In addition, several other people appeared in shadowy cameos but were not noticed. The Snipes clan was one of them. Yes, his wife and children were featured on it.

General Izzi is a witty, intimidating man who loves his kids very much. The General, according to Snipes, is “certainly a loving dad” who doesn’t intend to be humorous but is.
General Izzi was said to have been inspired by the actor’s children. He claimed that his children and “their influence and impact” on him were reflected in his character.
He claimed that the kids were responsible for the timing, humor, and subtleties. Furthermore, he exclaimed that his happiness “is a reflection of them and their effect” on him.
In the same interview, he disclosed that his family had a role in the film. He mentioned they were all in one scenario, but he did not say if they were together.
Children and the Wife of Wesley Snipes
In 1985, Snipes wed Dubois, who would become his first wife. The two reportedly dated for a very long period before getting married and were high school sweethearts.
In 1988, the couple welcomed Jelani into the world. He appeared in his father’s movie Mo’ Better Blues when he was just a year old.
