Actor Demetrius Shipp Jr. was born in the United States on November 20, 1988.
He played gang boss Tyrone Moore in the film “All American” and the musician and actor Tupac Shakur in the 2017 biopic “All Eyez on Me.”
In high school, people first began to claim that he resembled Tupac. Thirty minutes prior to the deadline, he turned in his audition tape for “All Eyez on Me” and got the role.
In 2011, Shipp was chosen to play Tupac after a friend encouraged him to apply because of his striking likeness to the renowned hip-hop singer. The movie was not released until June 2017 since principal photography did not start until 2015. On the song “Toss It Up” from the 1996 album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, Shipp’s father collaborated with Tupac Shakur.
Prior to starting his acting career, Shipp worked at Target and Dish Network.
