3 BLIND BOYS ON THE BLOCK



Hey Everyone!

I'm currently at the airport in Charlotte, NC waiting on my flight to my hometown, Detroit, MI. I figured that I would update the universe on my acting career. I recently wrapped up a production for a film titled, "3 Blind Boys on the Block". The story follows a crime involving three young men. The "3 Blind Boys" are all facing a dilemma involving past issues. I portray Terrance Battle, one of the troubled men of the group. It was a very challenging role, but I believe I did very well.  The writer and director of the film, Alan Nettles (Moving4ward Productions), wanted to speak on issues that young African-American men face, that are often unknown and unspoken of. We all hope that this film will touch many lives from all races and ethnicities towards the understanding and harmony of the human race. CHECK OUT THE TRAILER BELOW!!!

Keep Believing!

My first television commercial!



When is it okay to say that you are living your  dream? I've been working really hard to make a name for myself. My diligence is paying off, and I'm gaining more recognition in the southeast region of USA in the film industry. A major boost to contribute to my goal has been my first televised commercial! I lead in Farm Bureau Insurance's TV spot, giving thanks to all the veterans that have served for America. I'm very grateful and I know that this will only lead to more opportunities in the future. I'm thankful and definitely enjoying the journey! The future just got even brighter! Until next time...



Hold on to your dreams!
