He was Raphael Chillious when he returned to West Nottingham in 2001, this time to start a prep basketball team that would travel nationally and compete against other top programs. He brought in Josh Boone, a 6-foot-8 center from Mount Airy, MD, and Cheyenne Moore, an athletic forward from Baltimore, both of whom were highly ranked prospects, and a roster filled with talented postgraduates from around the country......"

He also had a brief singing career with a more noticeable acting career in the 70's. apparently he and his brother JJ and sister Thelma didn't get along but they made a way when they could.
