Wesley Snipes (Actor) .. Pete Nessip
Born: July 31, 1962 in Florida
Best Known For: Killing demons in the Blade trilogy and spending time in jail for failing to file tax returns.
Early-life: Wesley Trent Snipes was born in Orlando, Florida, on July 31, 1962, but grew up in the South Bronx in New York, where early on he decided he wanted to be an actor. He attended the High School for the Performing Arts (popularised in 1980s classic film and TV series Fame), but then his mother moved to Florida. After graduating from high school he appeared in local dinner theatres and regional productions. An agent saw him in a competition and got him his first movie role alongside Goldie Hawn in Wildcats (1986).
Career: Athletic roles in Wildcats gave way to tough guy parts in New Jack City (1991), and to the action hero in Passenger 57 (1992). He went on to star alongside some of Hollywood's most famous leading men, all of whom hand-picked him for the roles. He further came to audiences' attentions in White Men Can't Jump (1992), Demolition Man (1993), Rising Sun (1993) and One Night Stand (1997), before landing the lead role in Blade (1998). Two more Blade films were made. He made a number of straight-to-DVD movies before returning to form in Brooklyn's Finest (2010). In 2008, Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison for failing to file federal income tax returns. After his conviction was upheld after an appeal, Snipes reported to federal prison in December 2010. He was released in April 2013. He returned to the big screen in 2014 in The Expendables 3.
Quote: "I never really planned on making action films. It just kind of happened. I've focused primarily on acting and developing characters, but that has blossomed into a whole new venue."
Trivia: Snipes' New York apartment was destroyed by the collapse of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in the September 11 attacks. He was not in New York at the time.
Gary Busey (Actor) .. Ty Moncrief
Born: June 29, 1944 in Cross Creek, Texas
Best Known For: His erratic behaviour.
Early-life: Gary was born in Cross Creek, Texas, on June 29, 1944 to Sadie and Delmer. He attended Pittsburg State University on a football scholarship and it was here that he became interested in acting. He transferred to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. His first taste of showbusiness came when he played the drums in several bands.
Career: Busey made his acting debut as a biker in Angels Hard as They Come (1971). He went on to have small parts in a number of films and TV shows until his breakthrough role in The Buddy Holly Story (1978). He played Holly and his performance earned him an Oscar nomination. His most notable role in the 1980s was playing an assassin in the hugely popular Lethal Weapon (1987). In 1988, he was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. Years later, a psychiatrist suspected the injury had caused him to speak and act impulsively. In 1997, Busey had surgery to remove a golf-ball-sized cancerous tumour from his sinus cavity. His other film credits include Predator 2 (1990), Point Break (1991), Under Siege (1992), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) and Piranha 3DD (2012). In the summer of 2014, he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Quote: "I've been told by doctors and surgeons that I have the energy of ten men who have normal jobs."
Trivia: He voiced the character Phil Cassidy in the video games Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
