don't know if this is new or old but here's an interview with tim roth that has some interesting info lol:
You worked with Tupac Shakur on Gridlock'd -- many people said if he'd lived and kept acting, he could have won an Oscar
. . .
Actually, I didn't even want him to be in the film -- I didn't know who he was. I just wanted an actor, not a musician. But we went to a restaurant and he came in with an enormous entourage and he sat down and auditioned for us. He knew so much about the role and I got on with him like a house on fire. There are tapes of me and him rapping together, recorded at Death Row Records! I'm hoping they've been burned, though. It was one of the nicest relationships I've had with another actor -- I found him to be incredibly talented. I used to call him "New Money" because he had a massive Bentley and a different model sat in the car each day, and he used to call me "Free Shit" because I always used to get loads of free stuff from companies. It's a shame what happened -- I think he could have gone on to be quite something as an actor.
