Ice Cube
Before he was an actor, O'Shea Jackson (Los Angeles, 1969) revolutionized hip-hop as Ice Cube, a central figure of the group N.W.A and a voice of West Coast rap. That street charisma carried over to film with his debut in 'Boyz n the Hood', a seminal drama about South Central Los Angeles, and with the comedy 'Friday', which he co-wrote and which became a franchise. Since then he has built a dual career as performer and producer, with commercial hits like the '21 Jump Street' saga or 'Barbershop'. Ice Cube commands a register that ranges from physical comedy to urban drama, always with an authenticity forged in his musical origins.
