Who is in the pic with Michael ~ Roger G, the skater who appeared in Michael's 'Bad' video. An interview with Roger G.[ translated with Google translate, so may be slight errors in language translation.]

A native of Brooklyn, New York, has worked with artists such as Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z and has traveled the world teaching kids the magic of hip-hop with award-winning videos, "Hip-hop for kids." It was the year 1986. I received a call from a friend who told me: "They make a video audition for Michael Jackson, BAD. I want you to go there and bring your skates. Do not forget that that's what sets you apart from others. " So I went to the audition. There were many people, almost 3000 people! I took my skates and did my audition. It was almost more a performance than an audition. Quincy Jones met there and asked for an autograph. I was as excited as a child. Then I saw Jeffrey Daniels, choreographer, and also asked one. He said: "You do not need my autograph." I said, "Why?". "For you are with us. We've already taken. " And he warned: "Do not tell anyone, go as if you know nothing." I went to the bathroom and started to scream and shout as loud as I could. It was the happiest man on Earth that day. Knowing i was going to work with Michael Jackson!

They kept doing tests but I had to return. I met Michael a couple of days later. I was practicing with the dancers and said: "Michael is coming". I was excited. I was going to meet Michael Jackson! I looked in the mirror trying to compose my face. It was one of the strangest situations I did not know how to act. How am I supposed to act when you meet Michael Jackson?

Michael learned the poppin from 'Poppin' Taco (choreographer) He was his personal trainer. Then he took that style and gave life to everything else. When Michael saw me skating he was amazed. I thought I was seeing a child. He was looking at me and I looked at him thinking: "How can you be so surprised at me?" He was very humble. I tried to teach him to skate but was afraid. I told him I would make sure there was no one there. He said: "I do not want a lot of people around me." I wanted to teach him but never could, he was too busy. All this was before the trials, which lasted about three weeks. He wanted everything perfect. By then it was unusual for a long test video. Time flies when you're so busy and I forgot about it. I was so used to seeing Michael over there I thought: "Wow, I see him every day". He was a normal person, but was a perfectionist. I was sad when it's over. I used to joke a lot when he was around. He was known to be a prankster. Then I spent a joke on others. I had a big coat and a hat like Michael. People expected him to arrive and someone said he was on the way, so I left, "Michael comes, everyone prepare your camera!" So I went out, I played around and people said, "Here comes Michael ". All fans were taking pictures around and I opened my coat and said, "AHH!". They then took a look at me and said, "Dude, that's not Michael Jackson".

I could see all the filming of the dance scenes, because I was the last to shoot mine. Everyone was gone and Michael directed me himself. And he was proud of it. Martin Scorsese was there but left Michael to address me. He said: "do it like you did the first time I saw you." He said: "Yes, turns away and they look at each other and then look back "Convince me ". I did it in three takes. "That's it, we're done!" He said. We shook hands and left. About two months later was the video presentation. When I saw it, I thought, "Not long enough". They filmed a lot but then edited and cut it"

The next time I saw Michael was in Sydney, Australia, during the BAD tour. I got married there. I was invited to go up and act on the tour a bit, before leaving Sydney. It was fun to see him again. I went on stage and could not quit! They left the children to sing "We Are The World". was the last song and I danced. Michael let me and I went crazy. It was the best I've done in my life. I started dancing: walked around, I turned and got the glasses as Stevie Wonder. I started to do somersaults and twists while Michael left the stage with children.
