Briefly signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath label, she recorded a demo tape including a song that made it to the Bulworth soundtrack.

After releasing her third album, Eve-olution, she then appeared in the urban comedy Barbershop (starring Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer) as Terri, the only female member of a south-side Chicago barbershop. Eve reprised her Barbershop role for its sequel in 2004, and was praised for her turn as the suspicious co-worker of a former child molester in The Woodsman the same year. The actress/singer dropped off the movie scene for several years in order to pursue her musical career and other ventures, then came back with a bang for a supporting role in Whip It, a comedy drama following an ex-pageant queen's experiences on a roller derby team. She also appeared on several episodes of Glee, Fox's hit television series following the oftentimes musical adventures of a high school glee club.

Trivia: Salt-and-pepper-haired, frequently mustachioed African-American character player Richard Gant tackled supporting roles in a plethora of Hollywood A-list features during the 1980s and '90s. Among other efforts, his resumé from that period includes Suspect (1987), Rocky V (1990), Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), and CB4: The Movie (1993). Gant continued his big-screen roles through the tail end of that decade and well into the 2000s, but also achieved substantial recognition and audience identification on the small screen, with a regular role as Sgt. Bill Dornan on Steven Bochco's hit cop drama NYPD Blue. Gant later appeared memorably as the livery stable owner Hostetler on the HBO Western drama Deadwood, and joined the cast of long-running soap opera General Hospital as Dr. Russell Ford in 2007.

Trivia: Actress Daphne Zuniga achieved nationwide fame through her weekly appearances on Fox's Melrose Place in 1994; despite her comparative unfamiliarity, she was certainly no overnight success. The daughter of a Guatemalan-born philosophy professor, Zuniga attended U.C.L.A. while her dad was teaching at California State. Stardom beckoned when she was cast as John Cusack's recalcitrant traveling companion in The Sure Thing (1985). For reasons that defy explanation, this engaging performance did not immediately elevate her to the top ranks, and Zuniga would have to mark time in unmemorable films like Last Rites (1988) and Prey of the Chameleon (1991) before Melrose Place secured her popularity. After that show ended she continued to work regularly on both the small and big screen in projects such as Pandora's Clark, Enemies of Laughter, Christmas Do-Over, and the short-lived Spaceballs animated series. In 2007 she co-directed the documentary The Future We Will Create: Inside the World of TED.
