Actors - Tyson Beckford

Tyson Craig Beckford (born December 19, 1970 in Bronx, New York) is an American supermodel, the son of a Jamaican father and a biracial (Jamaican/ Chinese-American) mother. He is known worldwide for his muscular physique, facial structure, and tattoos; and also as the lead model for Ralph Lauren. He is also reported to be one of the highest paid and richest male supermodels in the world.

In his early life, Beckford was a gang member and involved in crime including the sale and distribution of illegal narcotics. In 1991, he was recruited to hip hop magazine The Source by a talent scout who had come across him by chance in a New York park. In 1993, Beckford was recruited by Ralph Lauren as the front model for the company's Polo line of male sportswear. Beckford's fame continued to rise, and he was named "Man of the Year" in 1995 by VH1, as well as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World by People magazine.

In June 2005, Beckford was injured in a car accident near his home. The truck caught fire, and Beckford was able to pull himself out before it became fully engulfed in flames. The accident had a profound effect on his spirtuality, which he later revealed on the Oprah Winfrey
Show.
