\n\tIn the eighth and final season of Lena Waithe\u2019s long-running drama, \u201cThe Chi,\u201d legendary actress Lela Rochon steps onto the scene. The \u201cWaiting to Exhale\u201d alum first appears in Episode 6, \u201cWhen Truth Thaws,\u201d as Vivian, a luxury wedding planner who is hired to orchestrate Emmett (Jacob Latimore) and Keisha\u2019s (Birgundi Baker) forthcoming nuptials. Though Vivian is eager to plan a lavish event, she quickly realizes that the couple\u2019s ideas for their big day couldn\u2019t be further apart. Moreover, Emmett\u2019s ex-wife Tiffany\u2019s (Hannaha Hall) emotional and financial involvement complicates matters.<\/p>\n

\n\tAn avid viewer of \u201cThe Chi\u201d since it first debuted back in 2018, Rochon was thrilled to step into this bustling Chicago ecosystem and put her own touch on a character who will play a pivotal role as this fan-favorite story comes to an end. As the series comes to a close, Rochon talks to Variety<\/em> about working on \u201cThe Chi,\u201d some of her favorite movie memories, and why she\u2019s continually pushing for underrepresented and unseen stories.<\/p>\n

\nThese days, it\u2019s so rare for a series to continue for as long as \u201cThe Chi\u201d has. What was it like to step on the set of the final season?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tIt just felt easy. It felt comfortable. I had been such a fan of the show and had told Lena [Waithe] I had seen every episode, which I could not believe. I started watching [\u201cThe Chi\u201d] with my kids when they were in middle school. The fact that it\u2019s been on for eight seasons is wonderful and bittersweet. So, finally doing the show was just a treat for me. It was just something I didn\u2019t even really think about.<\/p>\n

\nWhat intrigued you most about portraying Vivian? Obviously, the dynamic between Emmett, Keisha, and Tiffany looks like it\u2019s going to get messy very quickly.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tIt was really fun for me. In the 1990s I had an idea for a movie about a wedding planner, and then the next thing I knew, Jennifer Lopez did one. So I was a hair too late. So it was really exciting not knowing what Lena had in mind for me because she had told me, \u201cOh, I\u2019m writing you into the show.\u201d I had my hopes up for some big, juicy gangster lady, and [Vivian] wasn\u2019t that. I was a little shocked, like, \u201cOh, a wedding planner.\u201d They were like, \u201cYeah, we want you really playing, really simple.\u201d I was like, \u201cMm-mm.\u201d My wedding planner was not that. She was fabulous, and she still is fabulous. We are still friends to this day. She is unique and special. So it was fun for me because I had an idea of who I thought [Vivian] would be.<\/p>\n

\nEmmett and Tiffany are lying to Keisha about what really happened to Nuck (Cortez Smith), which will cause major turmoil when she finds out. Do you think this wedding is actually going to happen?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI can\u2019t say.<\/p>\n

\nWhat was it like to work with these young actors who have been with the show since the very beginning?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tYou know what? It was interesting because I think they might\u2019ve been a little more shy about talking to me than I was about talking to them. So, for me, seeing them as young, fresh faces on this show made me curious about everybody. Who are you? Where are you from? How did you end up in Chicago? Are you from Chicago? Are you going to stay here after this show? I had many questions because it\u2019s always interesting to see how things are done now compared to when I was that age. It\u2019s very, very different. The fact that none of them have to live in Los Angeles anymore, that everything is by tape, Zoom and these other things. So I almost felt sad for them that they weren\u2019t coming to Hollywood; they didn\u2019t want to. Hollywood\u2019s too expensive. All those things made me a little sad because if you can thrive here and do well here, it\u2019s a beautiful thing. But if you can live in peace somewhere else and you\u2019re happy and that\u2019s your thing, it\u2019s wonderful. It\u2019s a hybrid of being an actor these days. It\u2019s just something new to me.<\/p>\n

\nHow did you feel about filming in Chicago? It\u2019s very different from L.A. or even Atlanta.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tFilming in Chicago was a first for me. I\u2019d only flown into Chicago to do \u201cThe Oprah Winfrey Show\u201d\u00a0 or local press. When we pulled in, I\u2019m like, \u201cOh, it\u2019s a whole studio here.\u201d It\u2019s a whole thing happening in Chicago, and that intrigued me about the show, since I wasn\u2019t that familiar with the city. So to be on \u201cThe Chi\u201d and see the life in the Chi, I just really wanted to breathe it and live it.<\/p>\n

\nAs an icon in this industry, you\u2019ve worked with a plethora of incredible directors from Eddie Murphy to Oliver Stone and, more recently, with Issa Rae and now Lena Waithe. What is it like working now with these young Black women, in particular, who specifically write roles for you?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI\u2019m flattered by that. To be perfectly honest with you, I have a passion and desire to direct myself. I was heartbroken that Lena\u2019s director\u2019s program happened and I didn\u2019t know about it, because I would\u2019ve loved to do an episode. It\u2019s itching and crawling inside me because there\u2019s just too much knowledge there. A lot of times when directors are talking, and actors are struggling, I\u2019m thinking all kinds of things in my head. I\u2019m a bit old-school: you have to know your place and let the director direct. Even though you want to say, \u201cNo, we need to go here to get there, but okay, I\u2019ll wait till you get to it.\u201d I had two young female directors, and it was interesting to see their different processes.<\/p>\n

\nIn addition to your directing aspirations, you\u2019ve also been putting on your executive producer hat recently with Lifetime\u2019s true crime movie, \u201cThe Dating App Killer: The Monica White Story,\u201d which you also starred in. What inspired you to do more than act on this specific project?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tYou know what? I have to do more than act. Just wanting more power and more creative say.\u00a0 I think that\u2019s one thing that made me take a time-out from the industry to raise my children, because you can only do one thing creatively for so long. I remember I\u2019d had my daughter, and I went into a movie, and I was in the trailer, picking swatches and chairs, decorating my house and doing a million other things because I was bored, and every role\u2019s not going to be juicy and chompy and exciting. What they will give Nicole Kidman, they won\u2019t always offer to me. So I have to stay creative. Now when someone offers me a role I\u2019ll say, \u201cOK, I\u2019ll do it, but I would also like to be an executive producer.\u201d I would love to do more stories and develop more stories for women, particularly women of color, because there\u2019s such a shortage of those stories, but they\u2019re also the hardest to sell. But that\u2019s really where my passion lies right now.<\/p>\n

\nWhen you are offered roles now, how do you decide which ones you want to take on?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI\u2019ve always had integrity and been picky. Even when I was broke, I was picky because I had a family and people I felt I represented, and I never wanted to embarrass myself or do anything degrading or that I didn\u2019t feel good about. I have to feel good in the role, and I do have a good sense of humor. So some things are funny to me, and I can be the brunt of a joke, and it\u2019s OK, but it has to excite me, have integrity and be challenging.<\/p>\n

\nNostalgia is also really big in Hollywood right now. We see it with Netflix\u2019s upcoming \u201cA Different World\u201d reboot and so many other sequels and prequels. How do you feel about the industry revitalizing stories that already have massive built-in audiences?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI\u2019m very happy that people are nostalgic because social media is keeping many careers alive. In the past, when people weren\u2019t working, you never saw them again. Now when people aren\u2019t working, you still see them, you still miss them. There\u2019s a lot of throwbacks and flashbacks, and there\u2019s a craving for them. That\u2019s a beautiful thing, particularly for actors that have been around a long time because you only get better with time. Your talent doesn\u2019t get worse. It doesn\u2019t go anywhere. So there\u2019s that. But then there\u2019s also this very Trumpy administration, and there have been a lot of people of color taken off TV, a lot of shows taken off TV, and it makes you sad because we had come so far and done so much.<\/p>\n

\nHaving been in this industry for four decades on a plethora of projects, what is one of your favorite memories?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI have so many great memories. I did a movie, \u201cThe Chamber,\u201d based on a John Grisham novel, with Gene Hackman, who passed away last year. I recently saw this picture of us just laughing hysterically, and I thought, \u201cWow, that\u2019s really iconic.\u201d That\u2019s a moment. Working with Al Pacino [in \u201cAny Given Sunday\u201d], that\u2019s a moment. Jamie Foxx, myself, Al Pacino and Oliver Stone in a rehearsal room together in a house all day practicing and running lines \u2014 that\u2019s a moment.<\/p>\n

\nAs the industry continues to shift and change while we\u2019re dealing with this administration that\u2019s not trying to see Black people or people of color in general in any type of representational roles, what are you hoping to see?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI\u2019m hoping to see more sophisticated people of color on television. \u201cWhite Lotus,\u201d hello. We go on vacation too. Where they\u2019re shooting in the South of France this season, I\u2019ve been there, I\u2019ve stayed there. We\u2019re here too. Write us in, write us into the show. All these wonderful Apple TV shows like Jon Hamm\u2019s \u201cYour Friends & Neighbors,\u201d we need a Black family. There are so many things that I\u2019m not seeing. What I\u2019m not seeing is the sophistication of where we are in America and where people of color are. We\u2019re not thought about. We\u2019re often forgotten, and it\u2019s hard not to be forgotten.<\/p>\n

\nAside from directing, is there anything else you have on your plate that you\u2019re really excited about or a story that you\u2019re hoping to get off the ground?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI\u2019ve been trying to get my story \u201cPassing Love\u201d off the ground for a while. It\u2019s about a woman who travels to Paris to find her birth mother. I\u2019m hoping to get that done, as well as a comedy I wrote with a writing partner called \u201cManhunt,\u201d about three sophisticated women living in New York City. They\u2019re all over the place, but they\u2019re on a hunt for love, and there\u2019s a lot of humor and comedy in that. I\u2019m constantly trying to get things made for women. It\u2019s just where my passion lies. Getting executives to want to do a story where the women are leads, that\u2019s the hardest thing. One: for the women to be leads; two: for the women of color to be leads. But there\u2019s a lane for it, and there\u2019s a huge audience for it. We are the biggest moviegoing, book-buying, merch audience there is, and people are sleeping on it.<\/p>\n
