• Larenz Tate is an African-American film and television actor. He is the youngest of three sibling actors. At the age of nine his family moved to California. Convinced by their parents to enter a drama program at the Inner City Cultural Center, the trio didn't take the lessons seriously until classmate Malcolm-Jamal Warner's ascent to fame after being cast in the The Cosby Show. The siblings began to receive small roles and in 1985, Tate made his small-screen debut in an episode of The Twilight Zone. Following appearances in such popular television series as 21 Jump Street and The Wonder Years, Tate was cast in a recurring role in the popular family sitcom Family Matters. Tate's big break came in late 1992 when Albert and Allen Hughes approached him to star in their debut feature Menace II Society. Tate's career continued to flourish with subsequent roles in such films as Dead Presidents, Love Jones, The Postman, the Frankie Lymon biopic Why Do Fools Fall in Love, Crash and Ray
