RZA To Co-Star In Fox's "Gang Related

[mson]

RZA has been tapped to co-star in Fox's Gang Related, marking his first series regular role.

According to THR, the Wu-Tang Clan member will appear alongside Ramon Rodriguez who stars as Ryan Lopez, a "gang member sent to infiltrate the San Francisco Police Department and rise through its ranks. He must balance his obligations to his crime family -- the gang from his old neighborhood -- with an increasing sense of loyalty to his new *'family,' the SFPD's Gang Task Force."

RZA will play the role of Lopez's best friend Cassius, who is also on the Gang Task Force. Cassius was inspired to join the Force after the object of his affection was slain and was only met with ambivalence by the community. The cast will also include Jay Hernandez, Sung Kang and Inbar Lavi, and Chris Morgan (Fast and Furious) will pen the pilot.

The rapper-turned-actor most recently made his directorial debut with The Man with the Iron Fists. He will also serve as executive producer for Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge's upcoming album Twelve Reasons to Die, releasing on April 16th.

The formula sounds generic but the twist is that there is a gang member sent in to infiltrate the unit which sounds intriguing.

“There’s a twist in the sense you have all these different agencies coming together – DEA, FBI, NSA, LAPD – and they form this gang task force whose mission is to go out and stop the crime.”

“Gang Related” centers on Ryan Lopez (“Charlie’s Angels’” Ramon Rodriguez), a gang member sent to infiltrate the San Francisco Police Department and rise through its ranks. He must balance his commitments to his crime family — the gang from his old neighborhood — with an increasing sense of loyalty to his new “family,” the San Francisco Police Department’s Gang Task Force.

I'm the biggest RZA stan but I do my best to avoid everything associated with FOX, consequently I will not be watching this.

I guess we can forget about that new Wu-Tang album happening. Props to RZA though he deserves it. I'm glad he's making it in Hollywood, anyway that the Wu legacy lives on is cool with me

Nah, the new Wu album is happening. Expect that 20th anniversary album sometime this year, hopefully this Summer.
