I know I wasn’t the only person who was a huge fan of “New York Undercover” back in the day! Another Thursday night staple thanks to FOX, not only did I get to watch a version of “Law & Order” (minus the “Law” part) that I could relate to, but I got to see up and coming black actors get their start, and some of my favorite musicians from the ’90s do their thing (thanks to the lounge “Natalies” that was a staple at the end of every episode). The music was dope, the clothing was dope, and most of all, the show was dope. Make that amazing. It lost its heat around the last few seasons (especially after they got rid of Torres), but anytime I can catch it on Centric, I sit down and relive the ’90s. Wondering what some of our favorite characters from the show are doing and looking like now? We’ve got a few for you. Check it out, and again, be ready to click.

Malik Yoba

Yoba was the very fine, very smooth and very smart Det. J.C. Williams. He was best friends with Torres, father to “G,” and a lover of the ladies. He brought the heat and the eye candy on “New York Undercover,” and when it was over, Yoba wound up doing a little bit of everything. For instance, he did some singing (and had a lead role) in the David E. Talbert play, “His Woman, His Wife,” but he also kept on doing a lot of TV work. He had a guest role on “Arrested Development,” showed up on a series called “Bull,” had a recurring role as Joan’s love interest, Brock, on “Girlfriends,” and most recently starred in the Syphy series “Alphas.” You could also peep him in movies like Why Did I Get Married (and the sequel), Feel the Noise, and he just finished two new movies: Recalled and Caught on Tape. Yoba once said he has hopes to revive the TV series into a present-day version.

  • Mina

    Loved this show. They filmed an episode near my job once I kept going out to ‘run errands’ hoping Malik would notice me. Lord was I clueless!! Anyway I detect some nose jobs for some…No?

    Yup, this show was very swexy and very ‘cool’ back in the day. SO much so, that I actually bought the soundtrack! lol, I came across that cd recently and it was like whoa! Fave cut? Lil Shawn’s “Dom Perrignon”.

    BTW-Naomi was pretty good on this show. If she was a less talented model, I’d say she should have done acting, but I think she’s the best runway model of the past couple decades (and yes, I’m saying she slays Tyra, Linda & Giselle). This woman STALKED a runaway.

     My favorite was the bonny and clyde episode with the two young people ribbing banks. The episode was extra awesome because it had the original bonnie an clyde track with Yo-Yo and Ice Cube
