Biography
Born in Orlando, FL, on July 31, 1962, Wesley Snipes grew up in the Bronx. He developed an early interest in acting and attended Manhattan's High School for the Performing Arts. His mother moved him back to Florida before he could graduate, but after finishing up high school in Florida, Snipes attended the State University of New York-Purchase and began pursuing an acting career. It was while performing in a competition that he was discovered by an agent, and a short time later he made his film debut in the Goldie Hawn vehicle Wildcats. One of his first really good movies was Major League, but he was not in the sequel or the prequel. Years later he went on to do Blade I and II and those are two of my favorite movies.
