- Born in Jamaica, Watson moved to Toronto with his family when he was 10 years old. He loved storytelling from an early age, and was drawn to the performers he saw in movies and on television.
Unlike a handful actors who get into the business when they are children, Watson chose to pursue an education before getting his feet wet in the acting world. He decided after high school to attend Humber College in Toronto, and he started to attend scene study and voice and improvisation classes. In 2006 he decided to immerse himself in his craft, and did every independent film, short, and project that came his way.
In 2007, he landed a lead role in "The Limits", which did well in the festival circuit. He then went on to book various roles in television from 2009 through 2010. In 2011, Watson landed the role that would put him on the map not only in Canada but in the United States as well, playing "Tariq" in "The L.A. Complex." The show follows the exploits of six attractive, young hopefuls in search of stardom in Hollywood.
Currently Watson is studying as a graduate student under Matthew Harrison at The Actors Foundry in Vancouver, B.C. He loves to cook, and he is an avid writer, working on several film scripts he hopes to get off the ground in 2012.

- There comes a point in life when you actually realize death is inevitable and all the stupid things society deems to be important, don't matter at all. Getting the opportunity to do what I love to do and not having it based on financial and popularity gain is more than rewarding. Ego driving people make me sick... One life to live, make the best of everyday by helping other people. There is a bigger picture.
