Orlando, Florida, USA:
Der in Tanz, Gesang und Schauspielerei ausgebildete US-Amerikaner Wesley Snipes wurde in den 1990ern zu einem der bekanntesten Action-Stars in Hollywood. In Filmen wie Passagier 57, Demolition Man und Auf der Jagd bewies der Schauspieler seine hohe physische Leinwandpräsenz und spielte sich, auch dank seiner hervorragenden Kampfkünste, in die obere Liga der Stars dieses Genres. Seinen ersten Karriereerfolg verzeichnete Wesley Snipes auf eher ungewöhnliche Weise. Mit einer Rolle im Musikvideo “Bad” von Michael Jackson konnte der Schauspieler 1987 das erste Mal auf sich aufmerksam machen. Bereits ein Jahr zuvor gab er sein Leinwand-Debüt in American Wildcats. In dem Football-Film spielte Wesley Snipes an der Seite von Woody Harrelson, der Snipes bei seinem Durchbruch im Jahre 1992 erneut als Schauspielkollege zur Seite stehen sollte. Heute gilt Wesley Snipes als Garant für actionreiche Filme und hat sich nach einer Vielzahl erfolgreicher Kinofilme, darunter die Vampir-Reihe Blade, in den letzten Jahren vor allem auf Direct-to-DVD-Produktionen konzentriert. Neben der Schauspielerei ist die Musik die große Passion von Wesley Snipes. Der Schauspieler soll über 1000 Platten und mehr als 4000 CDs besitzen.
