J.B. Smoove's career as a comedy actor has risen greatly over the years since his appearance in "Pootie Tang," with Chris Rock. He went on to write for Saturday Night Live, and landed the role of Leon Black on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm.
J.B. recently sat down with The Huffington Post to discuss his role on NBC's new comedy series "Bent".
"I've been looking to jump on a few shows, and 'Bent' is one of those shows where I can come in and do what I do. It's not my show, but it is pieces of the puzzle that I'm trying to accomplish. I've been really, really blessed to get into some cool places. I think what generally happens is that you do one thing that leads to something else. I think that 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' has kind of given me that leeway to jump in and do something different all the time. They don't expect me to do what I did on 'Curb,' but they expect me to come in and be J.B. as opposed to coming in there and doing Leon."
