It's been 19 years since Derice, Sanka, Yul and Junior's memorable ride in Calgary. Check out what the cast is up to now.
Derice Bannock - Leon
He may have been faster than his father, but Derice never made it to Olympics as a sprinter. Instead he convinced a retired "sled God" to teach a few Jamaicans a new sport. Leon went on to star in Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone and Above the Rim with Tupac Shakur and earned an Emmy Nomination for his portrait of Little Richard. After he mastered turn-12 in Calgary the heartthrob became one of those guys who actually dates models. If you look carefully you can spot him on Real Housewives of Atlanta as the baby daddy of Cynthia Bailey's daughter.
BONUS: Born Leon Robinson. He dropped the "Robinson" for a more unique and mysterious stage name, or he had secret ambitions of becoming a Brazilian soccer star.
Sanka Coffie - Doug E. Doug
Sanka was the best pushcart driver in all of Jamaica, but he put his ego aside for the for the sake of the team. The film's comic relief, and soul, appeared to be the break-out comedic star from Cool Runnings, starring in Operation Dumbo Drop alongside Danny Glover and Ray Liotta and then joining the cast of The Cosby Show. However he was quickly reduced to small roles in unknown films and cameos on Law & Order. He was most recently seen as a pastor slash drug dealer on two episdoes of Justified.
Yul Brenner - Malik Yoba
Once he let go of his anger towards Junior for ending his Olympic track dreams the big baldy went on to carve himself a successful, but rather unnoticed, career in film and TV including both of Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? films. However his most memorable post-Rasta Rocket role is as Ice, the bounty hunter slash caterer from Arrested Development.
Junior Bevil - Rawle D. Lewis
After turning down that lucrative brokerage job at Webster, Webster & Cohen in Miami to make history with his Jamaican brethren in Calgary, Rawle D. Lewis fell off the acting map returning only for a brief appearance in K-PAX. Most recently he was seen taking a picture with YouTube's Sexy Sax Man. Still a badass mother who won't take no crap off of nobody.
