When I first met Cino, I had the same thought as everyone else on set: What is this man on?
We were working on a series together, and he was acting so wild I thought it was real. Turns out, the man was just deep in character, holding frame purely to see who would blink first. I called him crazy, we laughed, and we’ve been rocking in ever since.
That same night, he drove me across town, and we got to talking. He told me about a comedy project he was cooking up called A Night At My Cousins House. He talked over the synopsis, asked if I rocked with comedies, and wanted to know if I'd take a small role. It was an immediate yes.
My character shifted a few times before we finally landed on "OG" (or OG One8). Next thing I knew, I was shooting a dominoes scene with two YGs and another OG actor, cookout style. It was pure comedy.
The energy on that set was a masterclass in balancing professional execution with genuine vibe. It felt less like a stiff production and more like a backyard family kickback. But don't get it twisted—when it was time to roll, everyone was locked in. The ad-libs were coming fast, sharp, and relentless, heavily fueled by the fact that some the cast are actual comedians. You felt that elite atmosphere the second you stepped on set.
It instantly takes you back. We all have that one legendary night spent at a cousin’s house. The wild shit that went down, the things you got away with, and the secrets you still keep. It’s the kind of memories that stays locked in.
So, what really went down at your cousin's house? Come on, you’re grown now. Spill it in the comments.
