A voice across music and film
Born O’Shea Jackson, Ice Cube became known as a member of the Los Angeles rap group N.W.A before developing a solo music career. His writing and performance became a foundation for work in another medium: film.
His film acting debut came in John Singleton’s Boyz n the Hood (1991), where he played Doughboy. He then co-wrote and starred in the 1995 comedy Friday, showing a different rhythm from the drama of his first film.
His later screen work includes Barbershop and the 2025 version of War of the Worlds. In the latter he plays Will Radford, a security analyst facing an unexplained attack.
The films below are those available on FLM.RED, not his complete filmography.
