Minor edit.


He might be the spitting image of [[Music/IceCube his father]], but O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Born February 24, 1991) is far from a carbon copy.

* {{Nepotism}}: ''Pointedly'' averted by both him and his father. Ice Cube made him go through acting classes for ''Straight Outta Compton'', and the majority of O'Shea's roles so far have been completely different from his dad's, and, outside ''Compton'', unaffiliated with his father's production company, Cube Vision.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Like his dad, he started out as a rapper before transitioning to the silver screen, though his film roles have been a bit more diverse than [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist the roles his dad usually plays]].
* {{Nepotism}}: ''Pointedly'' averted by both him and his father. Ice Cube made him go through acting classes for ''Straight Outta Compton'', and the majority of O'Shea's roles so far have been completely different from his dad's, and, outside ''Compton'', unaffiliated with his father's production company, Cube Vision.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: It was practically on the strength of this alone he was cast as his father in ''Straight Outta Compton''.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He almost turned down playing his father in ''Compton'', until he realized he would've regretted it if someone else got the role.

Son of pioneering GangstaRap icon Music/IceCube, his early career took a somewhat similar career trajectory as his father's: Under the name "OMG", he first appeared with his brother Darrel "Doughboy" Jackson on two tracks from their father's 2010 album ''I Am The West'', and later released his own mixtape, ''Jackin' for Beats'', two years later. However, his biggest claim to fame is portraying his father in the Music/{{NWA}} biopic ''Film/StraightOuttaCompton'', both his first major motion picture, and his first starring role. Since then, Jackson has been featured in a variety of acclaimed leading and supporting roles, ranging from comedy to drama.
