Biography:
Having given up his dream of playing professional football, Morris Chestnut received immediate recognition in his first feature role as Ricky Baker, the promising young athlete cut tragically down in John Singleton's powerful coming of age film, "Boyz N the Hood" (1991). His impressive debut led to supporting work in "In the Line of Duty: Street War" (NBC, 1992) and the title role of the Disney Channel's "The Ernest Green Story" (1993), as well as a part in Matty Rich's feature "The Inkwell" (1994). Chestnut showed his action hero chops for "Under Siege I: Dark Territory" (1995), with Steven Segal, and was one of the NAVY SEAL recruits alongsied Demie More in "G.I. Jane (1997).
 His first experience as a series regular came in short-lived NBC sitcom Out All Night (1992-93), starring Patti LaBelle, and returned to series work (this time in drama) for ABCs C-16 (1997-98),  playing an FBI recruit fresh out of training. He also acted in Malcolm Lees directorial debut, The Best Man (1999). In 2001, Chestnut starred in The Brothers, solidifying both his acting talent and his sex symbol status.
