"The Boys" and the Fast & Furious franchise have little in common (other than some good ol' fashioned cinematic violence, of course). The former is a scathing deconstruction of the superhero genre, while the latter is a series of action films about illegal racing and perilous heists. One thing they do have in common, however, is the presence of Laz Alonso.
In "Fast & Furious" — the fourth film in the nearly 20-year-old franchise — Alonso plays antagonist Fenix Calderon, a dangerous drug runner. His boss, Arturo Braga (John Ortiz), routinely tasks him with hiring drivers to cart around his heroin before killing them all in cold blood to cover his tracks. Not the nicest guy in the world, quite unlike Mother's Milk, but Alonso is more than capable of making both seem equally convincing.
Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) discovers all this while working as a double agent, leading to her supposed death at Calderon's hands. Series mainstay Dominic Torreto (Vin Diesel), who also happens to be Ortiz's boyfriend, is quick to exact vengeance, crushing Calderon between two cars. What can we say? The man lived fast and furiously, and he died just how he lived.
