BlackTree TV's Jamaal Finkley sits down to talk to Mr. Terry Crews about how he made a transfer from a professional football career in the NFL to forging a professional relationship with Ice Cube that helped launch his acting career. We also discuss what it feels like to blow 100 Grand Fast in this interview for his new movie Lottery Ticket.
a little about Terry Crews....
TERRY CREWS (Jimmy The Driver) traded in his NFL football helmet and cleats to pursue an acting career and become the ultimate family man. He is now more commonly known for his natural wit and comedic timing in his family's new hit BET reality series, "The Family Crews," which BET ordered for a second season.
Additionally, Crews stars in the TBS comedy series "Are We There Yet?," produced by Ice Cube, revisiting the role Ice Cube played in the hit film of the same name. His other television credits include a series regular role on "Everybody Hates Chris" and recent appearances on "Harsh Times," "Inland Empire" and "Street Kings."
After retiring from the NFL in 1997 to pursue acting, Crews had a stint as T-Money on "Battle Dome," modeled on "American Gladiators." In 2000, he made his big-screen debut in "The 6th Day." Since then, he has landed roles in "Serving Sara," "Friday After Next," "Deliver Us from Eva," "Malibu's Most Wanted," "Starsky & Hutch," "Soul Plane," "White Chicks," "Idiocracy," "The Longest Yard," "The Expendables" and "Middle Men."
Crews was born in Flint, Michigan and attended Flint Southwestern Academy, earning an Art Excellence Scholarship to attend the Interlochen Center for the Arts, and then Western Michigan University. While completing his studies as an art major, Crews was a key member of the WMU football team, where he earned all-conference honors as a defensive end. Crews was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 1991. He carved out a career in the NFL that lasted six seasons, including stints with the Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles.
