Life lessons of Yazz from Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson

Bryshere Grey, AKA Yazz the Greatest is an actor who played the Empire's role of Hakeem.

According to the acting newbie, the number one lesson he learned from his Oscar nominated co-stars is about money.

In an interview with VARIETY, the 22-year-old explained that what he has learned from Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson is "save your money."

He went on to tell NEW YORK TIMES that " it's a whole new world, where you have to stay focused on what you want and not get distracted. "

According to the actor, last Christmas, he gave away 10,000 bikes in Philadelphia and he told his fans," if you're going to spend money, that's the way to do it!

Yazz explained that he also learned from his on-screen parents that "if you ever feel embarrassed when you're doing a scene and you feel like it shouldn't be on camera, you should keep going."
