If you could have something named after you, what would it be?
Being that I’m a theatre artist, I think it would be cool to have a Marcus Caesar Theatre either on a college campus or just in my hometown.
The college thing at least with my Alma mater probably wouldn’t happen based on I went to a commuter campus and it was a business school and I didn’t take theatre there. I guess I’d have to donate a lot of money to another school to get that name on the building.
I mean if NYC or hell any big city honored me with that I’d be good. I think it goes with donations or having a big enough impact.
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Honestly and truthfully…
A fashion model lol
Growing up with sisters who were into fashion always intrigued me. Looked at their magazines.
Whew! A baby queer if you will.
It wasn’t about money or sustainability, they looked fabulous and looked like they were having fun. My naive self also thought they kept all the clothes.
I am Marcus Caesar and this is one of my inner child confessions.
Okay, hear me out. What if your favorite sports hero is gay or bi. What exactly would change for you heterosexual manly man?
Not a damn thing!
The world is big and vast and some of your heroes may like their dick and ass big and vast but I digress.
They don’t owe you nothing!
…but how about just taking them as they are? Extremely talented athletes who are doing what they love. Not for you and not for me, but because the feeling of doing it trumps all.
Did I tell you when I was going to save the Fox network with my soap opera concept?Back in the 90s I wanted to write the next great American daytime soap opera to save the Fox network! Did the network need saving? Maybe or maybe not.
I would pull actors from the nighttime soaps and I would take the most popular characters that were written off the other soaps and invite them on my show. The show would feature storylines that focus on minorities and their lives.
See ABC, NBC and CBS had daytime dramas. Why not FOX?! I had a notebook full of storyline possibilities. I subscribed to the Soap Opera Magazines to know who was leaving their shows . To know what storylines were coming and ending. How could I improve upon what already had been done?
Then the 00’s hit and the networks started canceling the soaps one by one for talk shows and cooking shows and more news. I tossed my notebook to the side. There wouldn’t be anyone buying a daytime soap or even a nighttime soap if it didn’t include supernatural elements.
Today there are only 4 left. 1 on ABC, 1 on NBC and 2 on CBS. Not great, but what is good is that streaming channels have increased with channels all over the place who need content.
Shall I search for my notebooks from years ago and retool my concept? I have much knowledge that I didn’t have before . Is this my time to shine…..
