I recently saw Poetic Justice(1993) and I really liked it. He also directed Shaft(2000) and Boys In The Hood(1991) and many others.

I hope he fully recovers

I have heard there are advances in treatment if he gets to a hospital in time.

We just lost Luke Perry for the same thing. These men are far too young. I hope John can recover.

...First reports labeled it a "mild" but he's since lapsed into a coma and his mother is in the process of becoming his conservator.

Please get well soon, John...

He's an educator and is back in the classroom and playing golf with us on the weekends after 6 months of therapy.

He said it was like lightening striking his brain.
