The sitcom is also available to stream on Paramount+. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Neighborhood\u201d was created by Jim Reynolds, who also serves as one of the showrunners.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from McKinney, it stars Cedric the Entertainer, Max Greenfield, Marcel Spears, Hank Greenspan, Tichina Arnold, Beth Behrs, and Skye Townsend.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-experience-in-the-show\">Experience in the show<\/h2>\n<p>Regarding his experience filming the show, he remarked, \u201cThe experience has been great. The cast and I have bonded for eight years as a family both on and off screen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it feels like an ongoing thing that I\u2019m a part of. \u2018The Neighborhood\u2019 has been an absolute blessing in my life,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited for the world to see how we wrapped it up, and then, I\u2019m also excited to hear how people feel about that,\u201d he said about the upcoming finale episode, which will air on Monday, May 11th.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"The Neighborhood - Welcome to Kalamazoo?

That doesn\u2019t take away from who he is as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I think it taught me patience and learning what is really important such as the values, your ethics, your morals, and when all these things are intact, it gives you the the motivation and the drive to go after what you want,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"The Neighborhood - Dog Duty\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sEFIV105PpU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-digital-age\">The digital age<\/h2>\n<p>On being an actor in the digital age, McKinney said, \u201cIt\u2019s a double-edged sword. I think I\u2019m old enough to remember the analog days. I remember my grandpa and my grandma always reading the newspaper, and having to go outside and get that.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember when dudes first started having those big brick cell phones and portable phones but I also remember a rotary dial. I was really able to watch all of that happen, and watch all of this take place,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the digital age is somewhat scary these days. Growing up, when somebody bad would happen, you would have time to process it on your own or with your loved ones. These days, you don\u2019t have the time or space to do so, especially if you\u2019re in the public eye,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a public figure, the whole world knows what you are going through and the whole world is watching you having to grapple or deal with whatever the adverse situation is. So, there are good and bad aspects of the digital age,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"The Neighborhood - Welcome to the Things We Do for Love (Sneak Peek 1)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zGDOHJsNAIQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-advice-for-young-and-emerging-actors\">Advice for young and emerging actors<\/h2>\n<p>For young and aspiring actors, McKinney said, \u201cDon\u2019t be so hard on yourselves.

Also, being able to look back on what I\u2019ve accomplished so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the times, I just hope that I\u2019ve made my family proud\u2026 my parents, my brothers, and my grandparents who are no longer here.
