Tyrone Jackson as Clarence
Clarence was the student who had a smart mouth and overly active hormones. He could do an on-point imitation of “Mr. Clark,” and also insult “the loud mouthed wench.”
Tyrone Jackson had been acting since 1977, appearing in films like The African Queen, Ashanti and Enemy Territory.” After Lean on Me he continued to act and have parts in “New York Cop,” and “A Shock to the System,” and he also provided his voice for the video game “Def Jam Fight for NY” in 2004. After that, he decided to go behind the scenes and work as a “grip” for movie productions.
