Jeremy Meeks first became known to the masses when he became dubbed as “Prison Bae” in a viral post chronicling a less favorable time of his life.

Now, he’s turning his woes into wins.

Having made a splash in the modeling sphere, the 37-year-old is making a splash in acting.

And his latest endeavor sees him reprise his role as Saleem in the third installment of the popular ‘True to the Game’ film franchise.

Based on the Teri Woods novel of the same name, ‘True to the Game 3’ reassembles a number of familiar faces from its initial edition (Columbus Short, Vivica A. Fox, Erica Peeples) and is touted as the ‘most explosive’ take on street life and street love yet.

That Grape Juice‘s Chet Kincaid caught up with Meeks, who opened up about the crime-thriller, his breaking into acting, and being inspired by the one and Denzel Washington.
