- <p> It has taken LARRY FISHBURNE half a lifetime to become an
- overnight success. His performance as the moral powerhouse
- Furious Styles in John Singleton's 1991 Boyz N the Hood thrust
- him to the forefront of African-American stars, but Fishburne
- made his first film at 14: the two-year trial by fire of Francis
- Coppola's Apocalypse Now. Spielberg's The Color Purple and Spike
- Lee's School Daze followed. But Boyz has opened the floodgates:
- in April alone, Fishburne made his Broadway debut in Two Trains
- Running as an engaging but irresponsible ex-con while starring
- as an upright policeman in the movie thriller Deep Cover. "I've
- always been confident that I could tackle just about anything."
