*“I am very excited to be a part of the Tupac story,” said Patrick Faucette who was tapped by Director Benny Boom for the role of Oliver. “I played the moderator at the 1993 Indiana Black Expo where Tupac gave a game-changing speech about thug life which is still circulating on the internet.”
The film, “All Eyes on Me,” expected to be released later this year, chronicles the legendary rapper’s prolific life from his formative years to his tragic death.
Faucette, a native of Willingboro, New Jersey, has a recurring role on Tyler Perry’s “The Haves and Have Nots” as Tony Watson, who lobbied to take his estranged son Benny Young (Tyler Lepley) off life support to take his kidney. As a result, Faucette became a community advocate about the need for organ donors and kidney disease awareness. His TV credits include “The Office,” “Southland,” “Hot in Cleveland,” and “Cougar Town.”
