Faizon Love
Faizon Love (born Langston Faizon Santisima ; June 14, 1968) is a Cuban-American actor.
Most of Love's publicity materials state that he was born in Newark, New Jersey, but other publicity sources give his birthplace as either Santiago de Cuba or San Diego, California.
Love got his start as a stand-up comedian and made his acting debut in an Off-Broadway at the age of 19. His first film Bebe's Kids had him providing the voice of Robin Harris. Harris died before production began and Love replaced him with an accurate impression. He then had a role in The Meteor Man starring Robert Townsend. Townsend then cast Love in a co-starring role on his sitcom The Parent 'Hood .
He followed up this role with a breakout performance as the drug dealer Big Worm in the film Friday in 1995. Follow-up films have included Elf , Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood , Money Talks , Wonderland , The Fighting Temptations , and Idlewild .
Video gamers may know Love as the voice of Sean "Sweet" Johnson from Rockstar Games's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas . Love is also featured on the track "Freaky Thangs" by rapper Ludacris.
The name Faizon bears remarkable similarity to the French, 'faisons', pronounced similarly, an imperative conjugation of the verb 'faire', meaning 'let's make' or 'let's do'.
