When Disney inevitably reboots the Marvel Cinematic Universe in twenty years, I will be submitting my application to be the next Black Panther, or Blade. I’m not too picky.
In the meantime, welcome to my website, where you will find everything you need to know about who I am, and what I am up to.
I’m currently in Cleveland, Ohio pursuing my MFA in Acting at the Cleveland Play House/ Case Western Reserve University
I will be based in NYC this May to pursue acting professionally.
Jordan Peele if you’re in need of actors interested in subversive black films, I’m your man. If not, Donald Glover sign me up for Atlanta season 5.
The actors are to be commended for their commitment to their characters, particularly Michaels, Lofton and Ireland…And Ireland light up the stage in the dual roles of Sebastian and Stephano.

I gravitate towards contemporary black family dramas. to be cast as young, and sensitive, usually the son of the play.
Black people have a historic freedom to tell any story they want. We’re not only tied to stories about: stereotypes, gang violence, slavery, or escaping financial/ socioeconomic turmoil. We can slay dragons, and survive horror movies now. These are the stories I want to tell. I hope to be in service of all of those narratives as I continue in my career.
The interaction with Jonavan and his stage son, Dylan Ireland (Cory Maxson) was so engaging, powerful, and realistic. Both men brought August Wilson's vision to light - highlighting the conflict of father/son with fist-to-fist masculinity and raw passion, with no holds bar. The intensity in their scenes enlightened you of their similarities/division and the generational transfer of perceived learned behavior from previous parentage.
