Biography

Emerging from the streets of Los Angeles, Samuel "Caffamilliano" Monroe, Jr. embarked upon success. He landed his first roll as an actor in Patti LaBelle's TV series Out All Night (Episode: Taking Care of Business as Dion), starting his remarkable acting career. Monroe went on to display his acting talents when he played on The Lyon's Den (with Rob Lowe in two episodes as Man); The Steve Harvey Show (Episode: White Men Can Funk); Smart Guy (Episode: Lab Rats as Warren); NYPD Blue (Episodes: Closing Time as Brother #3 and Girl Talk as Punk #2); Murder One (Trey); Chapter Seven (as himself).

From television, Monroe then graced the big screen, with big roles in box office hits such as Menace II Society (Ilena's Cousin); Set It Off (Lorenz); The Players Club (Junior); Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (Sam); Tales from the Hood (Bulldog); Choices 2 (AC with the 3-6 Mafia); The Lick (Kilo); Behind The Pole (Jame). He also appeared in David E. Talbert's play What Goes Around Comes Around (Stan), as well as the TV series Southland (Tank).

Moving from the big screen to the big chair, as director, writer and producer, Monroe produced his own hit television series, entitled The Halls. It is a true depiction of the lifestyles of youths who enter the Juvenile Hall system at early ages. This television show is also very compelling and chronicles the lives of not only the children, but of their parents as well. He believed that capturing the lives of the parents (behind the scenes) is essential because he believed that childhood corruption starts at home. Monroe was no stranger to other media outlets. Being formerly signed to Jive Records and working with Andre Harrell encouraged him to follow his dream to produce and record his own music. With a rap style of his own and with tracks co-produced by some of the world's most prolific legendary producers (Battlecat, Duane Nettlesbey, Jelly Roll, Meech Wells, Mohamed Aniff "Double F" and Clint "pay- back" sands), Monroe managed to make a name for himself during his lifetime.
