As a 21 year old, Tyson Beckford was introduced to a features contributor from the magazine The Source. The man mooted the idea that Tyson should try out as a model. After several attempts, Tyson was finally taken on by a NYC model agency.
Early in his career, Tyson was given a modelling assignment working with the well-connected fashion photographers Bruce Weber and Herb Ritts. When working on the shoot Ralph Lauren happened by the studio – the fashion icon and guru noticed Tyson, and asked him to model for RL.
In 1993 Tyson landed the lead in a nationwide advertising campaign for the famous fashion house. The resulting promotion rapidly built Tyson’s image and reputation. Soon he was appearing on magazine covers such as Vogue, GQ, The New York Times. He was also much in demand for fashion show work.
To further his career, Tyson moved into TV shows, including Magic Hour, Mad TV, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Zoolander and ANTM. But besides these ‘celebrity appearances’, Tyson showed himself to be a naturally talented actor. In 2002, he landed his debut movie part, in Pandora’s Box. More films followed, such as Biker Boyz, and Into The Blue. In 2008 Tyson co-produced for the first time (also appearing in a lead role) in the successful Hotel California.

No doubt Tyson is a good looking actor in hollywood and he also proved himself in the movie Biker Boyz. In this movie he performed very well and also in his own produced movie Hotel California.

Tyson Beckford was in and around the tents for all of Fashion Week. I was lucky enough to snap some pictures of him before the Reem Acra Fashion Show and then later on actually got a picture of me with him. Not only is Tyson one of the hottest male models of all time.
