Biografia:

Wesley Trent Snipes (nato il 31 luglio 1962) è un attore e artista marziale americano. Snipes ha realizzato film in una varietà di generi, come numerosi thriller, film drammatici e commedie, anche se è noto soprattutto per i suoi film d'azione. È stato nominato all'Independent Spirit Award come Miglior Protagonista Maschile per il suo ruolo in The Waterdance (1992) e ha vinto la Volpi Cup come Miglior Attore per la sua interpretazione nel film One Night Stand (1997). Nato in Florida, Snipes ha avuto ruoli di rilievo nel film comico Major League (1989), nel dramma Mo' Better Blues (1990) e nel crime drama King of New York (1990), prima di guadagnare notorietà interpretando un signore della droga nel crime drama New Jack City (1991). Successivamente ha ricevuto maggiore attenzione per il film drammatico Jungle Fever (1991), la commedia sportiva White Men Can't Jump (1992) e il film d'azione Passenger 57 (1992). Da allora ha recitato in vari generi, come la commedia To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995), il thriller The Fan (1996) e il film drammatico Down in the Delta (1998), ma si affermò soprattutto come star d'azione, interpretando eroi e cattivi in film come Demolition Man (1993), Rising Sun (1993), Money Train (1995) e U.S. Marshals (1998). Sempre nel 1998, è stato scelto per interpretare Eric Brooks/BBlade nel film di supereroi Blade, basato sull'omonimo supereroe dei fumetti Marvel, ruolo che ha poi ripreso in Blade II (2002), Blade: Trinity (2004) e Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). Snipes ha avuto ruoli minori negli anni 2000 e si è spostato verso film d'azione direct-to-video prima di tornare nelle sale con film come Brooklyn's Finest (2009) e The Expendables 3 (2014). Il suo lavoro televisivo include diversi episodi nella serie drammatica H.E.L.P. (1990), nella serie d'azione thriller e crime The Player (2015) e nella miniserie drammatica True Story (2021), oltre al film romantico Disappearing Acts (2000). Nel 1991 fondò una casa di produzione, Amen-Ra Films, e una controllata Black Dot Media per sviluppare progetti per cinema e televisione. Snipes si allena nelle arti marziali dall'età di 12 anni, ottenendo una cintura nera di quinta danza in karate Shotokan e una cintura nera di seconda in Hapkido. Gli viene attribuito il merito di aver contribuito a diffondere le arti marziali a Hollywood e di portarle al pubblico generale, oltre a contribuire alla rappresentazione di attori neri in ruoli d'azione, rompendo gli stereotipi. Nel 2017, Snipes ha debuttato come romanziere con l'avventura soprannaturale urban fantasy Talon of God.
