The incredible story behind the Jordan 4 'Craft' (Better known as Jordan 4 'Potters
Wheel')
(5/6)
"I played Willie Lopez, a punk-ass crook who was tasked with whacking "Sam Wheat" in the movie "Ghost." At first, I was hyped to be a part of such a fly film, but then I realized that I was supposed to take out Mike. And that was a mortal sin for me, man!
Now, I ain't gonna lie, I was in awe of Mike, the dude was a boss. He was always cool, and we talked a lot of shit on set. But the thought of having to off him in the film was heavy.
As we filmed the scenes leading up to his death, I could see the weight of it on Mike's shoulders. He was all in, and it was clear that it was taking an emotional toll on him. I couldn't help but feel guilty for my part in his character's death.
In the end, it was just a movie, and Mike was a pro, but it was hard for me to shake off the feeling that I was responsible for hurting someone I had come to respect and admire. I knew that it was all just acting, but it was a reminder that sometimes the line between fiction and reality can be blurry.
At least dude found some peace at that potters wheel."
