Tyrese Gibson Brings ‘Triggering’ Memories to 1992 Performance

We spoke to famed rapper and actor Tyrese Gibson amid the release of 1992, his gripping new crime thriller set against a tense Los Angeles backdrop during the titular early-’90s era. The city rightfully erupted in protest once the officers involved in the merciless beating of Rodney King were acquitted, and Gibson’s new film sees him in the gripping lead role as a dad in distress trying to protect his son against racism and a coincidental heist happening at his character’s workplace.
