Laz Alonso, who took a beating from Regina King in last year’s This Christmas, will get to inflict some pain on his own as he’s just been cast as the villain in the untitled fourth installment of “The Fast and the Furious” franchise alongside Vin Diesel and Paul Walker.

According to Variety, Alonso will play an intimidating street racer who works for a druglord.

His upcoming credits include Spike Lee’s ‘Miracle at St. Anna’ and James Cameron’s ‘Avatar.’

From television appearances on various shows, to supporting roles in ‘Jarhead’ with Jamie Foxx, and ‘Stomp The Yard’ with Columbus Short, this Howard University grad is definitely moving up in the right directions.
