In 1992 at the tender age of 21, I auditioned for the lead in the Motion Picture Juice with actor "Duane Martin" the husband to actress Tisha Campbell After a few call backs the director decided to give the part to "Tupac Shakur" and "Omar Epps"
Being close to my first starring role in a motion picture was great after both Duane and I seen the movie, i think
Tupac was a great choice!!!
