5
6	Irving Rameses "Ving" Rhames was born May 12, 1959 in [[BigApplesauce New York City]]. He discovered a love of acting in High School, and got his start in the Broadway play ''The Winter Boys'', and from there worked in a number of {{Soap Opera}}s and supporting roles until his big break as crime boss Marcellus Wallace in ''Film/PulpFiction''.
7
8	He has since worked in the ''[[Film/MissionImpossibleFilmSeries Mission: Impossible]]'' film series (to this day, he is the only actor outside of Creator/TomCruise to have appeared in every film in it), ''Film/ConAir'', ''Film/{{Dawn of the Dead\|2004}}'' (2004), and even ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'', among many other roles. Unfortunately, much of his more recent output has consisted of DirectToVideo movies. He is also the current spokesman for UsefulNotes/{{Arbys}} in their "We Have the Meats" campaign.
