About me:

********************************************************************************** TERRELL TILFORD recently made his debut on the ABC daytime drama ONE LIFE to LIVE in the role of neurosurgeon, Dr. Greg Evans, after completing a run of the hit stage play Stick Fly directed by the incomparable Shirley Jo Finney and appearing in the critically-acclaimed Lifetime movie, Maneater opposite Sarah Chalke. He will soon be seen as an abusive member of the LAPD in the feature film Jackson and investigating a bloody massacre in Dark House. Television viewers have watched him protect the President on 24, seduce Bird on Showtime's Soul Food, woo Lisaraye on All of Us, as Jill's date on Girlfriends, flatter Aunjanue Ellis on the medical drama MDs, as Detective David Grant on the daytime drama Guiding Light opposite the triple-threat Victoria Platt, as a mutated Klingon on Enterprise, starring as Robert in the award-winning film anthology The DL Chronicles: Robert and doing time for doing the crimes on the CSI series. Tilford's work has been hailed by Ed Kaufman of the Hollywood Reporter as "brilliant" as he is known for his critically-acclaimed work on stages from New York to Los Angeles... A classically-trained actor, director and writer, Tilford's passion also extends to the visual Arts - as a noted collector, gallerist, consultant & curator. He has now entered the atomic-cyber-cosmic network known to you all as MySpace! *********************************************************************************** Now, if you're profile is set to Private, it makes it difficult to learn anything about you and accept you as a Friend...just setting the tone... Secondly, if you send me a message, I will respond as soon as I am available. Don't get all-Crazy if i don't respond to you right away...just setting the tone... Now, let's move forward... If you're reading this for the first time, so much has changed, yet so much has remained the same. You choose. *** My true friends are amazing... i love them... what better way to spend life than to kick it with them... whether it's dinners, drinkin', debatin' or simply just living. I'm that brotha in the backyard smokin' meats on the grill & smoker, sitting in front of the Buddha fountain with friends & family, "surveying my 'lil land" instead of hittin' a club scene. I've done that part. Every now and then it's cool. But I'm good. *** Life is about expression and I'm fortunate to be able to choose how I want to indulge that expression. But as private as I profess to be, I have also become fascinated with this extension to the rest of the world: MySpace.com. *** Those were my old beliefs... i'm not so convinced anymore... if we can make it interesting and worthwhile for one another, that would be a beautiful thing... otherwise, let's not press the issue and move forward. So I'm here to take a ride, see where other people's interests and desires may fall in suit with my own. And to celebrate those differences as well. *** God has blessed me to infinite degrees. I am so grateful, yet I do my best to be humble, as well. *** So let's move forward, in positive light & energy and see where this music takes us. *** It intrigues me to be here -- at times -- and when and if the music ever stops or I've learned all I believe this particular journey will afford me, I guess I'll check out... well, metaphysically speaking, that is... *** Be Well. Be You. Power. Dominion. Mastery. Authority. .. Photobucket

Who I'd like to meet:

My Ancestors, The Dalai Lama, Elizabeth Catlett, Konstantin Stanislavski, Bert Andrews, Pablo Picasso, Charles Mingus, Sandy Meisner, Romare Bearden, Miles Davis, John F. Kennedy, Sandy Meisner, Jackie Robinson, Frida Kahlo, Langston Hughes, Franceso Clemente, James Baldwin, Louis XIV, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Charles II, W.E.B. DuBois, Julius Caesar, Diego Rivera, Jackson Pollock, Miguel Covarrubias, Zora Neale Huston, Bill Gates... ***********************************************************

    The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. MLK

    Thanks for the add Terrell. Look forward to seeing you on stage one day. Hopefully at the historic Madame C.J. Walker Theatre in Indianapolis. But first we got to get a one-man show with you in place (smile). You are an amazing artist. By the way, your role on Soul Food was my initial introduction to you as an actor and you blew me away. You've got a real supporter here. Would like to learn more about your art collection as well.-peace
