LL Cool J starred in 2003 with Colin Farrell and Samuel Jackson in the hit action film “S.W.A.T.” Named ShoWest's 2003 “Male Star of Tomorrow,” he was recently seen in “Mindhunters,” re-teaming with director Renny Harlin, and will next be seen in the drama thriller “Edison” starring Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, and Justin Timberlake. He also recently shot Green Street Films' “Slow Burn,” opposite Ray Liotta and Taye Diggs.

LL Cool J began his career as a hugely successful rap artist, emerging in 1984 as the flagship artist for Def Jam Records. A two-time Grammy Award winner with ten consecutive platinum albums, his latest effort, DEFinition, was released last summer.

In 2002 LL wrote the children's book, And the Winner Is…, part of Scholastic's series of books and CD's by rap stars called Hip Kid Hop. It tells the story of a young basketball player who learns the importance on winning and losing gracefully. He also penned a 1997 autobiography I Make My Own Rules, and launched the record label Rock the Bells.

LL Cool J currently lives in New York with his wife and four children.
