As the VH1 biopic about mega trio TLC, Crazy, Sexy, Cool: The TLC Story, gets underway, the cast continues to grow.
Deadline.com announces that Diana Ross' son, 24-year-old actor Evan Ross, has been chosen to play producer Dallas Austin, TLC’s longtime producer and ex-boyfriend of Rozonda “Chili” Thomas, played by Keke Palmer.
Ross is good friends with Austin; the two worked together on the movie ATL, which was Ross’ first film and a film production credit for Dallas.
Other cast members include rapper Lil Mama as Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, Drew Sidora as Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, and actor-model Donny Boaz as the group’s longtime manager Bill Diggins.
Diana Ross’ son Evan Ross is set to play a major role in an upcoming biopic about the iconic R&B girl group TLC. He will be portraying producer Dallas Austin, who has worked with some of music’s biggest stars including Madonna and Michael Jackson. This movie promises to be a riveting look into the rise of one of the most influential groups of the ’90s – both musically and culturally.
Evan Ross is no stranger to Hollywood. The actor/musician rose to fame during his teenage years when he made appearances on hit TV shows such as “90210” and “The Famous Jett Jackson.” His career began to take off after appearing in films such as “ATL” (2006) and “Jeff Who Lives at Home” (2011). Now, he will have the chance to show his range by taking on a real-life character from behind-the-scenes of the industry.
This project marks yet another milestone for Diana Ross’ family dynasty, which includes daughter Tracee Ellis Ross (“blackish”) and granddaughter Riley Keough (“Mad Max: Fury Road”). With this casting announcement, fans everywhere are eagerly awaiting what promises to be an exciting film that takes viewers through TLC’s journey from humble beginnings in Atlanta all the way up their legendary success story!
Cast And Crew Of Tlc Biopic
The cast and crew of the upcoming TLC biopic are starting to come together. VH1 recently announced that actor Evan Ross, son of legendary singer Diana Ross, will be taking on the role of producer Dallas Austin in the movie. This casting is a major step forward for the project, which has been highly anticipated by fans since it was first announced.
Austin had produced several albums for TLC during their heyday, including FanMail and 3D. He also worked with other artists such as Pink and Madonna throughout his career. His influence on popular music from the 90s cannot be understated. Having him portrayed accurately in this film is incredibly important to all involved.
Evan Ross seems like an ideal choice to portray Austin; he already looks a lot like him, and clearly has a talent for acting based on his previous roles in films such as ATLand The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. We’re excited to see what kind of performance he brings to this part! With production expected to begin soon, we can look forward to seeing more details about the rest of the cast and crew released in due course.
Evan Ross’s Role In The Project
Evan Ross’s involvement in the TLC biopic is an exciting one, and his ability to capture the essence of Dallas Austin should be interesting to watch. Not only does he look like him, but Ross has a long list of acting experience that will serve him well for this role. He has appeared in films such as ATL, Joyful Noise, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and many more. It’s clear that his Hollywood pedigree is a perfect fit for this project.
The pressure of playing someone so influential won’t faze Evan Ross either; after all he grew up with music royalty surrounding him. His mother Diana Ross’ career spans over 50 years, making her one of the most recognizable names in show business. Having grown up around such talent no doubt gave young Evan insight into how iconic figures move and act on stage or screen – something invaluable when it comes to portraying someone else accurately onscreen.
It should be fascinating to see how Evan Ross brings life to Dallas Austin’s character and how his performance shapes the rest of the film. With production expected to begin soon, we can look forward to seeing more details about it released shortly.
Conclusion
I am excited to see Evan Ross take on the role of Dallas Austin in the upcoming TLC biopic. His talent and dedication to portraying a real-life character will surely bring an authentic feel to this production. It’s also great that he is following in his mother, Diana Ross’, footsteps by delving into acting.
It should be interesting to watch how he brings Dallas Austin to life through his performance. I’m sure it’ll be entertaining as well as inspiring for fans of both Evan Ross and TLC alike. With him joining the cast, there’s no doubt that this movie has all the ingredients needed for success!
Overall, I can’t wait to see what Evan Ross does with his part in this project. He has already achieved much acclaim as a musician, actor, and model – but now he gets to show off even more of his range. Here’s hoping we get some amazing scenes from him when the film comes out!
