Don't quote me,but believe John Singleton originally wrote it with Tupac in mind as the lead role,not Tyrese.
sorry for mentioining baby boy again I know how TAN feels about it but I went to bed early last night
As Jody, Tyrese was a text book mama’s boy with two kids of his own by two different women. However, the part was originally meant to be played by Tupac
Shakur. But after Shakur was murdered in Las Vegas, production for the film
was suspended. In the movie Tyrees’ character Jody is an avid Tupac fan and
has a picture of him on his wall. Ironically, the role of Rodney (played by Snoop Dogg) was to be played by none other than Ice Cube.
But on another note job interview went well this morning, 5 minutes after I left they called me back to go out in the field with them tomorrow for a "second interview" and to see how things are done, and to see if its still something Id be interested in doing. Dont think they would do that if I didnt get it
