Biography

The rare native-born San Franciscan, Charles Lewis III began acting in high school, where he quickly became synonymous with the theatre department. He performed everything from Shakespeare to slapstick to social satire. His studies continued as a collegiate drama student.

After an hiatus, Charles returned to acting by landing roles in the Bay Area's diverse film-making community. These included small roles in the films The Kite Runner (2007), Four Christmases (2008), Generation Now (2008), and the tv show _Trauma (tv series)(2009)_. He also had memorable roles in independent films such as My Den (2006), The Child (2007), and The Filmmaker (2009).

Charles made his professional theatre debut in 2008 as part of a developmental staged reading for San Francisco's renowned A.C.T. (American Conservatory Theatre). He has since built a diverse repertoire of on-stage personae: from the authoritative Sheriff of William Inge's "Bus Stop" to the sadistic-but-vulnerable Soldier in Sarah Kane's controversial "Blasted" to the zany characters that of "Aesop's Fables" (as part of a children's theatre programme) and even Jesus Christ in "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot" by 'Stephen Adly Guirgis'.

Charles continues to reside and work in San Francisco.
