I probably shouldn’t have to tell you what Sam Jackson’s been up to since – it seems like he appears in at least three movies a year. Jackson is in Menace for about only two minutes, but his scene is as memorable as any. Now that you been out the joint two weeks don’t you think it’s about time you gave me my money? Even if it isn’t picked up, I’m sure we will be seeing a lot more of Larenz Tate. Tate later played Quincy Jones in Ray, and he currently plays Bart in the very underrated “Rescue Me.” According to his website, Tate was shooting a CBS pilot called “Waterfront” with Joe Pantiolano and William Baldwin. He landed the lead as Frankie Lymon in Why Do Fools Fall in Love, showing his range as an actor, as Lymon is really nothing at all like O-Dog. After Menace, Tate appeared in The Inkwell, and then reunited with the Hughes Brothers in Dead Presidents. Tate played, in my opinion, the most memorable character from Menace, and his strong performance paid off – he’s been getting steady work in film and television ever since. Sure, he got to rap a little with The Geto Boys, but you’d think that maybe MC Eiht could help him out a bit. Apparently, Turner tried to milk the character of Caine for all it was worth, as he used that moniker when signing with Rap-A-Lot Records, but unfortunately, his album never came out.

Turner’s appeared in some pretty forgettable movies since Menace, such as The Method, Soldier Boyz, and Belly, and the one decent movie (and I am using this term very loosely) he did appear in – How High – he was uncredited. Turner’s most prominent role in his career is that of Caine, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that – Caine rules.
After the jump, take a look at where the cast of Menace II Society is now.
I’m of the opinion that Boyz is a vastly superior movie, but that doesn’t mean that Menace II Society isn’t great and, like Boyz, Menace has its share of memorable cast members. Released in 1993 and directed by the Hughes Brothers, Menace made Boyz look like a Disney movie. This week, I figured we could take a look at the cast of the movie that almost always gets compared to its struggle-in-the-ghetto-themed counterpart, Menace II Society.
A little over a week ago, we took a look at what the cast of Boyz N The Hood was up to.
