Laz Alonso Detailed Biography -
His neighborhood was predominantly African American. He attended the renound historically black university in D.C., Howard University, and eventually came to host for BET. But, Alonso's goal from the beginning was to be an actor. Thinking to himself he couldn't just waste his business degree and wanting to fulfill his mother's wishes, he accepted a job on Wall Street working for Merill Lynch. But that was not where he wanted to be. Later, he quit to pursue acting.
In 2000, Alonso appeared in the HBO film Disappearing Acts (2000), based on the Terry MacMillan novel, with Wesley Snipes and Sanaa Lathan, affording him the opportunity to work under director Gina Prince-Bythewood. He has also starred in 30 Years to Life (2001) and Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood. The sculpted brother can also be seen in Land of Opportunity, a Puerto Rican love story set in Washington Heights.
