Luke Benjamin Bernard is an American actor, writer, and producer born in Texas and residing in Tampa, Florida. He did not begin acting until his junior year of high school primarily because he was home schooled due to his family being missionaries to Nigeria, Africa.
Luke went to University of Central Florida in pursuit of a Musical Theatre degree. He was casted as Tony in West Side Story, his first year at UCF. He grew in acting, receiving several lead roles during his college days.
After graduating in 2012, Luke moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. He found an acting coach, Max Decker, who was someone that Luke believed could develop him more as an actor. Luke became SAG eligible after being in a few SAG web series. He attended three nights a week at CM Studios and was cast as the lead in the web series Bike Cops. Unfortunately, the weekend before they started shooting, Luke was in a near fatal car accident which changed his life.
Luke suffered traumatic brain injury, two broken vertebrae, 2 blood clots on the outside of his brain, and a removal of a portion of his skull to allow his brain to swell. Through his family and thousands of prayers, God healed him. After a dream, Luke, in one month, wrote a full length feature film script that is inspired by his accident. This is amazing since six months before he was in rehabilitation relearning how to write his name. Through this accident, Luke has had an epiphany about life, people, and God. He will show his epiphany through this movie which has been transposed into a book and will be published July 2015, both called The Favorite.
