These are the kinds of friendships that make life so much richer. When people ask #whybe1, I point them to stories of camaraderie and ties that defy explanation just like this one.
The great writer/comedian Mitch Marchand too!

Yes, we’re all interconnected. The strength and success we find in unity make everything even more meaningful.
What fascinates me the most about their story is that you never know where your destiny will lead to. Both of them became very successful actors and it took hard work and dedication which allowed them to shift the trajectory of not only their lives but others. Inspiring!
Thanks for sharing. I strongly believe in everlasting friendship. True and everlasting friendship is very hard to find. This story reminds me of my friendship with my best friend of 46 years. Upon meeting her, I didn’t like her. It was nothing she did, it was me. I reached out to her 2 months later, and the rest is history. Growing up in Belize, mama, my beloved grandmother would always say to me, darling, Good Friend is Better Than Pocket Money.
Shame Pac was murdered. ‘Juice’ one of those legendary, generation defining films. What could’ve been.
