"Born in Compton, California, Lister began his career as a wrestler before taking up acting. While he was nicknamed "Tiny," he stood at 6'5." He wrestled Hulk Hogan in the World Wrestling Federation after appearing as Zeus in 1989’s No Holds Barred.

He was widely known for portraying Deebo, the neighborhood bully, in Friday and the sequel Next Friday. From there, he had roles in The Players Club, Beverly Hills Cop II, No Hold Barred, The Dark Knight, Little Nicky and The Fifth Element, among many others. He also played the character Finnick in Zootopia, as well as Klaang in a Star Trek: Enterprise pilot.

He also had cameos in a slew of music videos for artists like Ice Cube, 50 Cent, Sublime, French Montana and more."

Tommy Lister had other appearances in Star Trek episodes, including the Klingon who towered over Worf in a TNG episode. :smile:

    not for me...the only thing i recognized was finnick...which means i guess he won't be in any zootopia 2 - or they'll have to grab a new voice actor​​

    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"

    Hmm, I do recall that when they announced that Tommy Lister was going to play the Klingon for the Ent pilot that he was on TNG, so if it was someone else in that episode I mentioned, I apologize :blush:
