The prolific, multi-talented actor VING RHAMES (Kenneth) not only received an Emmy nomination but also won the Golden Globe Award for his role as Don King in the telefilm Don King: Only in America. He was also awarded the Golden Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Martin Scorsese’s Bringing Out the Dead, starring opposite Nicolas Cage; and received a Blockbuster Entertainment Award nomination for best supporting actor for his role in Entrapment, with Catherine Zeta- Jones and Sean Connery. He will next return as Luther Stickell, opposite Tom Cruise, in Mission: Impossible 3. Additional upcoming projects include starring with Ja Rule in director James Hunter’s Back in the Day, and headlining as the titular legendary boxer in The Sonny Liston Story.
Having gone down in pop culture history for his role as Marsellus “we’re gonna get medieval on your ass” Wallace in Quentin Tarantino’s seminal Pulp Fiction, Rhames has continued to win fans with such performances as Shad in Striptease, Mann in Rosewood (for which he won an Image Award for Best Actor), Mel in Baby Boy (again for Rosewood director John Singleton), Nathan ‘Diamond Dog’ Jones in Con Air, Buddy Bragg in Out of Sight, Luther Stickell in the original Mission: Impossible and its sequel, and Deputy Chief Arthur Holland in Dark Blue, to name a few.
On the small screen, Rhames was nominated for a Best Actor Image Award for his role as Garrick Jones in the television movie Sins of the Father. He also starred as John Morgan in Little John and Judge Jones in RFK. In the television series UC: Undercover, he starred as Quito Real and received his second Image Award. The actor also lent his voice (as narrator) to the television documentary Robert F. Kennedy: A Memoir.
