Tyrese Lands Next Big Role (6/4/03)
2 Fast 2 Furious hasn't even hit theaters yet and already the film's star has landed a new film deal with 2 Fast's producer. Neal H. Moritz has an urban thriller called Extortion in the works and found Tyrese to be such "[an] incredibly talented star" that he approached the actor to sign on to the second project.
According to a Universal Pictures press release, Extortion will focus on Tyrese's character, a detective who goes undercover to solve the murder of his foster brother. In order to make his cover believable, he must do whatever it takes to fit into the criminal underworld-- even if it means becoming part of it.
2 Fast 2 Furious opens this Friday (June 6).
Despite all of his success, Tyrese maintains a strong work ethic and explains that, although he may have made it financially, he still feels there is much more to achieve artistically. "I'm not showing off in no sense, but I don't think my motivation has changed one bit,” Tyrese said. “And, honestly, I don't have to work for the next three years if I don't want to right now. But, it's not about money, materials, and them-type things that a lot of people usually settle for. I'm here. I could put my feet up. I've made it. It's so much more to accomplish, so it's not about that to me. You can't settle for money and awards and materials."
I knew I loved this boy for a reason--hee hee! But I'm glad that his head is on straight. He doesn't come across as being caught up in his success. Big ups to him for that.
