Mission: Impossible 2: Ving Rhames was born and raised in Harlem and caught the acting bug early, working his way through two of America's most noted acting academies - first the High School Of Art and Music and Performing Arts (made famous in the film Fame) and then the Drama Division of Juilliard School. In M:i-2 he reprises his role as Luther Stickel and he is currently working on another Tom Cruise production Night Train, where he will play legendary boxer Sonny Liston. Previously Rhames played boxing impresario Don King in HBO's Don King: Only In America, for which he won a Golden Globe Award that he promptly gave to his acting inspiration Jack Lemmon.
