Longtemps second rôle de luxe, il accède à la célébrité au début des années 1990 avec le film Jungle Fever de Spike Lee, et des séries B à succès comme Passager 57 et Demolition Man, avant de devenir mégastar en 1998 grâce au rôle de tueur de vampires de la saga Blade, 11 ans après être apparu au début de sa carrière audiovisuelle dans le clip de Bad de Michael Jackson, réalisé par Martin Scorsese. Sa spécialité est les films d'actions dans lesquels il peut faire la démonstration de ses aptitudes physiques et de sa maîtrise des arts martiaux, mais il a su aussi briller dans des thrillers, comédies ou drames, donnant la réplique à Robert De Niro ou Sean Connery. Dès 1991, il fonde sa propre société de production indépendante Amen Ra Films qui coproduit ensuite la série des Blade. Lorsque sa carrière commence à connaître un revers après le début des années 2000, une période où on ne le voit apparaître qu'une seule fois sur les écrans de cinéma américain pour Blade : Trinity en 2004, il s'appuie sur Amen Ra pour se consacrer entièrement à la production de films destinés directement au marché de la vidéo.

Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Dwight York (born June 26, 1945 or 1935), also known as Malachi Z. York, Issa Al Haadi Al Mahdi, et alii, is an author, black supremacist leader, musician, and convicted child molester, who founded various esoteric fraternal orders and black nationalist groups collectively referred to as Nuwaubians. York and the Nuwaubians came under increased government scrutiny in the early 1990s after they built Tama-Re, an ancient Egyptian-themed "city" featuring pyramids, temples, and living quarters for hundreds of his followers, in Putnam County, Georgia. He was arrested in May 2002, charged with over 100 counts of child molestation and other charges, and was convicted in 2004 and sentenced to 135 years in prison. Yorks biography is difficult to determine because much of the story he and his followers have told is mythological rather than historical in nature. York has gone to great lengths to establish genealogical toeholds in various important lines of descent. According to a birth certificate issued in the United States, York was born in Boston, Massachusetts but other accounts give his birth place as New Jersey, New York, Baltimore, or Takoradi, Ghana. The way York tells it, he was born in Omdurman, Sudan. His mother is Mary C. York née Williams, now also known as Faatimah Maryam, who at the time was married to David Piper York. York claims that his biological father was Al Haadi Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi, whom Williams is said to have met while she was a student in the Sudan. York claims that the name he was given at birth was "Isa Al Haadi Al Mahdi" and that he only acquired t...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1614968 ... Read more
