The Resume

    (August 17, 1961- )
    Born in New York City, New York
    Portrayed Lamar Latrell in the 'Revenge of the Nerds' film series
    Also appeared in 'A Hero Ain't Nothin But a Sandwich' (1978), 'The Karate Kid' (1984), 'That Was Then... This Is Now' (1985), 'Iron Eagle' (1986), 'Space Camp' (1986), 'Snake Eater II: The Drug Buster' (1989), 'Fear of a Black Hat' (1994), 'The Bad Pack' (1998) and 'Getting Played' (2005)
    Provided the voice of Paladin in the video game 'Diablo II'

Why he might be annoying:

    In his film debut, he had a lengthy nude scene, where his teenaged character is stripped and bathed by his mother.
    He was typecast, noting, 'After Lamar, they wanted to cast me as every black and gay character.'
    As a result, he turned down the Meshach Taylor role in 'Mannequin.'
    In interviews about 'Revenge of the Nerds,' he makes sure to point out that he, unlike Lamar Latrell, is definitely not gay.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Ironically, given his later complaints about typecasting, he found Latrell a welcome change from playing stereotyped thugs: 'Most of my roles were like, 'You cut me, man!'
    He said the secret of playing Latrell was, 'I just let out my feminine side. Just let it go and don't worry about anyone else.'
    He improvised much of his rap at the homecoming carnival in 'Nerds.'
    He operates an acting studio, W.I.T (Whatever It Takes) Filmwerks.
