He was the study for Ed Solomon's (Men in Black, Charlie's Angels, Imagine That) character Miles Evans for which Morgan Freeman played in the 2003 film Levity. He has been the subject an original autobiographical television pilot written by Jeff Fiskin (Cutter's Way, Revenge, The 60's, The 70's) and produced by Linda Obst (Adventures in Babysitting, Sleepless in Seattle, Contact) called Homeboyz dealing with the care and nurturing of hardened gang members and student dropouts in Watts and south central Los Angeles in the 1990's.
