Laz Alonso, who took a beating from Regina King in last year's This Christmas, will get to inflict some pain on his own as he's just been cast as the villain in the untitled fourth installment of "The Fast and the Furious" franchise alongside Vin Diesel and Paul Walker.
According to Variety, Alonso will play an intimidating street racer who works for a druglord.
His upcoming credits include Spike Lee's 'Miracle at St. Anna' and James Cameron's 'Avatar.'
From television appearances on various shows, to supporting roles in 'Jarhead' with Jamie Foxx, and 'Stomp The Yard' with Columbus Short, this Howard University grad is definitely moving up in the right directions.

I remember Laz Alonso when he was the Host of BET AM Wake-Up Show in the late 90's - early 2000's. He was cute then and he is cute now! He was the sexiest Afro-Cuban/American Marine in the the movie Jarhead and in Stomp the Yard and This Christmas. Now, he's going to play the bad guy... OH YES! Looks like I will have to go and see the 4th Fast and The Furious. LOL

I think Obama is making a change because I am seeing so any black, brown faces on tv news and upcoming movies. Keep on moving people -- its time!
