Wesley Trent Snipes was discovered by an agent while acting in a competition. That was his introduction into the movie world as he acted in the movie Goldie Hawn in 1986.

Some many years later he produced his biggest movie of all time, “Blade” and till today the movie is still selling accumulating over $ 150 million worldwide.

Wesley is one actor that has been turned down several times like when he auditioned & lobbied hard for the role of Leroy Green in the 1985 cult classic movie The Last Dragon but the role was given to Taimak instead.

Snipes’s performance in the Micheal Jackson’s music video “Bad” caught the eye of director Spike Lee and he later got some major roles in movies like Mo’better blues and Jungle fever.

In 2005, he sued New Line Cinema and David S. Goyer, the film’s studio and director, respectively. He claimed that the studio did not pay his full salary, that he was intentionally cut out of casting decisions, and that his character’s screen time was reduced in favor of co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel. The suit was later settled, but no details were released.

He has discussed reprising the role of Blade as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Trinity was his last theatrical release in the U.S. until 2010.

In 1997, he won the Best Actor Volpi Cup at the 54th Venice Film Festival for his performance in New Line Cinema’s One Night Stand. He also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and an honorary doctorate in humanities and fine arts from his alma mater, SUNY/Purchase.
