Exclusive: BET cancels American Gangster TV Series

Having directed the Mac Dre / Romper Room episode on last season's American Gangster, it is with great sadness that I have to report that the award winning season is no more.

Narrated by Ving Rames, American Gangster was the first TV documentary series to tell first hand accounts of some of the biggest black gangsters in US history.

The series ran for 3 seasons.

The following people were profiled on the show:

- Frank Lucas
- Mac Dre & the Romper Room Gang
- Stanley "Tookie" Williams
- Freeway Ricky Ross
- Lorenzo "Fat Cat" Nichols
- Leroy "Nicky" Barnes
- The Smith Brothers
- Felix Mitchell
- Jeff Fort
- Chaz Williams
- Rayful Edmond
- Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff
- Larry Davis
- "Monster" Kody Scott
- J. Edgar Hoover
- Cornell Jones
- Robert "Midget" Molley
- The Shower Posse
- Mutulu Shakur
- Guy Fisher
- Willie Lloyd
- Vivian Blake
- The Detroit Chambers Brothers
- The Philly Black Mafia
- Larry Hoover
- Little Melvin Williams (who the HBO series 'The Wire' was based on)
- D.C. Snipers (John Allen Muhammad/Lee Boyd Malvo)
