I am first, last and always an actor. And yes that is me in the Olde English 800 Ad

About Me

I am a Texan living in Los Angeles pursuing my acting career. I have a BA in Theatre from The University of Texas at Austin and I was a finalist in the Method Film Festival Acting Competition. Please don't make assumptions about me based on my photos or the fact that I've done a few music videos in the PAST.My ultimate career goal is to be on a successful night time drama along the lines of Law & Order. I would also like to see more diversity in the types of roles written for black people, particularly in film. I am trying my hand at writing short films in hopes of contributing a different perspective on the black experience.

My Interests

I am reviving my interest in Broadcasting. I would love to be a radio personality!

People with an interest and a passion for film. That includes other actors, directors, producers, writers, etc. I would really like to collaborate with other artists and make short films to submit to film festivals.
