Believe it or not, Singleton was only 23 when Boyz n the Hoodhit the theaters. He was the first African American and the youngest person to ever be nominated for a Best Director Academy Award. He was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay.
Most recently, Singleton directed an episode of FX's The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story as well as an episode of Fox's Empire. In early June, Deadline reported that the cast had been set for his police-drama pilot, Rebel, which will air on BET. In 2010 he produced an episode for ESPN’s 30 for 30 series on Marion Jones. Since his direc...
Before her quick scenes in Boyz n the Hood as Tre’s mom, Bassett was using her acting chops in TV series and TV movies. (She was in a few episodes of The Cosby Show and in an episode of 227.) It was 1992 when her career took off, when she starred in The Jacksons: An American Dream and Malcolm X. She was nominated for an Oscar for her 1993 starring ...
Most recently she’s been a co-star on FX’s American Horror Story. In the past few years, she’s played Coretta Scott King (Betty & Coretta), Biggie’s mom (Notorious), the voice of Michelle Obama (The Simpsons) and a hoity-toity mother (Jumping the Broom). As for offscreen work, Bassett is set to launch a skin care linefor dark-skinned women in July.
Little Brenda (her character in 227) is all grown up, with dookie braids to boot, in Boyz n the Hood. King played Shalika, a quick-mouthed friend of Brandi’s.
She’s been very busy working in Hollywood for the past 25 years. Most recently she was a co-star on ABC’s American Crime for two seasons (she will appear on season 3, too) and featured in season 2 of HBO’s The Leftovers. King has also flexed her directing muscles and took the helm of Scandal for one episode and several episodes of Being Mary Jane. ...
Brandi is the apple of Tre’s eye. She is smart, good-looking and headed to Spelman to be “across the way” from Tre at Morehouse. He even breaks down and cries in front of her. (Nia Long and Regina King actually appeared on one episode of 227 together. And she later co-starred in Fridaywith Ice Cube.)
Long has also had a steady career since her Crenshaw days. She has often worked with her Boyz cast mates: with Morris Chestnut in 1999 in The Best Man, and with Ice Cube in Friday and Are We There Yet? Currently, she stars opposite Mike Epps on a new ABC comedy, Uncle Buck.
Ferrell played Brenda, mother of the year to Ricky and Doughboy. Brenda to Doughboy: “You ain’t s—t. You just like your daddy. You don’t do s—t, and you never gonna amount to s—t. All you do is eat, sleep and s—t.” Brenda to Ricky: “My baby is going to a university. I always knew you would amount to something. When you were a little boy, you used t...
After a 10-year hiatus, Ferrell reappeared on the small screen in 2015 as Roxanne Ford on Fox’s hit series Empire. Before then, you might have seen Ferrell as Ms. Ella in David Simon’s acclaimed HBO miniseries The Corner in 2000. And in 2005 she was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for her role in the television movie NTSB: The Crash of Flight 32...
