Donald Faison to play Haitian Jack

Donald Faison (Scrubs)
USA Networks' "Unsolved" will feature an episode about Tupac and Biggie titled "Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G." In USA's anthology, Donald Faison formerly a star on the show 'Scrubs' will play the role of Haitian Jack. 

Rumors have been swirling for years about a potential tv show based on the life and times of Haitian Jack. Haitian Jack (Jacques Agnant) was well known promoter and executive in the music field who's worked with the likes of Madonna and the late Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur. Alleged to be the founder of the "Black Mafia" in NY, Haitian Jack was feared by friends and foes. In fact, Hip-hop coinnosseurs will remember that Tupac specifically referenced Haitian Jack in his track "Against All Odds." The Haitian Jack show was said to be an 8 episode miniseries starring Yasin Bey (formerly Mos Def) among others. No word recently on developments on that show but with "Unsolved", viewers will get a glimpse of Haitian Jack.
