Within moments of arriving, a redhead taking our dinner order distracts him. She smiles, then shies away. That part went to Cuba Gooding Jr. But when Turner met the Hugheses, the process was merely a formality.
He made the most of his break at first. In the aftermath of the Rodney King incident, the subsequent L. Dre, and Snoop Doggy Dogg emerging as the most popular and controversial rappers in the world. Singleton became the first African American Best Director Oscar nominee in history, and the film was praised for its dramatic realism and depth. In retrospect, it looks restrained next to Menace II Society.
Boyz showed audiences how to apply to college; Menace featured a primer on cooking crack cocaine. On the night of the premiere, Turner realized his life would never be the same again. Fame had its drawbacks, of course. He was mobbed on routine trips to the grocery store.
Playing basketball in the park was out of the question. His mother was 15 when he was born, and she was often out of the house by 7 a. At 5, he was taking public transportation unaccompanied. Around this time, he began hanging around dice games. The older kids in the neighborhood gravitated toward him, and when he was 12 years old, he lost his virginity to a year-old girl. I jumped on the handlebars, my homeboy drove me over there, and we went through the window and went in there and, you know.
I went with my friend. The first time I had sex, it was a train. Life moved fast for Turner, but unlike the character that defines him, he managed to duck gang life. One day, he was caught stealing a pair of Vans from a department store and sent home, where his mother tossed him in the bathtub, ran the water, and pelted him with an extension cord.
His uncle Rock Richmond, a former defensive back for the San Antonio Gunslingers of the USFL, told him never to drink or smoke, and he joined the baseball team after befriending future major leaguer Garret Anderson.
But what Turner truly loved was performing, and despite receiving a D in drama class, he decided to become an actor. It may have been his undoing. Roles like that came up, but never came through.

He was charismatic, and the older kids in his neighborhood drifted towards him; by the time he was 12, he lost his virginity to a girl four years older.
Turner was a good kid growing up, and he was able to stay out of gang-related activities thanks to his mother, who gave him a good whooping when he was caught stealing a pair of Vans from a department store. She tossed him in the bathtub and had the water running before she pelted him with an extension cord. It was an experience he would never forget, and it helped him steer clear of gangs, instead choosing to hang around family and ultimately remaining a good kid.
Turner did not do very well in drama class, but he had a passion for performing, and despite his poor grades, he decided he would become an actor.
In an interview with Vlad TV, he revealed that the moment came when he joined his cousin on a trip to an acting workshop. There, he acted a commercial and was praised by the instructor who called him a natural — he got his agent from a showcase at the same workshop. From then he took acting classes while working to keep his talent as raw and natural as possible.
