Terrence Terrell is the definition of what it means to be a multi-hyphenate creator. As an actor, author, musician, and all-around storyteller, Terrence works from a place of love in all that he does and towards everyone he meets. After falling in love with acting while doing plays in college, Terrence zeroed-in on the steps he would need to take to make acting into a professional career. Spending years studying a variety of different methods, Terrence details the value he gained from each and every teacher he crossed paths with along the way including the comedic techniques of Lesly Kahn, to the imagination-based practices of Diana Castle. Throughout today’s interview, Terrence stresses that no one is going to work harder for yourself than you. Whether you’re represented or not, taking paid or unpaid work, Terrence emphasizes the importance of staying working as a working actor. Today, Terrence shares his experiences on everything from auditioning, to creating his character for the CBS comedy “B Positive”, to his Emmy-Award win in Issa Rae’s “Giants.” Not only does Terrence have an extensive list of acting credits, but he’s also a talented writer who has authored a series of successful children’s books including “Blacky”, “The Shes”, “The Crown Kids”, and “My Little Black Book.” Today’s episode centers around themes of dedication, hard work, resilience, and above all, the love of creating.
