In 1991, he embarked onto a serious acting career, playing a police detective in Mario Van Peebles' film New Jack City. Many other films followed. Ice T did a notable lead role performance in Surviving the Game in addition to his many supporting roles. He has also appeared in films such as R'Xmas by Abel Ferrara and Tank Girl.
