He’s had steady work in film and television starring in movies such as The Brothers and Under Siege 2 with Steven Seagal, but he’s never had a role as memorable as that of Ricky Baker. He ended up marrying his high school sweetheart and has three children with her, and hopefully his awesome portrayal of Nicky Barnes in American Gangster is a sign of things to come and a return to glory, not a break from the norm. And last night he was OJ Simpson. He’s back!Ĭhestnut was great in Boyz, but he didn’t blow up like Cuba and Cube. But then, for whatever reason, Cuba’s stock fell and he started doing movies like Rat Race, Boat Trip, and Radio. His performance in Boyz is arguably the best out of all cast members, and he followed it up with some impressive performances in As Good as it Gets and especially Jerry Maguire, for which he received an Academy Award. Most impressive, to me, is that Cube wrote the hilarious Friday movies, as well as the underrated All About the Benjamins.  His most recent success? Straight Outta Compton has some serious critical acclaim.įollowing Boyz N The Hood, Cuba’s career has been up and down to say the least. I mean, this is a guy who had a “plan to break Tyson out of prison,” and now he’s in Are We There Yet? Yikes.

He’s probably not as family-friendly as Snoop Dogg, and his appearance in family movies is still kind of jarring to me. He’s continued to pump out some great rap albums ( The Predator will always be one of my favorites), and has become a regular on the big screen, starring in movies such as Three Kings, The Friday movies, and the XxX sequel. Man, Ice Cube has come a long way from the jheri-curled, angry rapper that landed a role as Doughboy. He continues to find work not only in film, but on stage and television too: Fishburne was nominated for a Tony Award in 2007 for his role in “Thurgood.” No big deal – he had already won a Tony in 1992. Perhaps Fishburne’s most well-known is that of Neo’s mentor in The Matrix Trilogy, Morpheus. The man who played a character with one of the coolest names ever (I dare you to come up with five cooler names than “Furious Styles ” it can’t be done) went on to a very successful and respected career in acting.

The cast of Boyz N The Hoodall went on to have some pretty interesting and impressive careers, so let’s see what they’ve been up to since 1992. Yup, we’re talking nearly 25 years since this movie came out. Wow. It’s not like I was growing up in gated communities with butlers and tennis courts, but it was nevertheless startling and, to a degree, educational to see for the first time, life in the ghettos of South Central Los Angeles. It blows my mind that John Singleton was only 23 when he was nominated for Best Director for his work on one of the best movies of the 1990s, Boyz N The Hood.
