Actor and DJ Tony Okungbowa made a mark as Ellen DeGeneres' sidekick on The Ellen Show, entertaining viewers everywhere. He continues to do so as producer and star of Echo Park in which his character highlights the idea of finding oneself in the LA neighborhood of the same name.

Okungbowa joins Elvis Mitchell to discuss what drew him to the film, his conflicted racial identity growing up in both Nigeria and London and what makes a Westsider or Eastsider in Los Angeles.
