http://www.cognacscorner.tv/news/ Cognac Wellerlane interviews at Asiana Restaurant NYC This talented and may I add intensely disciplined artist sat down at Asiana restaurant to discuss his interesting past, his struggles and his goals for the future over a glass of champagne. To watch this perfectly physique athletic artist in action is to see a beautiful panther leap into the air with precision, timing and grace. Taimak (pronounced Tie-Mock) never imagined he would grow up to be one of the most beloved martial arts cult classic film stars of our time. His leading role in Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon, in which he played Leroy Green (nicknamed "Bruce Leroy"), the Bruce Lee wannabe in search of "The Glow", catapulted him to stardom and a career that has spanned over twenty years.
He has appeared in over a dozen plays, including Roadhouse in 2004 at the Barrow Street Theater in New York City, playing the notable role of Dalton in this zany comedy rendition of Patrick Swayzes 80's cult classic film. He also appeared in Cheaters in 2006, playing the role of Craig during the play's highly successful national tour. Taimak is also a fitness expert and has helped thousands get in shape with his new fitness DVD Taimak FIT: Journey to Perfection. More info is available on his website: www.taimak.tv. You may also remember him as Janet Jackson's boyfriend in her video "Let's Wait A'While."
Taimak has also worked with Madonna as her martial arts coordinator on her Madonna's Drowned World Tour, and with the rock group Bush on their "Chemicals Between Us" video. He has guest starred on several television shows, including Ally McBeal, A Different World, and Third Watch. He is currently residing in New York working on a few projects for 2009, which includes the development of a film in collaboration with MOKI Entertainment entitled Repeat Offenders, where Taimak stars as 'Alexander Morton'.
