[Roth] We came from very,
very different worlds. But a big part of your time
as an actor is doing nothing. And we find ourselves
sitting, having a beer, waiting for the sun to go down,
and he would talk to me a lot about things that he'd done,
things that he regretted, his time in prison, his mom.
He was a very sensitive guy. But that wasn't stuff that you
could, at that point certainly, put in the public's eye. I mean, he was huge. And it was the first film where I actually
had to have security. Rival groups would come down
to the location calling at him because of the East Coast/
West Coast thing. [Tupac] That's what's
frustrating and aggravating, that I can't live down
this big shadow that I made to protect myself 'cause it started out
as I need an alter ego to keep people away from me
and to protect myself. And not that it's like
a total facade. It's me,
but it's just... - [lighter clicks]

[Roth] We came from very, very different worlds.
00:00:04.811 --> 00:00:07.691
But a big part of your time as an actor is doing nothing.
00:00:07.694 --> 00:00:09.585
And we find ourselves sitting, having a beer,
00:00:09.582 --> 00:00:11.867
waiting for the sun to go down, and he would talk to me a lot
00:00:11.869 --> 00:00:14.518
about things that he'd done, things that he regretted,
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:18.129
his time in prison, his mom. He was a very sensitive guy.
00:00:18.132 --> 00:00:21.146
But that wasn't stuff that you could, at that point certainly,
00:00:21.147 --> 00:00:22.443
put in the public's eye.
00:00:22.439 --> 00:00:24.225
I mean, he was huge.
00:00:24.229 --> 00:00:26.446
And it was the first film
00:00:26.448 --> 00:00:28.378
where I actually had to have security.
00:00:28.037 --> 00:00:32.143
Rival groups would come down to the location calling at him
00:00:32.148 --> 00:00:34.538
because of the East Coast/ West Coast thing.
00:00:34.534 --> 00:00:36.848
[Tupac] That's what's frustrating and aggravating,
00:00:36.854 --> 00:00:38.015
that I can't live down this big shadow
00:00:38.146 --> 00:00:39.903
that I made to protect myself
00:00:39.902 --> 00:00:41.822
'cause it started out as I need an alter ego
00:00:41.824 --> 00:00:43.744
to keep people away from me and to protect myself.
00:00:43.746 --> 00:00:46.003
And not that it's like a total facade.
00:00:46.003 --> 00:00:47.823
It's me, but it's just...
