JERMAINE L. WILLIAMS was born in Washington D.C., and grew up in Burtonsville, Maryland. He is known for making funny facial expressions, and having a distinct voice. Throughout his childhood, making people laugh and using his unique sense of creativity made him stand out from the rest.

After graduation, he studied TV Production at Morgan State University, then earned his Bachelors Degree in Film & Video at University of Maryland Baltimore County. During college, he starred in many independent shorts, including Practice Session (2002) and Peace of Mind (2003), which made Top Ten in the Triggerstreet Film Festival. In the same year, Jermaine became the first national winner of the WB Casting Call contest, which included a trip to LA, a cash prize, a meeting with the WB Executive Vice President of Casting, and a national television appearance on the WB. In 2004, he starred in his first feature film entitled Last Ride of the Raven. Currently, Jermaine performs standup comedy in various locations in and around the Los Angles area, and continues to fulfill his love for acting.

Jermaine L Williams's Interests
General
Listening to good music, writing, performing standup, karaoke, and playing the Wii! Watching TV too, but that really doesn't count, does it?
Music
My first love is acappella music, because I love the voice. Groups from that genre include Take6, Vox One, and Rockapella. I also love music from James Brown, Michael Jackson, and Jamiroquai. Mostly, I like pop, some oldies, dance/techno, and jazz.
Movies
My favorite movies/shows would have to be the ones that influenced me other the years: The Mask, The Matrix, Disney's Pinocchio, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the movies too), Spiderman (tv shows and movies), Sponge Bob Squarepants...I could go on, but I'm not remembering anymore right now.
Books
You know I don't rad much (as you can see rad), but I'd have to say that I do depend a lot on the Bible, so I'll say that's my favorite book. Also Cat in the Hat.
About me: Hi, I'm Jermaine, and I really like making people laugh and entertaining. I enjoy singing, acting, standup, dancing, playing music, filmmaking, drawing, and writing. I'm the only child, so I don't know what it's like to have a brother or sister. I've never had a dog, although I did own fish, parrots, turtles, hamsters, and a ferret (not all at once ofcoarse). I can be quite a perfectionist most times with what I'm working on, even the smallest of things. I am a hard worker, and I pay very close to detail. Goodness, I feel like I'm typing a resume.
you and your commercials! haha I seen you in like 2 and I rarely watch tv if they ever need a mexican that looks like me hit me up!! I wanna do commercials
Hey Jermaine, just saw your new Burger King Whopper Junior tiny hands commercial, nice job! I gotta dump my commercial agent & sign up with yours, JK (not really...)
TONIGHT!!!!! Me and poetry, music, comedy @ SOAPBOX @ Cafe Audrey (7601 Hollywood Blvd. (at Las Palmas), Hollywood CA 90028) @ 7pm. How are you? peace~
I do have a facebook. I hardly use it though. I have to email you my account name, since I can't remember my screenname at the moment. LoL I've been good, just going to school. I'm going to be taking some classes soon actually. I'm a little overdue now. I'm going to start doing some BG work, it sucks but the pay is good. At least in the mean time.
So how have you been? Are you taking classes? And I really enjoyed your show, you have to let me know when you're on again so I can show up.
Hello! January & I are both thankful to have you in our lives. We wish you & yours a very "HAPPY THANKSGIVING"! Enjoy your day today & have a memorable day. Love & peace:) Marissa & January
