Description: You may have seen Thomas "Tommy the Clown" Johnson as the star of David Chapelle's documentary, Rize, or on Dancing with the Stars, America's Next Top Model, the Tyra Banks Show, and more. But Thomas Johnson wasn't always like this. As a young man, he found himself struggling to survive, and he spent five years in jail. Now, having rejoined society, Tommy the Clown has since become the pioneer of an inspirational dance movement known as "Clowning" and "Krumping," that provides an entertaining alternative to violence.
