Tyson Beckford Quotes:

Ocupation: Supermodel

Life: b. December 19, 1970

Birthday: December 19

I noticed over the past thirteen years, Ralph and those guys have used guys that looked similar to me. And I was happy for those guys, but eventually I said, 'Enough is enough, I'm just going to go in and take my job back.'
