About Me

I'm an actor. Thats my passion, and I'm determined to achieve my dream. I am currently in New York City building my Resume as much as possible before heading out to those Hollywood hills. After a rough start, the ball has really started rolling. I've been freelancing with a couple agencies, Gilla Roos and The Mine. In the past month, I was the guest star in an episode of the 2nd Season Discovery Channel show "Most Evil." It is set to air in the Spring. Also, I booked one of the Co-Leads in the Independent short "Off on Thursday." It is a comedy with the underlying theme being that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. We start filming in mid-Septemeber. And finally, the biggest role to date, I booked the Lead in an Independent Feature Film that is filming in Alabama. The project is still "Untitled" but it features me as Tucker, a carefree ladies man whom dropped out of Community College and gives two shits about anything with the exception of Drinking and doing the dirty all over Alabama. Its a great script and I'm pumped to get started on the project. I fly down and start shooting Mid-October through the beginning of December. Other then that, just auditioning my booty off and hoping for bigger and better things. Hopefully sooner, rather then later. Only time will tell.--------------------------In my spare time, I am also working as a Personal Trainer at Ballys Worldwide Sports Club. I have around 20 amazing clients and its a great job. I love working out, and helping others in accomplishing their goals. ------------------------------I was born and raised in the GREAT state of West Virginia in a little town called Chesapeake right outside of Charleston. Graduated Riverside High, played Football, Basketball, Baseball and ran Track throughout school, and then went to West Virginia University as a Theatre major, GREAT times, went to Walt Disney World in Orlando and worked for 8 months on the College Program Internship in the Character Entertainment Department, AKA Tigger, GREAT times, and then got accepted into the New York School for Film and Televisions 2-year Conservatory Program which I just completed in May. Now I'm here in the Apple for a minute, and then off to Hollywood. ------------------------------I'm a very laid-back type a guy whom loves to have fun. I love to laugh and am rarely serious. Almost always in a joking mood. I never sweat the small stuff. However, I'm also very focused and hard-working, and when I'm solo, that side of me comes out. Thats the Gemini in me. My two little split personalitys. I'm a huge movie buff, going to see basically all the good movies within the opening week in the theatres, and I also enjoy stand-up comedy, sports, working out, clubs, bars, partys, anything WVU, eating at nice restaraunts, and acting. Any questions, holla at me. Peace.DK

My Interests

I like it all baby. I'm very open to all aspects of life and am fascinated by it all and how different everything is, people, countrys, music, movies, whatever. Its all so unique. First and foremost though, I'm all about Film, all all all about some film. I wanna be a Film actor. Period. Gettin on a TV show, Soap, Commercial, yea whatever, it'd be aiight, but a Movie, now making a movie is where my passion lies. Me and a couple of my compadres have been making our own Student Films since Sophomore Year a high school, totaling 14 Films, and more on the way, so when it comes to being passionate about something, its all Film. I love going to the movies, gimme some popcorn and a hot date, or even with my homies, and nothing beats going to the movies for me. I also like going out to dinner at nice restaraunts, and the NYC club scene is pretty sick. I'll bang you up on MADDEN or NCAA on the PS2, and i also enjoy hitting the gym and sports, any sports, especially football and hoop. Fun Fun Fun.

I'd like to meet:

Right now, I'm just putting my focus on my acting and shooting for those stars. So on a professional level, I'd love to meet some driven individuals with big dreams who are trying to do the damn thing in whatever areas their expertise. Someone who truly believes the sky's the limit. Those are my kind a peoples. Fit the description? Holla at me.

Music:

I'm pretty open in this category, I started off Hardcore Hip-Hop, all throughout High School and College, but when I went to Disney World it really opened me up to basically everything. If I had to say, my favorite is RAP, cuz I like to shake my booty in the club, and that techno and rock just don't do it for me, but I can get down with everything from old school, to rock, to alternative, and even Country. That's my Dub V roots, gotta get down with Country, so regardless the song, you'll always get a couple head bobs outta me. Top 3 - Jay-Z, Eminem, Tupac. Hands down.

Movies:

WOW! This could go on forever, but I'll just list my top 25... (Gimme that drumroll please)... Forrest Gump, Kill Bills, Goodfellas, Braveheart, Shawshank Redemption, Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction, The Shining, Scarface, Gladiator, Finding Neverland, Casino, The Patriot, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Almost Famous, Training Day, Dumb and Dumber, Friday Night Lights, X-Mens, Big Fish, Batman Begins, Vanilla Sky, Fight Club, & Cruel Intentions.

Television:

Anything but Reality TV!!! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! But more specifically, any HBO Series, cuz they are by far the best on the tube, especially Entourage, ROME, and The Soprano's. I like LOST on ABC, the star Mathew Fox representin for SFT, and anything Sports, gotta have my Sportscenter.

Books:

I'd say 80% of the books I read are acting related, autobiographys, Marlon Brando's autobiography "Songs My Mother Taught Me" I would say is my favorite. The American Film Institute Desk Reference, even our school text books, anything beneficial to my acting career. But I really like "Angels and Demons", and "The Da Vinci Code." John Grisham is probably my favorite author, I really liked "Bleachers", its a highschool football story, really good.

Heroes:

My 3 Acting Idols are Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, and Mel Gibson. In Sports my 3 go to guys are Kobe Bryant, Shaquielle O'Neal, and Barry Sanders. And my biggest hero of all, is my momma. I'm a mommas boy, and I got nothin but love for good ol' Momma.
