Turner mesmerized in Menace as Caine, a crack dealer and a killer, an aspiring father figure and a confused teen.
His warm smile made him a heartthrob, and yet he burns with violence throughout the film. Turner was in a rare and coveted position. Caine still consumes him. Turner wears black, thick-framed glasses and sagging khaki pants. Shirtless for much of the film, he is short and compact, with the sculpted physique of a welterweight fighter. His face is youthful and his head full of hair, though it has begun to recede an inch or two.
Once shooting begins, Turner steps through machine-churned fog. Turner then raises the prosthetic limbs, presenting them to his bride, played by the actress Nichole Galicia. During downtime on set, Turner wanders off, clutching his iPhone, while Foxx, friends, and Indiana Pacers forward David West — in town for a playoff game — gather on the stoop and swap NBA gossip. Later, Foxx tells West about a recent night at a New York nightclub. The rapper posted a photo to Instagram ; his sister was starstruck, though not for the movie star.
Then she spotted Turner. Then Foxx turns serious and looks down at the lawn. Turner is off somewhere, still fiddling with his phone. Within moments of arriving, a redhead taking our dinner order distracts him. She smiles, then shies away. That part went to Cuba Gooding Jr. But when Turner met the Hugheses, the process was merely a formality. He made the most of his break at first. In the aftermath of the Rodney King incident, the subsequent L.
Dre, and Snoop Doggy Dogg emerging as the most popular and controversial rappers in the world. Singleton became the first African American Best Director Oscar nominee in history, and the film was praised for its dramatic realism and depth. In retrospect, it looks restrained next to Menace II Society. Boyz showed audiences how to apply to college; Menace featured a primer on cooking crack cocaine.
On the night of the premiere, Turner realized his life would never be the same again. Fame had its drawbacks, of course.
He was mobbed on routine trips to the grocery store. Playing basketball in the park was out of the question. His mother was 15 when he was born, and she was often out of the house by 7 a. At 5, he was taking public transportation unaccompanied. Around this time, he began hanging around dice games. The older kids in the neighborhood gravitated toward him, and when he was 12 years old, he lost his virginity to a year-old girl.
I jumped on the handlebars, my homeboy drove me over there, and we went through the window and went in there and, you know.
I went with my friend. The first time I had sex, it was a train. Life moved fast for Turner, but unlike the character that defines him, he managed to duck gang life. One day, he was caught stealing a pair of Vans from a department store and sent home, where his mother tossed him in the bathtub, ran the water, and pelted him with an extension cord.
His uncle Rock Richmond, a former defensive back for the San Antonio Gunslingers of the USFL, told him never to drink or smoke, and he joined the baseball team after befriending future major leaguer Garret Anderson.
But what Turner truly loved was performing, and despite receiving a D in drama class, he decided to become an actor. But the drama club lured him, and he appeared in 10 comedies. Just before graduation he left school to try acting professionally in New York.
I could see myself knocking over tables. I thought acting was for little … guys. The play lasted only a few weeks, and he supported himself as a short-order cook, waiter, lifeguard and hot dog seller between other small roles in the theater. His father worked the mines for 39 years until he died of black lung disease in In interviews, Palance recalled bitterly that his family had to buy groceries at the company store, though prices were cheaper elsewhere.
Speaking to the BBC in , he firmly rejected suggestions of any racial stereotyping. Believe me, Jar Jar was not drawn from a Jamaican, from any stretch of the imagination. They want the films to be tough like Terminator, and they get very upset and opinionated about anything that has anything to do with being childlike. In , when asked which Star Wars character he would most like to be, he smiled wryly and replied, "Jar Jar Binks.
