New Orleans Was Meant For Him After His Roll Tide Line In Season 1

During the beginning of “NCIS: New Orleans” in 2014, Lucas Black took to Twitter to profess his excitement about being part of the show as his character Christopher LaSalle. This is because he and his character have personal connections with the state of Alabama (via AL.com). In the show, LaSalle went to the University of Alabama for college before moving to New Orleans. Black also played high school football and remains a big fan of the University of Alabama football program. Before the “NCIS: New Orleans premiere,” Black tweeted that he would get to say ‘roll tide,’ the famous Alabama football phrase, as his character in the episode. “I get to say ROLL TIDE in this episode. Couldn’t believe it when I read it. I’m liking my character already,” Black said.

Although this was great for Black, and fans may remember him from “NCIS: New Orleans,” the actor is best known for his role as Sean Boswell in “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” (via IMDb). He would appear again as his character in “F9: The Fast Saga” and could very well be back for the first part of “Fast X” in 2023.
