he starred in the BET 2018 miniseries “The Bobby Brown Story,” fans regularly address him as the “Every Little Step” singer.That made the actor bristle until the great Jamie Foxx (who I’m praying for) gave him some advice.

Woody recalled that Jamie said to him, “I come from ‘In Living Color.’ So my first role was Wanda … You got to embrace it in order to move on … You got to take it.”“I felt like that was a great conversation for me to have,” Woody told me on this week’s “Renaissance Man.” “I’ve been trying to figure out how to cope with people not calling me by my name. … It’s been helpful, though.”Getting called Bobby is really a credit to Woody’s incredible portrayal of the singer.“When I first met Bobby, he walked in, he was like, ‘Hell, yeah.

He got the bow legs.’ He’s like, ‘You got to get the gap,'” said Woody, who wore a mouthpiece to mimic the singer’s famous tooth gap.“Bobby was so cool to work with, man.

If anybody has ever met Bobby Brown, you know how down-to-earth he is. He’s so full of love. You feel the energy, man,” Woody said.Everyone in showbiz is feeling Woody’s energy these days.
