I was destined to be the ping pong champion of the world after college in West Palm Beach, Florida. This Community College, "Northwood Institue", derailed my opportunities by kicking me out before i could graduate. It was stated that I "used my leadership abilities in a negative way” all because I started my own sorority. Who knew that would upset some people? F!%# it! I came back to NY and started construction working with my dad... Then, a friends girlfriend took me to HB Studios, an acting class in the West village. Once there, I saw the light and a place with some fine women. It was a competion at first: I had to be the best in the class, plus I was also trying to shake off this fear of being a fuck-up all my life like every teacher in high school said i would be. What can I say, I had a Napolean Complex so I learned the craft and picked up some women along the way. The only thing is, i put all my eggs in one basket: it was Act or Bust. “To Be or Not to Be." A few years later, broke but talented, i did the basic hustle: waiting tables, and working the door at this great club The Cheetah Club in Manhattan. There, I met John Singelton. He gave me a shot when others gave me the business. Yeah the Business. Agents would tell me I’m not black enough for the black parts, and the spanish parts went to the Italians. Anyway, “Shaft” was my first studio movie. Then, i met Spike and he heard this monologue i wrote called "Drehollywood", he's been looking out for me here and there. I worked at the SharkBar restaurant in NYC for about 5 years doing every Law & Order possible. I was also part of a Theater Company in the Lower East Side. There, I learned about the audience and the energy that acting creates when done right. Then came "The Wire".
It's been a crazy ride; people believing in me more than myself at times, but I never give up. Born in the Bronx, grew in The Lower East Side, and raised my family in Brooklyn. I am what Hollywood needs: more craft and less business. I think it has enough of that... oh yeah, and some fine ass women too.
