'The Enemy Within': 'Boyz n the Hood' star Morris Chestnut puts on his action hero hat for NBC's new show
Morris Chestnut has become a more conscious actor over the years and the recent roles he's played in TV and film have shown just how versatile he can be
"A lot of people come to 'Hollywood' thinking that all they just have to do is be different or do something outlandish or have a huge personality to become a star," Morris Chestnut told Kam Williams in an interview.
While the humble 50-year-old actor may be best known for his role as Ricky Baker opposite Ice Cube in John Singleton’s 'Boyz n the Hood', Chestnut now shies away from playing Hollywood's stereotypical roles. After being in the industry for almost three decades, the actor has learned to say no to roles in which he feels he would be sexually objectified.
