The adorable eldest son of the fictional Johnson clan on ABC’s Black-ish is played by young actor, Marcus Scribner.

The 19-year-old actor grew up on the West Coast, in Los Angeles to be exact, so we’re sure he knows tons of trivia about Tinsel Town. But does he know about Black culture?

ESSENCE put Scribner to the test with our game The B Side, which tests celebrities’ knowledge about all things Black—Black TV shows, Black films, Black sayings, Black culture.

Does he know the 2005 film that centered on a roller rink? Maybe. And does he know which film has the line, “You gotta a Picasso in yo’ house!” Well, let’s see.

Watch Scribner play The B Side now.
