DEADLEE is yet another rapper turned actor following in the footsteps of Will Smith, Queen Latifah, Ice-T, LL COOL J, & DMX to name a few. Deadlee was commissioned to do a song for the Daniel Zirilli Independent film VENGEANCE. Daniel than asked him to audition for the lead, but he did not get the role because he looked too young at the time to have grown kids. Daniel Zirilli still gave Deadlee a cameo and that was the start of Deadlee catching the acting bug!
After reading an article about acclaimed acting coach Bobbie Shaw Chance, Deadlee knew he had to take classes from her. Some of her clients include Drew Barrymore, Anthony Hopkins,Kurt Russell, Rob Reiner, Andy Garcia, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. Two years training at Expressions Unlimited under Bobbie 'www.bobbiechance.com', and Deadlee was more confident on stage and ready to audition! In 2005 he got a bit part in the Zombie thriller, DEAD MEN WALKING, which has become a SCI-FI Channel Cult Hit! He followed that with another part in the KOREAN LANGUAGE FILM- 'HERS'. A LAPD Commercial and the TRU TV Series, NORTH MISSION ROAD, and Deadlee was ready for the next step: HIS FIRST LEADING ROLE!
