GOSSIP:	Dogs apparently belonging to Rhames attacked and killed a caretaker at the actor's Los Angeles home. (Agust 3, 2007) Used his wife's experiences as a Los Angeles police detective to prepare for his new role as the rejuvenated Kojak. (March 28, 2005) Has signed with USA Network to a weekly series of Kojak, debuting in March 2005. (October 28, 2004) Rhames has been chosen to take on the starring role in a potential series of Kojak movies for cable television – Rhames has agreed to take the title role Lieutenant Theo Kojak in a re-vamped version of the classic police drama. (January 14, 2003) A burly, bald black actor of stage, screen, and television, Rhames specializes in playing villains and, indeed, having grown up on Harlem's meanest streets, is no stranger to violence. Though his upbringing in Harlem was rife with many temptations to engage in easy money criminal ventures, the deeply religious Rhames separated himself from street riffraff at a young age and focused his energies on school. Originally cast as Julian Washington in ANY GIVEN SUNDAY (1999), but dropped out because of scheduling conflicts. Despite being two of the main characters in OUT OF SIGHT and appearing in several key scenes together, Karen (J.Lo) and Buddy (Ving Rhames) never actually speak to each other. Was originally considered to play Manny in ICE AGE (2002). The band-aid on Marcellus Wallace's neck was there Rhames had a scar there that the makeup people felt wound be too distracting during that scene (PULP FICTION-1994). Though most of ROSEWOOD (1997) is based on true events, the film's main character, Mann (Rhames), is a fictional creation. Spent two years as part of the acting class of 1982 at the State University of New York at Purchase (SUNY Purchase) before returning to Julliard. Was given the nickname he goes by, Ving, by his one time roomate Stanley Tucci, when together for a time at SUNY Purchase. Nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries at Screen Actors Guild Awards for DON KING: ONLY IN AMERICA (1998) Nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie at Emmy Awards for DON KING: ONLY IN AMERICA (1998)
