More than a few actresses started their professional careers as models, but Tyson Beckford is one of the few men to follow that career arc. Beckford escaped a rough childhood after being noticed by a fashion expert who worked for the magazine The Source. He quickly rose to the top of the ladder, working with such celebrated names as Herb_Ritts. In the early '90s, he began a long association with Ralph_Lauren. As the 21st century dawned, Beckford segued into an acting career with appearances in some small films, eventually landing substantial parts in the action films Biker_Boyz and Into the Blue.
