I woke up five days later in the hospital. '' `` It was a blessing, '' explained Mitchell, to have his friend, who was once shot in a random act of violence, be `` one of the first people to show up at the hospital. '' Spending much time with him previously, doing things and going places, really helped Mitchell to better understand his circumstances. Mitchell got full support from his family and friends, including Denzel Washington and Chris Tucker, to continue his career.
