Tyrese Talks New Film “1992,” Upcoming Album “Beautiful Pain,” His Faith, and Hollywood Realities

When asked about his connection to the character and the story, Tyrese said, “This one is literally from the heart. I did about 40, maybe 50 pages of rewrites on this script. I’ll never get credit for it, but this movie is about something that really, really affected people.” Having grown up in Watts, Tyrese shared his personal experiences during the 1992 riots, adding authenticity to his portrayal of Mercer.
