Quentin Taratino said Lawrence Fishburne’s performance in King of New York was so incredible he thought - “he could be the greatest actor of his generation”. He explains:
"As great as Christopher Walken is in this movie. To me, it's Larry Fishburne's movie - it was the rock that becomes a diamond aspect of the movie. It's why I could defend this movie against all comers, because to me, Fish's performance in this movie was comparable to a young Brando.
It was the most exciting performance by an actor of his generation that I'd seen in a movie of that time. And I thought, well, that's it. There is a new Marlon Brando, and his name is Larry Fishburne - it was amazing, it was mesmerizing…
He is the first hip hop gangster in movie history. That character had never been done before this. He invented that character. And he invented it as something to do. It wasn't in the original script. He came up with that himself…
The three big Fishburne moments to me, is his opening sequence with…Tito. That's it, with Tito - black glove dude. And his reunion with Frank. And then it's the chicken scene (see below). Those are his three big arias.
Not only that though - expressions that I would later hear for the rest of the decade, I actually heard for the first time in that scene.
I'd never heard the expression; “I'll slap the black off you” before. That was the first time I heard it when Fish says it to Snipes. I've since heard it many times…
And that was actually the first time I ever heard, “fuck you very much”. And I would proceed to hear that for the rest of the 90s. But those were the first times I'd ever heard those expressions…
As terrific as he has been in other things - the level of excitement that I had over him when this movie was over, I have never had that excitement again. I thought, with this, he could be the greatest actor of his generation. That was an actual, real fucking thing. He could be the greatest actor of his generation after seeing this."

Young M.A Prefers Straight Women
“Women that I end up dating don’t mean they’re just gay now. No, they still like men. They’re just attracted to me and that’s it. After me, they move back on to men.” - Young M.A
This dude thinks he is a tough guy as he assaults an officer right in front of his parents in their home.
Meet Anish Lakhe, a resident on the 8900 block of Brandon Road. In Darien Illinois.
Darien Police Department officers responded to a domestic-related emergency call at the Brandon Road home. Upon their arrival, Lakhe was actively resisting efforts the officers were making to manage the situation.
The encounter quickly turned physical. Lakhe assaulted one of the responding officers , causing physical injury to the Darien police officer before he could be successfully restrained and placed in handcuffs.
Lakhe was subsequently transported to the DuPage County Jail and faced severe felony charges, including:
Two Counts of Aggravated Battery to a Peace Officer (Class 2 Felonies)
Resisting a Peace Officer Causing Injury (Class 4 Felony)
Domestic Battery (Class A Misdemeanor)
Lakhe's legal troubles have not ended there and have further escalated.
In early February 2026, Darien Police officers were dispatched right back to the exact same residence in the 8900 block of Brandon Road for yet another domestic disturbance.
Upon arrival, officers made contact with a female complainant who exhibited visible bruising on her ankle.
Lakhe was arrested once again at the scene and hit with a new round of criminal charges:
Two Counts of Domestic Battery
Interfering with the Reporting of Domestic Violence
He was once again booked into the DuPage County Jail. Public records and the repeated police dispatches confirm that Lakhe continues to reside at the same family home with his parents on Brandon Road, where both violent domestic escalations have manifested.
We will have to keep an eye on this to see what court results are. Soft on crime Illinois let him right back out on cashless bail.
