Ice-T
While Snipes didn’t want to be a drug dealer, Ice-T, a gangster rapper, didn’t want to be a cop because of his strong ties to the Crips. Plus, he thought the role, especially if the movie stunk, would ruin his reputation and subsequently his rap career. But Ice T’ really got into the role. I still can’t forget that line of his: “I want to shoot you so bad my d**k is hard.” (Eeww) His performance wasn’t too bad and was celebrated at the time. But perhaps after Ice-T felt the need to earn some of that street cred back. And then “Cop Killer” was born. But T can’t escape the cop role, he’s played “Fin” on Law and Order SVU for years.
