LL Cool J

Who is LL Cool J? Ask a teenage music fan or a grandmother who watches NCIS: Los Angeles this question, and chances are very good that either one can tell you the answer. LL Cool J rose to fame in the early 1980s as a young rap singer with dreams of making it big. Little did he know then that he would also become a successful actor. LL s life was not an easy one. He survived an abusive childhood and learned many lessons about forgiveness along the way. Most importantly, he never gave up on his dreams—and after 30 years, he is still making them come true.
