Part of the body you notice most: Legs—they control the way a woman moves. The more appealing a woman’s legs are, the more appealing she can be.
Ideal date: We would start with a brunch before we go shopping for the dress she’ll be wearing later that evening. After shopping, a quick trip for massages and cocktails, after which we can get ready for the evening. Dinner and a stage play can put you in a pleasant and relaxed mood that’s great for a dip in the hot tub to cap the night off. The rest we can play by ear.
Favorite movies: Rocky (the entire collection), Coming to America, American Gangster and The Haunting in Georgia
Professional accomplishments: I am proud of the fact that I’ve been able to establish myself internationally as an actor without having to make the move to Los Angeles. My latest film is The Haunting in Georgia. Also, my character, Dante, on VH1’s new show, Single Ladies, is getting more intense each episode. I’m probably the proudest of the work done by the entire production company Pyramid Pictures for our work on OSIRIS: The Series.
Greatest life ambition: To leave a legacy that matters and still enjoy life while I’m here. Many people who have done things to change the world have done so at the expense of living their own lives. My ambition is to do better.
Secret obsession: Crosses. I have them tattooed on me, and I usually find a way to wear them in clothes and jewelry.
Unique quirk: I mostly buy long-sleeved shirts, but always seem to have the sleeves rolled up... it just feels better that way.
Something people would never guess about you: I was in a rap group in high school, and, yes, I was good.
Celebs you’ve been star-struck by: None so far. Of course I still have yet to meet Janet Jackson, but I’ll be fine... I think.
