Then & Now: 15 Photos Of The Cast Of Fast And Furious

4. Rick Yune

Yune was born in Washington DC but he is of Korean Descent. Before acting he actually qualified in Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He raised the money for his University tuition a number of ways. He tried his hand at modeling to bring in some extra cash. From there he was discovered by an agent and landed roles in Versace and Ralph Lauren adverts. Like many models, he became tired of posing in front of the camera and really wanted to make his break in the world of Hollywood. He has played a number of bad boy roles throughout his career and I feel like the suit him well. The one that comes to mind as I write about him would be the one in the James Bond movie Die Another Day. When he was chosen for the role he was just 31 and when he was interviewed about it once he said he was a little timid stepping on to the set but told himself he had to give it his best shot. I’d say he did a very good job. Love that film, what a classic. What’s your favorite movie that Rick Yune made an appearance in?

3. Johnny Strong

My girlfriend has the major hots for this guy, who can blame her. He’s like a fine wine he just gets better with age. He’s got that rugged handsome look, I really don’t know how they do it if I don’t shave my beard for two days I look like a homeless man. Johnny Strong is absolute man goals. As if his good looks weren’t endearing enough he has many strings to his bow, he’s an actor, musician, stuntman, and martial art kind of guy. Impressed yet? I know I certainly am. Aside from his acting career, he is the lead singer in the band Operator. Now, I’m not gay but after learning about him I feel like I would definitely turn for him. He really made his mark in Hollywood when he landed a role in the Steven Seagal film The Glimmer Man. It is unclear if he’s dating or married but one thing for sure is that my girlfriend would jump at the chance to go on a date with this girl, and who can blame her? Everyone loves a bit of rock and roll.

2. Ted Levine

He may be getting old but he sure has lived a good life. Ted Levine whose real name is actually Frank Theodore Levine, describes himself as a ‘hillbilly’ Jew. From a very early age, he became obsessed with theatre. He spent most of the 80s searching for roles in TV and film. His mainstream success came when he landed a role in The Silence of the Lambs. For a short while, he was known as the bad guy when it came to films. However, he was able to remedy this by playing more positive characters such as a member of Al Pacino’s police unit in Heat. My heart goes out to this fellow after trying to hard to crack the film industry he finally did it and that for me is super inspiring. He never gave up and he deserves his success because he is one damn talented actor. I hope his career doesn’t come to an end soon because we can’t wait to see what he appears in next.

1. Ja Rule

Ja Rule, what a complete legend! This dude is synonymous with the hits I listened to back as a teenager. Love him. You may be surprised to learn that his real name is actually Jeffrey Edward Atkins but he is better known by his stage name Ja Rule. He has achieved many great things over the span of his life. He is a rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, record executive, and actor. He is originally from Queens, New York but now reside in multiple abodes all over the world. His most notable hits include ‘Always On Time’ and ‘I’m Real’. They really don’t make music like they used to. I know I sound like a complete grandad when I say that but if you go to YouTube after reading this post and listen to some of his tunes you will become hooked. He’s got some absolute bangers. The only time you ever hear them now is when you step into an old school RnB club. Who knows what he’s up to these days but he certainly has aged well. We wish him all the success in the world and we definitely think he should make a comeback with a killer tune and put the rubbish Sean Paul to bed once and for all.
