How did you get your start acting?
I got my start attending a performing arts school here [in Atlanta], singing in the choir, band and doing musical theater. That’s where I got the foundation for it [acting].
What makes a good actor?
Besides having a desire and a true love for it [acting], it takes a resiliency. There will be a lot of noes. There will be times when you walk into an audition and absolutely kill it and they won’t choose you. The most important thing besides resilience and passion is knowing where you fit.
What advice do you have for someone who wants to be an actor?
The advice I have is to audition. The art of auditioning is a science all its own. It’s the precursor to any job you’re going to get, so it’s important that you master that process. Acting classes are important, and you want to work as much as you can. I say go audition as much as possible to get over your nerves. Figure out how to be yourself in that quick, 30-second pitch and really find your confidence and footing in the audition space.
What can people expect from you in the future?
I have a couple of movies that are slated to come out. One is called Black Kids White Mamma, which is a hilarious comedy about interracial dating. I think that’s one that is so perfectly inappropriate for the times were in. I believe that’s one that’s going to be big on people’s radar. I also have one called Swag, which is about these guys who create a dating app to help men find love. I play a guy who [is] kinda shy and doesn’t know how to talk to the woman he really loves. If you [are] at home and want to watch something, I have Boy Bye on Netflix.

Ex-NFL star Chris Johnson accused of masterminding murder-for-hire scheme
ROLLINGOUT.COM — Prosecutors relied on testimony from the informant, who alleged that Johnson forked over a handsome stack of bills to have rising gang member Dominic Bolden kill the suspected shooters. The informant said Bolden successfully carried out the murderous mission, killing one of the suspected drive-by shooters on Jan. 19, 2016, and the other on June 24 of the same year.
By Terry Shropshire, RollingOut.com
Former NFL star running back Chris Johnson is accused of planning and financing a successful “murder-for-hire” scheme that left two dead and being heavily involved in a major drug trafficking operation in central Florida, prosecutors allege.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, an informant claimed that Johnson sought and obtained retribution after alleged gang members shot him and killed his friend in a drive-by shooting in Orlando, Florida, on March 8, 2015.
Prosecutors relied on testimony from the informant, who alleged that Johnson forked over a handsome stack of bills to have rising gang member Dominic Bolden kill the suspected shooters. The informant said Bolden successfully carried out the murderous mission, killing one of the suspected drive-by shooters on Jan. 19, 2016, and the other on June 24 of the same year.
Bolden’s reward was multipronged, the informant said in an affidavit, according to the documents obtained by TMZ. Not only did Bolden get the bag for killing Johnson’s gang enemies, but he also rose up the ranks of the local gang in Florida, eventually becoming the “de facto leader” of the drug trafficking organization (DTO). Thirdly, Johnson allegedly provided seed money and a major contact in order for Bolden to traffic as much narcotics as possible, according to the documents.
Neither the state’s attorney’s office nor the Florida attorney general returned media inquiries to confirm this information.
Johnson, 34, who last played in the NFL in 2017, has not been charged with any crime and vehemently denied involvement in any murder or drug operation through his representative.
The former star running back rose to national fame when he rushed for more than 2,000 yards for the Tennessee Titans, a rare feat in the NFL. He played six of his 10 seasons with the Titans before being traded to the New York Jets.

The Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets, however, are allowed to continue to play out their game in Texas as owner Mark Cuban and some in the arena have just come to grips with this shocking news.
Cuban relayed that he is in shock at how fast this pandemic is developing and the catastrophic economic and health ramifications that appear to be headed the country’s way.
