Lia Chang: 10 minutes with Sullivan & Son’s Jodi Long, Award Winning Actor and Filmmaker

Jodi Long can currently be seen on Steve Byrne & Rob Long’s “Sullivan & Son”, a new sitcom on TBS, in which she portrays Ok Cha, the Korean mother of Steve Sullivan (Byrne), a successful corporate attorney from New York who brings his girlfriend home for his father’s 60th birthday and learns his parents are preparing to sell the multi-generational family business, a bar known as Sullivan & Son.

It doesn’t take Steve long to realize that where he really belongs is in the old neighborhood and running Sullivan & Son. And so begins Steve’s quest for a more meaningful and rewarding life behind the bar.

Long is based in L.A., but I caught up with the award winning actor and filmmaker in the Filmmaker’s Lounge at the 35th Asian American International Film Festival, held at Clearview Chelsea Cinemas in New York in early August. Fresh from wrapping her season of shooting on Sullivan & Son, Long was giddy with excitement to talk about the show, her castmates and her new projects in the works.

Lia: What are you doing in New York?
Jodi: We just wrapped “Sullivan & Son” a couple weeks ago and I came into town to do a little movie in Pennsylvania that J.P. Chan has directed, called A Picture of You. It is about a brother and sister who go to close up their mom’s house after she’s passed away. That’s the other reason I’m here, my stepmother passed away right before I started “Sullivan & Son” and I’ve come back to close up her apartment that she lived in with my dad.

Lia: Who do you play on Sullivan & Son?
Jodi: I play Steve Byrne’s mom. Steve Byrne is comedian who wrote it with Rob Long, who comes from Cheers, and it’s executive produced by Vince Vaughn. We have amazing executive producers and writers and we all just laugh a lot. It’s like the best job. We go in and because Steve is half Korean and half Irish, I play his mom. Dan Lauria who was in Lombardi on Broadway, plays my husband, Steve’s father. Christine Ebersole who won a Tony for Grey Gardens plays one of the bar regulars, and Brian Doyle-Murray is in it too. The show takes place in a working class bar. So we have these four old theater actors on one side, and then we have Steve with three of his good friends who are comedians, who play his friends on the show. So you’ll go in and someone will be wearing a green dress, so they’ll do five minutes, each of them on that green dress. It’s hysterical. We make each other laugh all day long, and then we go and make an audience laugh, because it is a sitcom, we do two shows.

Lia: When was the last time you did a sitcom?
Jodi: The last time I did a sitcom was “All-American Girl”, where I played Margaret Cho’s mother. It was 17 years ago, and I’m still playing a Korean mother.

Lia: How did you meet J.P. Chan, the director of A Picture of You.
Jodi: I did not know J.P. before working on the film. Jo Mei brought my name up and my people were contacted. I asked to read the script. Thank God I have television money right now, because I can afford to do these indies. The script, I really liked, because what happens is, as they are going through their mom’s things, they find some compromising things about their mother. It throws them into a dither about who their mother really is. It’s very funny. I also just did another series, shot in New Jersey.

Last Monday, I joined “House of Payne”‘s Denise Burse at The 52nd Street Project’s He Started It! 30th Anniversary Benefit celebrating Willie Reale, the founder of The Project, at Espace in New York. Burse who plays Claretha on Tyler Perry’s “House of Payne,” is featured in the latest episode “Talented Paynes.”

Willie Reale, is an actor, playwright and 1994 MacArthur Fellow, who recently received his third Daytime Emmy nomination as part of the producing team of “The Electric Company.” He is an Academy Award nominee for Best Original Song (with Henry Krieger) for “Patience” from Dreamgirls, a two-time Tony nominee for A Year with Frog and Toad (Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score with brother Robert Reale), a two-time Writers Guild of America nominee for “Damages” and “Out There” (with Mark Palmer). He won a 2010 Daytime Emmy as part of the producing team for “The Electric Company,” and was also nominated for Outstanding Writing in a Children’s Series for “The Electric Company,” that same year.

In 1981, Reale, started the project in response to a deepening need to improve the quality of life for New York’s inner-city children. As a company member of the Ensemble Studio Theater (EST), Reale used his company privileges to reach out to the children of the neighborhood by creating theatrical endeavors specifically for them.

For almost two decades, Burse and her husband actor Peter Jay Fernandez have been among the countless professional theater artists who have volunteered their time and talent, being matched up with kids in a series of unique mentoring programs for The 52nd Street Project. The Project’s mission is dedicated to the creation and production of new plays for and by kids between the ages of nine and eighteen that reside in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood in New York City. This was done with the cooperation and support of EST and its across-the-street-neighbor, the Police Athletic League’s Duncan Center. The Project is now an independent not-for-profit organization that creates over eighty new plays and serves over 115 children every year.

The evening was hosted by Lewis Black, with special remarks by Frances McDormand and Jose Soto. The entertainment featured songs with lyrics written by Project kids Nicolas Carrero, Edelys Tiana Guerrero, Genesis Hires, Haley Zoe Martinez and Malik Velazquez, set to music and performed by Lisa Benavides, Bela Fleck, Christopher Fitzgerald,Tim Blake Nelson, Duncan Sheik and Abigail Washburn. Adult composers included J. Michael Friedman, Henry Krieger, Rob Reale, Duncan Sheik and Abigail Washburn and Bela Fleck.

Lia Chang: House of Payne’s Denise Burse chats up the 2011 NAACP Image Awards and Season 7, Watch Video of “Shout Out” Episode

Photo by Lia Chang

Since 2006, Denise Burse has been serving up sass and displaying an outrageous flair for fashion as Claretha Jenkins, Ella Payne’s best friend on Tyler Perry’s award-winning TV show House of Payne, which began airing new episodes on March 30th.

Fresh from the Atlanta set of House of Payne, the award-winning actress was a vision in a cream colored tuxedo when we attended a concert performance by Marva Hicks in Pat Holley’s Me and Caesar Lee at the Triad Theatre in New York earlier this month.

(l-r) Lia Chang, Peter Jay Fernandez, Denise Burse and Marva Hicks after the concert presentation of Pat Holley's Me and Caesar Lee at The Triad Theatre in New York on April 3, 2011.

Burse hinted at big developments in Season 7 for Claretha and talked about the festivities of the 2011 NAACP Image Awards in L.A.

“It’s been really hair raising,” said Burse. “I can’t give too much away until they start the new season. She’s in a very interesting storyline. I can only urge you to tune in because many eyebrows will be raised.”

Click here to watch “Payneful Visit,” the episode where Claretha reveals she has leukemia.

About Claretha, Burse shared, “She’s funny, she’s sassy, very sensitive. She is a woman who likes being in love, and has been hurt many times as a result. She has a great big heart. She loves her friends deeply and loyally. She has a sense of flair. I wear outrageous gear and change my hair to fit my outfit. From head to toe. She is always dolled up.”

In March, Tyler Perry and House of Payne won a host of awards at the 2011 NAACP Image Awards, including the 2011 NAACP Award for Outstanding Comedy Series. The Image Awards, first presented in 1967, were launched by the NAACP to celebrate “outstanding achievements by people of color in film, television, music and literature, as well as individuals or groups who promote social justice.”

It was a first for Ms. Burse at the NAACP Images Awards which were held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, to share the glory with her castmates and good friend Samuel L. Jackson, with whom she walked the red carpet. Click here for photo coverage.

“I stayed at my friend LaTayna Richardson Jackson’s and Samuel L. Jackson’s house. I walked the red carpet with Sam, said Burse. “We were going to the same event. He was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor for “Mother and Child” (Sony Pictures Classics). He won. We walked the red carpet together and were photographed-which was a delight. It was a delight to be there with him. We’ve been friends for many, many years. He has always has been very supportive and encouraging. I was just glad to be able to celebrate him as well.”

“House of Payne was nominated again this year for several NAACP Awards, and we won again this year for Outstanding Comedy in a Series,” said Burse. I didn’t know the show won until the day of the actual event. We had a strong sense that we might win. It was nice because a lot of the cast was nominated and my castmembers were there. It was great to be able to rally and support and enjoy each other.”

After the awards ceremony, Burse headed off to Tyler Perry’s First Annual “Rise Above” Celebration held at Boulevard3 in Hollywood. “The party was really fun because I got to see Mary J. Blige, who was named Outstanding Female Artist, perform,” said Burse. “She was off the charts!”

Watch Ms. Burse as Claretha in “Shout Out,” the new episode of House of Payne.
