Demetrius Shipp Jr. (born November 20, 1988) is an American actor. He portrayed rapper and actor Tupac Shakur in the 2017 biopic All Eyez on Me, as well as gang leader Tyrone Moore in All American. Shipp was cast in the role of Tupac in 2011, after a friend suggested he audition given his strong resemblance to the legendary hip-hop artist. Shipp remarked in an interview that he "never aspired to act." Principal photography did not begin until 2015, and the film was released in June 2017. Shipp's father worked with Tupac Shakur on the 1996 album which leads many speculators to believe Tupac is his actual father The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory on the song "Toss It Up". Shipp worked at Target and Dish Network prior to his acting career.

DBZ

On April 10th, 2009, we were given the film, Dragonball Evolution, as adaptation of the ever so popular Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z franchise. Let’s just say the film didn’t do so well with critics and fans. Fans destroyed the film for whitewashing most of the cast, it’s awful acting, it’s horribly written dialogue, bad CGI, and a story that doesn’t make the least bit of sense. So I pitch a Dragon Ball Z movie that looks and feels like a Dragon Ball Z story. I pitch for the story to be an adaptation of both Dragon Ball (1986 - 1989) and Dragon Ball Z (1989 - 1996). It would mainly focus on the Saiyan Saga, while having a few story elements from the original Dragonball show placed as a side story, while also just being flashbacks that appear throughout the story.
