WWFinHS239 - Hank Jones (2002)

We Weren't Friends In High School

From Ambler to Hollywood, Hank packed up his car and moved across the country to pursue his passion in screenwriting. He talks about the grind to get his foot in the door, overcoming disappointment, and landing his dream-job of working on Peacock’s “Bel-Air.”

Plus, Hank talks about his struggle to bond with a black community growing up, the racism that pushed him away from his Middle School friends, and how his outlook changed when his cousin Dave joined him in High School.

Hank takes us behind-the-scenes as we discuss his career on projects such as “Blackish,” “The New Edition Story,” and his start on BET’s “The Game.”

Don’t forget to watch “Bel-Air” Sunday February 13 on Peacock!
