Arrington Foster, Who Plays Rio Duncan in "The Family Business" on BET, BET Plus, and Netflix, Discusses His Career, Past, Present, and Future.   

Interview by: Gina Sedman 

Actor Arrington Foster possesses an exceptional combination of grace, politeness, kindness, and humor, making him an individual of remarkable talent! Arrington's profound passion for the theater eventually became the pivotal force that unlocked a significant opportunity, propelling him toward his rise to stardom.  

While in High School, Arrington enthusiastically participated in musicals such as "The Wiz" and "Annie."     

After finishing high school, he attended Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX. During his college experience, his passion for theatre grew and flourished. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to honing his skills and successfully obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and a minor in Communication Studies. 

In college, he participated in musicals such as "A Chorus Line" and "Oklahoma!" He continued to perform in community theater productions after college, including musicals, "Footloose" and "Comedy of Errors." 

Arrington made a courageous decision in 2015 to move to Los Angeles, CA, to pursue his aspirations in film and television acting. He fully immersed himself in the industry without delay, embracing diverse opportunities such as commercials, short films, student projects, and web series. However, it was in 2018 that Arrington's talent and dedication paid off when he secured the role of Rio Duncan in the highly acclaimed BET series Carl Weber's "The Family Business."  

Arrington Foster's future in Hollywood shines brightly, and he is determined to make the most of every moment. I had the opportunity to catch up with this busy Hollywood gem and ask him a few questions about his journey as an actor. Here's what he shared. 

Hi Arrington, how are you? I'm good. How are you? 

I'm wonderful. Thank you so much for asking. It’s a pleasure to meet you today. It's a pleasure to meet you, Gina. 

Thank you. Miriam spoke well of you. She said you were sweet. It's a pleasure to talk with you today because I'm a big fan of kind people. Thank you, Gina. Same here.  

I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your time. I know you're incredibly busy, so I appreciate your taking the time to chat with me and contribute to our indie post. Your career is impressive, and I'm excited to share your story with our readers. Absolutely. I'm so excited. Thank you for having me. 

Arrington, tell me something God has done for you recently. God has blessed me with so much. The fact that our show that's been on the air on BET for Four Seasons is now on Netflix is huge! It's so crazy that you asked because I posted yesterday in the caption that I remember when I was a kid, and we had Blockbuster, but then Netflix became a thing. Do you recall when there were only DVDs that had to be mailed to your house?  

Yes. I remember that. Hilarious! Yes, and I remember we (my family) always had DVDs mailed to the house, and I loved Netflix! I remember thinking to myself, one day, I would love to be on Netflix, and here we are almost a decade later, and I'm on Netflix. My face is on there when you scroll, so that's a dream come true for me. So, God has been good! 

God is indeed good, Arrington! There is not enough time for me to share everything that God has done for me, but I am sure we can both agree that He is faithful and unrelenting in His love for us. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony with me. May I ask, where are you from and where are you located right now? I'm originally from Maryland PG County DMV East Coast. Currently, I live in Atlanta, but right now. I relocated to Atlanta about eight months ago.   

At the moment, I'm in Los Angeles because we're filming season 5 of "The Family Business." I lived in Los Angeles for about eight years, and now I'm back living on the East Coast; LA "can't seem to not have me," so LA's home, too. (laughs) 

Ha! I love it! I love your sense of humor Arrington! Thats funny! Now, Arrington, I have a question for you. I love to wake up early in the morning, pray, and read the Bible. However, I tend to hit snooze several times before actually getting out of bed. So, I'm wondering, what time do you set your alarm clock in the morning, and when do you actually get up? (laughs) 

Oh my gosh! That depends on the day. For those who don't know, I'm a night owl, but I always say I'm the king of alarms because I will set alarms! So, I'm the same. I usually set a few alarms just in case I hit the snooze button on one of them. 

That's hilarious! I am not shy to say that I recently turned 33, but I don't look like it because, as you know, "black don't crack." (laughs)   

I know that's right! You better testify! Yes, but I told myself that this time around, I want to start getting up a bit earlier. So, it's funny that you mentioned that because I do that, too.  

When I wake up, I try not to look at my phone. Instead, I pray, meditate, and stretch because these bones are starting to crack. (laughs) 

Ha! I can definitely relate to that! Before looking at social media, my phone, and emails, I prioritize stretching and preparing my mind for the day. 

Right now, I get up around 9 or 10 am but it depends on when I'm needed on set. But if it's not an early call, then I'll try to sleep in a little bit. 

Trust me, I know what you are talking about. I just turned 51 in October, so I'm a witness! (laughs) No! Stop it! You can't be 51! You're lying!  

Ha, ha! No, I lie not to you. The song of my heart is a song I love so much by Cee Cee Winans, "Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God!" Because it's only by His goodness, grace, and mercy that I am even here on planet Earth all these years. I've been here a little over half of a century, and my ticker is still ticking! (laughs) Oh, nice! Well, listen black don't crack. You're doing your thing!   

Arrington, thank you. That's so kind of you. Now, I love candles. My preferred candle brand is Yankee Candles because they have fragrances that last for a long time. If you were to get a Yankee Candle, which scent would you choose? Your options are Pink Sand, Sun and Sand, Beach Walk, Flower in the Sun, Lilac Blossoms, Midnight Jasmine, and White Gardenia. Okay, if I had to choose between two scents, I'd pick "Vanilla/Lavender or Beach Walk." "Beach Walk" sounds great because it reminds me of my happy place - I love the beach and the water. On the other hand, vanilla and lavender always make me think of my mom because she loves those scents. So, those are the two scents I would choose. 

Have you ever tried making candles? Then, you can add another qualification to your resume. Arrington Foster, the great mixologist. (Laughs) I haven't, but it sounds like a fun idea. Look, candles and Arrington, Foster, we can do that! I'm open to it. (laughs)  

Arrington, not only are you a gifted actor, but you were also involved in different choirs during your younger years. Yes, I did, you got the scoop! You got some tea! (laughs)  

Yes, I did; I'm a journalist, and that's what we do. We get the scoop! (laughs) Could you tell me about that experience? Yes, I did when I was very little.  

Did you sing soprano, alto, tenor, or bass? Well, back then, and before my voice dropped, I would say I was a tenor. I did a lot of musicals growing up, too, so I would always sing tenor. But now, I would say in the range of tenor and baritone.  

Can you tell me about your younger experience performing musically in a choir? Yes, I performed at the Kennedy Center in DC when I was ten. I remember there was a quartet of boys, and I was very shy. Most people wouldn't imagine I was shy as a child, but I was. In fact, I was very shy.     

Before that, I would always sing in my bedroom and close the door so no one could hear me. However, I did not sing much in choirs, but I remember doing The Kennedy Center.    

My music teacher was actually the reason I got into acting. She told me one day, "You should do this play," I was like, OK, because I always liked to perform around the living room when I was 3, so I thought it would be good for me.    

I recall my time in high school as a member of the choir singers. We had to wear these dresses that looked quite funny, and I didn't like them. All I wanted to do was sing, but I was not too fond of the dresses they chose for us to wear. Did your choir require you to wear any unfashionable robes or outfits? We didn't have to wear anything like that. Because it wasn't a church choir, we weren't required to wear robes or any special type of garments. Even though I am a preacher's kid. (laughs) 

Really? Me too. Yes, my mom is a preacher, so I was that kid who didn't want the attention.  

I do understand. (laughs) Now, I've noticed many actors who star in television series and films also release music albums. Is this something you've ever wanted to pursue, Arrington? You know, I never thought that I would become a musician. However, I want to use all the talents that God has given me. During my childhood, I used to sing frequently in musicals. I always dreamed of showcasing all my talents on a grander scale; for instance, if "Glee" or "Empire" returned, I would participate in a heartbeat. But do you know what? Here is one thing that people are not aware of about me. I love karaoke. It is one of my favorite things to do. Whenever I do karaoke, I feel like I am living out my musician fantasy.   

People tell me I can sing, but that's not what it's all about. Whether you're good or not, singing karaoke is always a fun experience. That's what matters the most: having fun. However, I'm open to the possibility of recording an album one day. Who knows? Maybe I'll be able to achieve that EGOT and win a Grammy. 

One thing I do know is that when we are walking in God's will for our lives, He will open doors for us. I always say, "His will be done in all things." But, at the same time, for Him to open the doors, we have to be willing to be proactive with our lives. Sitting around in front of the TV, hoping and wishing with a remote control in hand and a massive bowl of ice cream, wasting your life away definitely is not it!" (laughs) So Arrington, if you were to record a CD in the future, what genre of music, would it be? It would definitely be any type of R&B and soul music because that's always been my favorite genre since childhood. In my opinion, 90s R&B is still the best. But, yes, it would be R&B for sure.  

Yes, that's great! You have been involved in theater productions such as Annie, Footloose, Oklahoma, and The Wiz. The Wiz is actually one of my favorites! I am curious, what role did you play in The Wiz? I would love to know! The Wiz has a special place in my heart. It was my first play, and I did it twice. I played the Scarecrow when I was 13 in 8th grade, and then when I was 15 in 10th grade, they did the Wiz in high school, and I played the Lion. So, I played both the Scarecrow and the Lion. I always said that if I did it one more time, I'd have to play the Tin Man just to say that I've done all three. 

I remember watching the movie with the great Diana Ross and Michael Jackson when I was a kid. May he rest in peace. Here's a fun fact: Valerie Pettiford, who plays my mom on The Family Business, told me that her first job was in The Wiz as one of the dancers. I thought that was a cool little nugget because I didn't know that.  

But I love that play. When I moved to Atlanta, I had the pleasure of seeing a production of The Wiz from a high school in Atlanta. A friend of mine who was directing it wanted me to come, so I watched the show. The kids were so talented! It was like college-level work. In terms of my preference, I'd rather play the Lion rather than the Scarecrow, although it was a pleasure to play both. 

That sounds like great fun. Ok, so far, I've learned that you act and sing. Do you dance? I do, but I have never had formal training. I did a little in college, but I could always move well and had rhythm; shoutouts to Mom. So, if they ever needed someone to do a little eight-count in a musical, they would throw me in because they always wanted someone who could sing and dance. So, although I was an actor, I was versatile. In this business, being a triple threat is advantageous. 

Let's talk about your modeling experience. Can you share more about it? During my college days, I was a theater major. I was told that I should try modeling because I was tall and good-looking. I was unfamiliar with the modeling industry, except for watching America's Next Top Model as a child. However, I decided to give it a shot after college. I even participated in DC Fashion Week at one point.  

When I moved to Los Angeles, I got signed with LA Models and did some print and runway modeling. However, the modeling industry is tough, and I only did it to break into acting. I soon realized that the industry had changed a lot since the days of Tyson Beckford and Tyra Banks.  

Someone told me that I was very commercial and suggested that I should focus on that. Therefore, I decided to shift my focus towards acting, which has always been my passion. Modeling was just a brief experience, but it was fun.  

I hear that some models have to squeeze their feet into little shoes. Is that true? Child, I'm a size 12, so yeah, I've compromised my feet a few times. (laughs) 

Hilarious! Arrington, congratulations on achieving your “Bachelor’s of Arts in Theater with a minor in Communication Studies.” That's a tremendous accomplishment! I want to emphasize the significance of having a good education or a solid skill as a backup plan. Many young artists of various genres, whether music or acting, believe they can pursue their dreams without any additional backup plan. While I encourage everyone to follow their dreams, it's also important to be able to pay your bills. Can you share with our readers how crucial it is to have a career, education, or skill while pursuing your passion for the arts? Yes, it's so important. I always had big dreams and loving, supportive parents. But when I graduated high school, my mom insisted I go to college. (laughs)  

I know that's right! (laughs) Yes, and at 17, I wanted to go to Hollywood, but looking back, I realized I wasn't ready for New York or LA then. Going to college and getting an education is crucial.  

However, I did challenge my mom. I remember telling her, "If I'm going to college, I want to study what I want to study." And she said, "That's perfectly fine, as long as you get that degree."  

I am grateful for my college years as they allowed me to grow as a man and an actor. Therefore, I urge the younger generation to study their craft if they want to do this.  

All the greats, such as Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, and Meryl Streep, come from the theater. The training I received from theater helped me prepare for the film and TV industry later in life. Preparation is vital, and having a job is so important. I have always had a side hustle, doing various jobs such as serving, working in retail stores, or at Six Flags. In 2013, I even worked as a Sylvester costume character. I worked as a valet driver at a hotel for ten years, and even during the earlier seasons of my acting career, I still had to work as opportunities come in waves.   

I encourage younger people who want to get into this business to find whatever works for them. If you can't work in customer service or become a valet or server, you could be a substitute teacher or do something you enjoy. At the end of the day, you have to pay your bills. Until acting is a full-time job, I will continue to have a side hustle, and there's no shame in that.  

The pandemic and the strike have made it even harder for us, but I'm not ashamed to say that I still had to work at a hotel and be on a television show. The strike helped many people not in the industry understand that not all actors are rich. We have to keep trying to find work, and as long as you can find a flexible job that allows you to pursue your passion, work that job so you can pay your rent. 

Certainly, I appreciate your honesty. People need to understand that life can be unpredictable, as COVID has shown us. The pandemic has affected even the wealthiest people, leaving them with nothing.  

This is why I believe we should cherish life and focus on supporting and treating others well. So, let's talk about your move to LA. When did you first consider it, and what was your plan? I'm curious to know what thoughts went through your mind before you even moved there, especially as a young person with a plan. I was a planner and a type-A person growing up. However, what I have learned in life is that sometimes, you just have to go with the flow. If you believe in God, and the spirit tells you to move, then you have to move.  

After I graduated, I moved back home to Maryland and lived with my parents for a few years, like most new graduates do. But after a few years, I felt like I had to go. I believed that if I really wanted to make it and if I desired to achieve my dreams, I had to move. So, I had a valet job then, which allowed me to transfer to the hotel I was working at in Hollywood.   

The good thing was I knew I would have a job when I moved there, and I would be able to pay my bills. So, I decided to go for it. I told my parents, packed my stuff, and moved to Los Angeles. The crazy thing is, you think you've saved enough money, but when you get there, it's like, "no." (laughs) 

Right. (Laughs) But I still encourage people to follow their dreams. If you feel like doing that, you need to move to a bigger city, then take a chance and trust that everything will happen as it's supposed to. I struggled for a long time. I had to do anything and everything to support myself. I took classes and did a lot of free stuff like short films, student films, and web series. I did what I needed to do to build my resume and network. Then, things slowly started to take off. So, I don't regret my decision to move to Los Angeles. It was the right decision. 

Have you ever experienced doubt during your pursuit of an acting career? Was there a moment when you felt like giving up and thought, "Can I do this?" Absolutely, I have felt this way many times. However, my faith has always been my source of strength, and I've had deep conversations with God, asking Him, "Is this not for me because it's not working." I also sought wisdom from my mother during these times. 

I believe that when you have a calling and a deeply rooted passion, it stays with you. Even when things are tough and you hit rock bottom, something always shows up, and you see a light at the end of the tunnel. So, I never gave up; I just kept pushing forward.   

As one of my acting teachers once said, "The only difference between the people who made it and those who didn't is that those who made it never gave up, and they never stopped." That statement stuck with me.  

Even in the moments when I suffered from depression and anxiety, I kept pushing because I knew this was my calling. This industry can be tough, especially for black people or people of color. However, I surrounded myself with positive people who kept me going. I stayed positive and told myself I could do it; I was meant for this. That's what keeps me going.  

Yes, you really need to approach your career with faith in God, knowing that God is able. If you focus on the natural, you'll see yourself as a small fish in a big bowl and worry about factors like competition and social media. But if you keep your eyes on the Lord and trust that there is a space for you, you can continue to press on. Speaking of that, who was the person God sent into your life when you came here that became a voice of reason for you? Sometimes, we face challenges that we feel we can't overcome, but God won't give us more than we can bear. I've seen God send certain people into my life that encouraged me to believe that I could press on even when I doubted myself. Who was that person for you? I would say that my family has always been supportive of me, no matter what. Apart from them, I have received some excellent advice from a few respected individuals in this field. I also have a good friend whom I believe was placed in my life by God for a reason. We became close, and I often accompanied her to various events, including networking events. That's how I met Trey Haley, who ended up becoming the director of The Family Business. That's how that situation came about.  

And it's all because I trusted my gut and just went with someone who I think was meant to be in my life and encouraged me to put myself out there. As an actor, there is no single way to navigate through the entertainment industry. You must follow your own path since there is no "one way" to achieve your goals. However, the lack of a clear path can sometimes be overwhelming because you may not know whom to trust, where to go, or what the best course of action is. In such instances, it's best to trust your instincts and take advice from people you respect. By doing so, you can create your own path and achieve success in your own way. 

Yes, that's awesome. As an actor, you have to attend many auditions and face rejection often. This is especially true for creative people who have to develop a thick skin to cope with setbacks. You need to have a Teflon-like mindset to withstand the industry's cruelty. Sometimes, they can be very blunt and reject you for being too black, too light, too short, not handsome enough, or too good-looking. They may even tell you that you look like someone else or that they don't need another whomever. Despite all of this, you still have to keep going and deal with the disappointment. As an actor, how do you maintain the right mindset to continue attending auditions? Arrington, how do you deal with the ongoing rejection in this industry? Yes, it all started back in college. I got rejected a lot. We used to do about 3-4 shows per semester, and during the four years, there were around 30/32 shows, but I was only cast three times. I used to go to my dorm room and cry, thinking what's wrong with me. But it helped me develop a tough skin to keep going, although it wasn't an overnight thing.  

After college, I moved to Los Angeles, still young, trying to navigate through an industry filled with a thousand "No's" and many rejections. I still get those rejections to this day, but at some point, you have to know what's for you is for you. That was the biggest lesson I had to learn.  

Rejection can be a blessing in disguise, as I've learned that a "no" often paves the way for a "yes." Being an adult and living far away from home has allowed me to understand myself better and develop my own traits and characteristics. As time has passed, my resilience has grown stronger, making it easier to handle rejection.  

I want to give a shout-out to my acting teachers, who always emphasized the importance of being punctual, putting in the work, having fun, and giving it my all in every audition. I now approach each audition with the mindset that it's my chance to showcase my abilities and then move on. I used to obsess over my auditions, but now I remind myself that I've done my best and that if it's meant to be, it will be. If not, there's always the next opportunity.   

To build a thick skin, I tell myself I am worthy, talented, and an essential part of the industry. It's a process that takes time, as we artists are emotional and sensitive people who can be easily affected by rejection. However, as I grow older, I worry less about rejection and focus more on moving forward. 

Yeah, I had to realize that if the goals I set for myself don't materialize, and I pray about it, then it wasn't meant to be. I trust God to guide me, and if something isn't part of His plan for me, then I don't want it anyway. It took me a while to learn to fully trust in God and rely on His wisdom and guidance. But I got it now. Honestly, I wish I learned that 10 Years ago because it would have saved me a lot of heartache. 

I wasn't always there, but I had to reach a point where I surrendered my life to God and trusted His will would be done in my life. If I pray and seek a path, and the door closes, I trust that it's for my good. Perhaps that door wasn't meant for me, and God is protecting me from something I'm not supposed to have. Being in the right place at the right time is crucial. Right.  You have to trust God's timing. 

There you go. Awesome. Tell me about one of the most celebratory moments of your acting career. Being cast in my first ongoing series, "The Family Business," was a massive moment for me. Seeing my name on the TV credits for the first time was also significant.   

My first national commercial was for Wells Fargo, and it aired in 2016 or 2017. It was the first time I saw myself on TV, which was pretty cool.   

Working on the set with the fantastic cast and crew members I have admired and followed over the years was a highlight. Doing this show has been the highlight of my career so far, and I still feel like a newbie in the industry. I am still in the beginning stages of my career, and I pray it will last a long time. 

It feels like this experience is both new and old to me. I have been working on it for a while, but this season feels like a celebration of everything I have accomplished. Overall, I am thrilled with where I am right now. 

Awesome. So, in the BET/BET plus and now Netflix series, The Family Business, you play the role of Rio Duncan. What did it feel like to take the first step on set? So, getting on set for the pilot was surreal. I was like a little kid.   

It was crazy because there was a trailer with my character's name on it, and I was meeting all these people. Everybody was so warm and welcoming, which doesn't always happen. So, I'm blessed that my first show was so loving and welcoming. And that's a credit to how successful the show is because we are a family outside the show. Everyone was so supportive, and it was just exciting! I was like, OK, when the cameras roll, "Let's go!"   

Awesome. Arrington, what have you learned from your experience being on “The Family Business” and around all these fantastic actors? I feel like going to work is like attending a master class. Watching these amazing actors who have been in the industry for over 10, 20, and 30 years has been a great experience for me. I try to learn as much as possible from them and soak up their tips and tricks. It's been a joy to see myself grow as an actor on this show, and I've learned a lot about myself in the process. I used to doubt myself and wonder if I deserved to be here, but now I've gained the confidence to trust myself more and celebrate my hard work. I am just as important to the show as everyone else, and the ensemble cast has encouraged me a lot. Even outside of the show, they have helped me by giving me referrals for agents and managers. I am grateful for all their support and encouragement.  

Awesome. I have a few more questions for you. Can you tell me a little about your character for those who have never seen The Family Business? Can you tell me about your character and what you love the most about it? Absolutely. Well, I play Rio Duncan in the crime drama 'The Family Business.' It's a thrilling show with plenty of twists and turns. Our cars and clothing are incredible, like a cross between "Dynasty" and "The Sopranos." The cast and crew are excellent and diverse, and I'm grateful to be playing one of the kids on the show, even though I'm an adult. Rio is a twin and the youngest of the Duncan family. He's very different from his siblings, as he's flamboyant and loves to wear crazy outfits with different colored hair. Despite his differences, Rio is tough and loyal to his family. Whenever there's a situation regarding his family, he's there to handle it and always has their back. I think he brings a bit of comic relief to every scene he's in, and it's been a joy to play this character that Karl Webber has written so beautifully.  

Four Seasons have been on BET and BET Plus, and you can check them all out on BET Plus. Now, you can check them out on Netflix, which is excellent. So be on the lookout for 2024 for season 5.  

Arrington, throughout your career, you've played many diverse roles. Suppose you had the opportunity to portray the life of any notable black figure; who would it be? When I was growing up, some people said I looked like Tiger Woods, especially when I wore a cap. What's even more surprising is that my dad loves golf, and I even played golf for a year in high school. People would always call me "little tiger." So, if a biopic about Tiger Woods ever comes out, I would love to play him. Or if they did a remake of Malcolm X, I would love to play that role also. 

Arrington! That's it! Yes! I believe you would be excellent at both roles, but if Hollywood was casting someone to play "Tiger Woods," I can't think of a better match than you. You would be perfect for that role! I think you would also play a great Jackie Wilson. His life was kind of mysterious. I would love to hear his entire story. But thank you for that. So, what are your career goals for this year? I aspire to do more TV shows. I am interested in exploring the genre of comedy sitcoms, similar to "Abbott Elementary," or something more severe and intense, like "Power." I believe it is essential to demonstrate my versatility as an actor and exhibit that I can perform a diverse range of roles, be it comedy, drama, horror, romance, action, or Disney.   

My goal is to continue improving my career by taking on more movies and television shows and growing as an actor. I envision myself on billboards, attending award shows, and achieving success in all aspects of my career. 

And get your Oscar! You forgot to mention that. Oh Yes, we're getting the EGOT! I want the Golden Globe, the Tony, and the Grammy. I want it all! (laughs) 

Awesome! (laughs) "You're so much fun, Arrington! So, as we wrap up, what words of wisdom would you offer to those entering the acting industry? What profound advice can you give them? Sure, my advice would be to trust your instincts and follow your heart. Have faith in God and His timing. Don't let anyone discourage you or tell you it's impossible. If you genuinely believe this is what you want to do with your life, go for it. Aim high and never give up. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people who will always have your back. Remember, it's not a sprint race; it's a marathon, so stay focused and be patient. Enjoy every moment of your career, and have fun along the way. 

How lovely! Arrington, I am grateful for sharing a piece of your life with me today. You are such a kind, gracious, and polite young man. I want to thank you for that. It has been enjoyable to chat with you. I pray that God will bless everything you do according to His will for your life. May the Lord keep you and your beautiful family safe. May He bring trustworthy and honest people into your life. Those who will look out for your best interest. Lastly, may your day be filled with joy and peace. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your story with me. Arrington, have a fantastic day! Thank you, Gina. I receive it. Thank you so much; I really appreciate it. 

My pleasure, Arrington. Please take care. Goodbye.
