MY first professional acting role was in Boyz 'N the Hood in 1991. I followed that up with roles in various TV movies, as well as a part on Patti LaBelle's short-lived sitcom Out All Night. MY career continued to rise steadily, but I often had only bit parts in throwaway, big-budget films, like 1995's Under Siege 2 or 1997's G.I. Jane. But as the decade ended, movies about young, professional African-Americans and their problems with family and relationships began to fill the cineplexes, creating roles for ME and all the other talented black actors stuck in minor TV and film roles.In 1999, I starred in The Best Man with Taye Diggs and Nia Long, playing a professional athlete who doesn't know that his soon-to-be wife dallied with his best man - who is about to release those details in his first novel, a Roman à clef about their time in college. The Best Man earned pretty good reviews, did well at the box office, and even earned Me a NAACP Image Award nomination for my performance. I followed it up with The Brothers, another film among urban professionals.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
