The article recounts an actor's thrilling experience filming 'Deep Blue Sea' directed by Renny Harlin. Despite missing out on a death scene in 'Jurassic Park' due to a hurricane, the actor enthusiastically embraced his role in a shark horror film, where he was the first character to die. The behind-the-scenes challenges included extended time in water and chaotic storm scenes, leading to a light-hearted comment on the conditions. The actor also expresses pride in LL Cool J's survival in a genre where characters of color often die first.
When Renny Harlin told me he was making a horror movie with killer sharks, I said: Great! It was a good idea once he'd killed me.
By the second week, the water tank had become a giant pool of urine. Renny Harlin dumped water down on us from towers, like big-ass waves.
Usually in movies like that, all the black people get killed early, but in Deep Blue Sea, LL Cool J is the last one alive. That felt like a small victory.
I was in water for a month: it was kind of wild. I missed out on my death scene in Jurassic Park because a hurricane destroyed the set.
