Collins:
Who is Chris Cream?
Cream:
Chris Cream is the fourth son of Vincent E. Cream and Judy Cream. I am the fourth of five sons of Vince Cream, and I’m Judy Cream’s youngest son. I’m an actor, director, writer, producer, grandfather, father, brother, and Camdenite—son of Camden.
Collins:
Chris, you’re no stranger to the Anointed News Journal. You’re no stranger to people—not just in the city of Camden, but throughout South Jersey. You’ve been known as a poet. You’ve been known as a stage actor, as well as a film and screen actor. What motivated you to go into the arts?
Cream:
Honestly, I think it chose me. My early days go back as young as my grandsons. I have two grandsons: one is five and one is two. Somewhere between those two ages, my earliest memory of a stage play was at the original Nazarene church on 8th Street.
My dad was a Baptist minister, so I was always in church in Woodbury. I was singing on the mic there, and then I would go to my grandmother’s in Centerville on the weekends. She lived right across the street from Nazarene, so Sunday School was right there. Every Sunday, we were either there, at Bethel AME, at my grandmother’s church, or at my dad’s church.
But over at Nazarene, I remember my first stage play. I was a little kid on stage, and I remember looking around and thinking, You guys like this? I think I might have been a tree, but I had a couple of lines. I couldn’t even tell you what the play was. There are pictures in my mom’s album from those days. That’s my earliest memory of being on stage.
Collins:
I remember spending some time with you on stage under the legendary Ben White Jr.; In fact, I remember doing a scene in Purlie with you. We’ve all seen you—and when I say “we,” I’m talking about those of us who grew up watching you on stage in some form of the performing arts.
Back then, the city of Camden did not have a Creative Arts high school, but we had the legendary Ben White Jr. at Hatch Middle School, which you and I attended along with some other legends. We were exposed to the arts in a major way. Why is something like that so important for young people in the city of Camden?
Cream:
Shout out to Mr. Ben White. He doesn’t know how much he contributed to my professional career at a very young age. You know as well as I know, and anyone who came under his tutelage knows, how much he demanded of you. But we didn’t know that Ben White was literally giving us professional instruction at that point in time.
The way he talked to us, the way he made us hit our marks, stay on point, project, and do all the different things he instilled in us—those were actual acting lessons. He was teaching while putting these productions together.
When you’re on set directing, the last thing you want to do is teach someone how to act. If you’re here, you’re supposed to know how to act. Ben White took neophytes and newcomers and, while putting on a full production, which in and of itself requires attention, he was also teaching acting, dance, and stage performance. Think about how many different hats Ben White wore and how well he did all of them.
We watched him move from the dancers to the actors, from one group to another. We saw every aspect. Even if we weren’t physically in a scene, we still got the lesson. So by the time I moved forward into any next-level professional work, I already had a fair degree of knowledge—more than I realized at the time. When I stepped on stage in various places, I already knew more than I thought I knew.
There are three different mediums actors work in: stage, television, and the big screen. As an actor, you emote differently in each one so the viewer can understand what’s happening. Ben White taught us projection on stage, like in Purlie. When I transitioned to film, I had to turn that projection down and let the emotion come through the face with the same energy. But when I went back on stage, it was like, Oh, I already know how to do this. Not because I went back through different acting classes, I didn’t, but because I still had everything he put in my bag. Everything he gave us back then, I carried forward with me, and it still works to this day.
Collins:
Now, during your young career under the legendary Ben White—whether it was Purlie, Travis, A Raisin in the Sun, Dr. King, and others—these were all credits you participated in, from Broadway to Hollywood to The Wiz. Tell us about some of the other projects you worked on as you transitioned from youth into adulthood. And as you do that, tell us what motivated you to continue pursuing acting or entertainment.
Cream:
I’m a creative by nature, so it’s always in me to be doing something. Even when I’m not on stage, I tend to work in construction rather than white-collar work because my hands allow me to create. My brain doesn’t get stimulated by paperwork and the things that come with white-collar work. I can look at a piece of sheetrock or wood, see a vision in it, and create that vision. I still feel the same creative release I feel when I’m on stage or in a studio.
That release has to happen because you’re born in that light. I remember in my twenties, I was at the Point Breeze Theater in South Philadelphia, where I did a production that traveled for a while. Then there were a couple of theaters in Old City, Philadelphia, that I connected with and worked in for some time, just to stay active and keep the fire burning. There was no internet at the time, but I still wanted to do more. I hadn’t yet gotten where I wanted to be in terms of that creative release.
I wound up stumbling into Mike Lemon Casting. At that point in time, Mike Lemon was the guy in this region for casting, though I didn’t know it then. His office was right near the Electric Factory on Callowhill Street. I remember walking into the building, going up to a nondescript floor in that high-rise, and stepping into an office filled with file cabinets and people’s headshots everywhere. It had a certain feeling to it.
Then Mike came out of his office—about six-foot-two, horn-rimmed glasses, polite, welcoming, but focused. People gravitated toward him, and then he went right back to work. He wasn’t standoffish; he just didn’t linger. You dealt with the people up front, submitted your pictures, and then they placed you in a class or two to make sure you knew what you were doing before sending you out.
I wound up taking additional classes to understand the three mediums and how to emote properly for each one. At that time, I learned that it didn’t cost a lot of money; it just took a few weeks and consistent application. Once you gain that understanding, you can watch Denzel, watch Idris, and recognize what they’re doing. You can see the method they’re using and why they’re using it. It’s almost like a good meal—you can break down the taste and understand every element of it.
Collins:
So all of those things gave you a great foundation. You mentioned that your bread and butter in between is construction. What words of wisdom or advice would you give to a young aspiring actor or actress?

Cream:
You set your limits. You set your morality clauses. You know what works for you and what doesn’t work for you. You have to eat. So until your dream takes off, you have to eat. You have to find a way to make a mainstay every day, and you have to be patient with the process.
I heard Luther Vandross say this right here in Camden. We were on the Camden waterfront. Rest in peace to the legend, Luther. I was doing security at the waterfront while he was warming up, just talking. He said, It takes ten years to make an overnight success.
I had never heard that before—ten years to make an overnight success. That means when people wake up and look at you and think, Oh, he just made it, they don’t know your backstory. They don’t know how long you’ve been in the trenches without that meal, eating out of your car, things like that.
Having had those lessons and those words in my ear, along with someone like my grandfather whose legacy is perseverance—I’m built for the long run. I’ve had legends tell me to take in the moment as it’s happening. So I’m patient with the process, and that’s what I would tell someone else: be patient along the way, take in the moments as they happen, and be grateful.
Collins:
You mentioned the legendary Ben White Jr., but you’ve also had opportunities, even if just for a moment, to talk to other legends in the industry. One in particular was Danny Glover. What was it like being in his presence, and how did he inspire you?
Cream:
Those words I just shared were actually a quote Danny Glover gave me directly. We were on the set of Beloved. I was in my early twenties, cast through Mike Lemon Casting for Beloved and Snake Eyes, but Beloved was where my eyes really opened. That entire experience is etched in my mind from leaving Philly to the moment I decided to walk up to Danny Glover.
I remember hearing people around me saying, Chill. Leave him alone. He was sitting by himself. Oprah Winfrey—yes, the Oprah Winfrey was shooting a football field away. Danny was sitting another football field away. There were about a thousand of us extras standing around, dressed as slaves, waiting for direction.
But I wanted to talk to Danny Glover. This was downtime. The cameras weren’t rolling. So Camden spoke to me right here in my ear and said, You’re from Camden. What’s the worst they can do, send you back? We were filming in Virginia, four hours away, so I knew I wasn’t going home that day.
I walked across the field. When I got to him, I didn’t know what to say. I just knew a legend was standing in front of me. I said, Excuse me, and I pointed back toward the group and said, They told me to come over here so you could introduce yourself to me. He looked at me like I was crazy and then he laughed, deep from his diaphragm. He said, Well, I’m Danny Glover.
We both laughed. I shook his hand and told him I just needed to take the moment while it was possible. He said, Have a seat. So I sat down with him and said, I’ve been watching you sit here, and I’m over there jumping out of my skin. You’re so serene, so peaceful. How did you get like this?
He told me, I learned a long time ago to take in the moment as it’s happening.
That same voice in my ear—the one that said you’re from Camden—told me, That’s the pearl. The answer came in the first question I asked. Years later, I realized how anxious I was back then, but I can still tell you every detail from that day. I remember the tree line. I remember the buses. I remember the size of the field before I ever reached him.
I was already living that way—I just didn’t have the language for it yet. It took a legend like him to say it out loud, for me to truly see it, articulate it, and understand it for myself.
Collins:
In this industry, there are a lot of people who get work because of relationships. When you look at Tyler Perry, many of his films seem to cast the same actors and actresses. One in particular is Tasha Smith from the city of Camden, who we all know.
You also have great relationships with Nate Banks, Thomas Freeman, Denny Brown, and others in the industry. How important is it to have those types of relationships that can keep you busy?
Cream:
That’s extremely important. It’s important for everybody to galvanize their talents in order to build an industry in an area where there was no industry. As you alluded to earlier, this wasn’t here before. So for each portion of Voltron to come together, it’s necessary. Each of us has a different skill set or talent.
When you merge those things together, great things can happen. In a city like Camden, which is a blank slate, everybody can come to the table with earnest effort and say, Let’s go—let’s win. That’s powerful. I’m grateful for it. It’s very gratifying to have people who are interested in moving the city forward in that capacity.
As my grandfather’s grandson, that’s my charge. I could have gone to California, Atlanta, or somewhere else and taken my talents there, but it’s important to build it here. This is home. This is the mainstay.
Collins:
Let’s take it a step further. It’s often said in Hollywood that African American actors are not getting work. When you look at some of the names you mentioned—Idris, for example, who is from Great Britain, and the gentleman cast in Star Wars, who is from Europe, a lot of American actors of African or African American descent are not getting the same opportunities.
So when you have people like Tyler Perry or Nate Banks who give opportunities to local talent and Black and Brown talent, why do you feel that’s so important?
Cream:
Because it gives us an outlet. It gives us a voice. It gives us a presence in a space where our presence may otherwise be pushed out by any means necessary. So it’s not about what they’re doing—it’s about what we’re doing.
That galvanization of people saying, I might not have that talent, but I have the talent to make that happen. It’s essential. It’s critical. It’s a credit to the Nates and every other producer in the South Jersey and Philadelphia region. I hold them all in the same regard because of their importance. It may not be me in your film, but it could be one of my affiliates. And if this region wins, then we all win. I can’t say enough about that.
Collins:
The whole community came out, standing room only… Several theaters were filled for the debut of Chase Street at the Loews Cherry Hill Theater. It was star-studded, with a lot of energy in the room, from babies to seniors and everyone in between. What was that night like? And you were one of the main featured artists.
Cream:
Unbelievable. An unbelievable turnout. When you think about the support Chase Street received and the energy it generated across South Jersey, it was powerful. When you look back at the images, you see a sea of people going into each theater, all the way out to the front door.
The only thing competing with that at the time was Black Panther. People were used to seeing lines like that for Black Panther. So when folks came to the theater that night, they assumed the line was for Black Panther, but it was all for Chase Street.
That electricity came from the synergy of everyone involved: the Dennys, the T-Blacks, the Bennys, the Nates, the Bobby Rands, everybody who poured into that project. That’s what made the crowd show up the way it did. That’s what created that energy. Again, it’s a credit to the power of Camden and what happens when we come together.
Collins:
And Chase Street ran for some time—a mini-series. How long did it run?
Cream:
You know what? I can’t even tell you exactly how long—it’s been a minute because I’ve been involved in other productions since then. But we did several showings of Chase Street, and then we had to do an encore because it was still very popular. For an independent film, that’s rare. That’s rare even for a major production to pull off. But for an independent to have to keep doubling back because the crowd wanted it back in the theater. That was a beautiful thing. It was beautiful to feel that level of support.
Collins:
And who were some of the people you got to work with on that production?
Cream:
Clifton Powell, Vincent Pastore (from the Sopranos), Joshua Worlds, Bobby Rand. Quite a few people. Clifton and I had several scenes together, and we really worked. I received great support, advice, and encouragement from Cliff after he saw me work as Grimes in that role.
Collins:
What was it like to see so many Camden people participate in that production?
Cream:
It was great. It was a really great thing. What Chase Street did historically, numbers-wise, is one thing. But what it’s done for its legacy is something else.
Every film that has come out of this area since then, whether we shot it or not, Chase Street has been the benchmark. No other movie has had that kind of turnout, that kind of fanfare. I don’t care who produced it. Some projects came close, but nothing matched that. Even our own work since then hasn’t created that level of buzz. That moment was crazy.
To see that many people from this area make that happen and to see how many are still creating films or branching out into filmmaking themselves—that’s because of Chase Street. Some may have had an interest before, but they didn’t have a doorway. I had doorways because I went different places back in the day, but this project created its own doorway and then it created the space we’re standing in now.
Collins:
This is Nate Banks, executive producer and producer of Chase Street.
Banks:
We now have three or four TV series, several documentaries, and movies. We’ve done quite a few projects. What I love is how beautiful it makes our city look, and how actors from all over the world leave Camden with a completely different perspective. Camden had a stereotype. People were nervous. Sometimes we’d tell them Philly, and then explain it was right across the bridge because they didn’t want to come to Camden.
But when they left, it was, Yo, I love this city. The people were great. They fed us well. They took care of us. They showed us love. So many actors have said, Whenever you need us, we’ll come back, because of the love they received here.
Collins:
Awesome! So, Chris, congratulations on your journey and all the things you’ve been part of. January 17th, Saturday, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, at ACX1 Studios, is the premiere of Grimes. Tell us about Grimes and what the public can expect when they show up on January 17th.
Cream:
Grimes—I’m excited about that character. I’ve been excited about that character since Chase Street. Grimes is based on Jeff Williams, an actual former police officer who was also a candidate at one point. He was a decorated officer and at the same time, everything in the streets that an officer shouldn’t be.
That dichotomy spoke volumes to me. The first time I ran across him, I didn’t even know who he was. I was with Vic—shout out to Mayor Vic Carstarphen. We were at the Turkey Game. At that time, Vic was still on the bench. We were standing near the concession stand. There were about 2,000 people at the game, but the concession area was relatively empty. That’s where I wanted to be, and knowing Vic, he probably wanted to be over there too.
He steps back, talking to someone. I’m leaning on the fence, watching the game through the uprights. Next thing I know, somebody bumps me. That bothered me because I was by myself. I’m immediately agitated. I look over, and the guy leaning on the fence next to me never says excuse me, never looks at me—nothing. He just keeps looking out at the field.
I’m this close to him, staring him down, thinking, Feel me looking at you. But he never looks back. It’s anticlimactic. So I lean back to Vic and say, Yo, is that such-and-such right there? Vic says, Yeah, Creamy, that’s him.
I say, Don’t you think it’s odd that he came and stood next to me? Vic asks why. I say, Yo, you’re with the writer of Chase Street. We hadn’t picked up a camera yet. We hadn’t even thought about it. Vic goes, Oh… wow.
Now I’m perplexed because some of the same people this cop robbed—drug dealers he took money from—were at that game. He’d been to jail, been through all of that. He stepped on my foot, bumped me, and never once looked back. His eyes never changed. His facial expression never changed. At that point, I wasn’t mad anymore. I was studying character. I was breaking it down. I said, Okay. I got your number.
Fast-forward to the first day on set at the table read. Clifton Powell was directing. I still had the script in my hand and I barely knew it yet. We’re standing around the table at the Black Box, going over dialogue. The rest of the cast is there. I’m reading my lines off the page, and Cliff smacks the script out of my hand. He says, Nah. You the cop. You the cop.
That reverberated through me. He said so much with just those two words. Think about it. You the cop. And everything I told you about that moment at the fence came rushing back. This dude had been to jail, smoked crack, done all this stuff and nothing ever happened to him. That’s what Cliff meant. You the cop.
From that moment on, everything I absorbed about that man clicked. By the time the cameras went up. That swagger, the Grimes swagger, came from what I saw in him. I took a little bit of that, mixed it with what I’d learned in my training, and built the character.
What’s crazy is, Jeff didn’t know me at the time, and I didn’t know him. Later, when they started shooting the documentary about Jeff, he would come into the studio and do the same thing, get right up in my space. I finally had to tell him, Yo, man, I don’t like people touching me. That became a thing between us.
One time, we were at one of his yard parties. He comes up and bumps knees with me while I’m sitting down and says, Yo, I got a lot of family down in Florida. They’ve seen Chase Street.
I’m trying to read him. He says, They call me Grimes now.
I sat up and said, Wait—you’re telling me they’re calling you the character? He said yes. That told me I did my job. If people are calling the real person by the character’s name, that’s the highest compliment.
But my favorite compliment came from my grandson. He was about two years old at the time. One day, I turned on Chase Street to test his attention span. There’s a scene where I introduce myself as George Grimes. He was bouncing around like kids do, but when he heard my voice, he stopped. He leaned over my shoulder, watching the screen, then looked at me like, Wait… that’s you.
He watched the entire scene. When it ended, he patted me on the back. He couldn’t say “good job,” but I understood exactly what he meant.
Between Jeff being called Grimes and my grandson giving me that moment—that was the cap for me. That was everything.
Collins:
So Grimes, being an offspring of Chase Street, focuses more on the police officer character—Jeff Williams. And shout out to Jeff Williams and the Williams family, a legendary family from the East Camden community. Shout out to his mom as well.
Cream:
And his brother.
Collins:
Yes—his brother Ralph. Let me just say this: Jeff has certainly been an inspiration to many. When his brother Ralph had a stroke, it was Jeff who personally took on the challenge of training him back into good health. Now when you see Ralph Williams, you see him living life to the fullest, getting on the dance floor.
Cream:
Ralph is back up? Amazing!
Collins:
I remember being at the Kroc Center when Ralph was complaining about how Jeff was training him, and Jeff said, Do you want your brother, or do you want your trainer? Do what I say. It was a great moment. A great Camden moment, to witness the love between two brothers. So shout out to the Williams family.
Chris, what are you looking forward to on the 17th? And who are some of the partners you’re working with on this project?
Cream:
Co-starring with me are Crystal The Doll (Crystal Hughes) and Denzell Dandridge. Some of Tubi’s & Detroit’s finest actors are involved in this, and we play alongside each other as officers. It’s always fun working with them—we’ve worked together on several projects, but this one is obviously focused around my character, allowing me to expand beyond just co-starring.
I appreciate that. I appreciate the belief of the team to look at Grimes through a closer lens and say, That’s the breakout character. That’s what the people are asking for. Let’s finance it and get it going. They could have gone in a different direction—another project, new ideas—but there was something in this one they believed in. I’m thankful for that.
It allows me to focus on a character I know and expand him. Even during Chase Street, because I knew so much about Jeff, I kept saying, Take the cuffs off. Let him fly. That character has room. So now that we’re in a space where we can really focus on him, I feel like, as an actor, I can truly stretch out.
As we continue producing more installments, people will see more and more of the gifts God has given me. I want to give those gifts out.
Collins:
And with that said, what’s next for Chris Cream?
Cream:
In 2026, I intend to produce. I have projects I’ve written over the last couple of years, but there are two I want to focus on right now. One is a movie, and one is a series. I’m leaning toward selling the series because when I did the budget analysis, it came in a little high. But I believe in it enough to pursue it.
We also pick right up after the premiere with additional installments of Grimes. That expansion allows me to take the character even further. So writing, directing, and film producing, that’s where I’m headed now.
Collins:
Let me ask a question I could just as easily ask myself and many other legends from the city of Camden. Chris, you could be anywhere in the world. People know your name. They’ve seen your work. People in the industry know you well. Why Camden?
Cream:
I bleed this. And if I walk away from here to go elsewhere and do it, I can do it. I don’t have any fear of that. But like I said earlier, when I began, there were no doors. There were no avenues. There were no opportunities to even become a doorway.
What matters to me is being able to become a conduit—to bring people to a Nate or whoever else I’m affiliated with and help them get into film. I’m a casting agent at this point, so I can place people in films. I’ve been able to place my son in a film. I’ve been able to place my brother in a film.
When I look at my grandfather’s legacy, his last film with Humphrey Bogart was The Harder They Fall, where my grandfather co-starred. It means something. When I come along and do what I do, and I bring my son, my brother-in-law, and eventually my grandsons into this space, that’s gratifying to me. It allows me to continually plant and grow my roots where I’m from.
It’s not just about being here, it’s about building something here. Through the construction union, there are buildings on the waterfront—the Triad Building, the hotel, and other projects I’ve helped build from the ground up with blood, sweat, and tears, all while filming movies. This is my grandfather’s city. His statue is on the waterfront.
I don’t leave because if we’re not here holding it up, who will? My roots are here. Even if I go away, I still have to come back to my roots. I’d rather water the tree I picked the fruit from.
Collins:
Sure. And in the most respectful way—you’ve mentioned your grandfather several times, but you haven’t said his name. Tell the world who your grandfather is.
Cream:
Arnold Raymond Cream Sr., also known as Jersey Joe Walcott.
Collins:
To give a little history—not only was he the oldest heavyweight champion in the world from the city of Camden, but he was also the first African American sheriff and was responsible for the work-release program that’s still in effect today, ensuring incarcerated individuals did not lose their jobs. Shout out to Jersey Joe’s legacy.
Cream:
I want to shout out the city for making sure that legacy stays alive. The city and the county—I also have to give credit back to my brother Vince, who helps keep that legacy alive as much as any of us do.
Collins:
And the Anointed News Journal was fortunate to have the opportunity to write your grandfather’s story for his 100th birthday.
And to be part of the statue and the unveiling on the waterfront was amazing. So, Chris, before we close out, is there anything you’d like to say that we didn’t cover?
Cream:
I’m just grateful.
Collins:
How can people get access to the January 17th premiere?
Cream:
Through Eventbrite. If you go on Eventbrite and type in Grimes Premier and After Party, it’ll pop up. Tickets are about $40—it’ll say $39, plus service fees. That includes the movie and the after-party.
Cream:
The after-party is hosted by Lady B, Crystal the Doll, and myself. Everybody will be in the building. I also want to shout out everyone in the cast. A lot of times, cast members who aren’t considered “starring” don’t get mentioned, but every single person is important. Everyone played their role to the fullest, and that’s what made the project believable.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m., and showtime is at 7:00 p.m. Again, that’s ACX1 Studios, 1 Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic City, New Jersey. This is the pier right outside Caesars Casino Hotel.
Dress to impress—red carpet, red carpet. And there is an after-party. You can also contact Benny Mateo at 646-389-2775 for VIP Seating and Bottle Service.
Collins:
Chris, The Anointed News Journal has over 180,000 readers weekly. In conclusion, what would you like to say to the readers of Anointed?
Cream:
Thank you. Thank you for reading this article. Thank you for reading every article you’ve ever read in The Anointed. Being a supporter of media—both local and major—is important, but local media is even more important because it’s the finger on the pulse. It’s the grassroots.
I’m appreciative of The Anointed News Journal, Chris Collins and his entire staff, as well as each and every one of you readers. Thank you.
Collins:
Alright. And for those who may want to support Grimes, or those who may want to join your fan base, is there a website or social media? How can people support or contribute to the project?
Cream:
StreetWiseCinema.com is the website. That has everything we’re doing. You can see what we’ve done in the past, what we’re currently doing, and what our plans are moving forward.
The executive producers involved are Benny Mateo, Thomas Freeman, Nate Bank Jr.
Collins:
And Chris, is there a social media handle for those who want to follow you?
Cream:
Chris Cream or @IamChrisCream on all social media platforms. You can also find me on IMDb. All my credits are there. You can pull up every movie I’ve been in. Just type my name into Google, and it’ll come up.
Conclusion:
Chris Cream’s journey is a powerful testament to what it means to honor legacy while boldly creating new pathways for future generations. Through film, mentorship, and an unwavering commitment to his roots, Cream continues to use his platform to tell authentic stories, open doors for local talent, and redefine what success looks like when faith, purpose, and community are at the center. As Grimes ushers in the next chapter of his creative work, Cream’s impact stands as a reminder that the most meaningful success is not just measured by where you go, but by how you uplift others along the way.
