Charlie London(I)

One who dares to dream, Charlie London was born and raised in Memphis Tn. A son of a minister, who from a very young aged realized that what he said, and how he expressed it, had the potential to touch people in very positive ways. He began preaching the gospel at the young age of 6 years old. After graduating from the University of Memphis, spending 23 years as an Information Technology leader in a fortune 100 company, and 30 years in the ministry, Charlie felt that he still was not truly doing what he was put on this earth to do. The answer came to him while he was a student at the University of Memphis, in 1996 he took home the title of Mr. Essence during a campus wide pageant by demonstrating his skills as an effective orator, model, and thinker. Eventually Charlie found the stage at the Hattiloo Theatre in Memphis Tn. where he landed the lead role for its' grand opening play entitled 'Home', written by Sam Art Williams. Charlie had finally discovered his true passion, and it was acting. After that he spent the next 2 years in Memphis performing on the Hattiloo stage performing various plays such as 'They Sing Christmas up in Harlem', 'Macbeth', and 'The Charlayne Woodard Story'. It became very clear to him that if he was going to reach his maximum potential, it would be in the acting mecca of the world, Hollywood, California. Since 2008, he has called Los Angeles home; and since then he has made numerous appearances in plays, commercials, television, and film. Charlie is a father and husband. He has studied several years with actors Michael Beach, and Alexia Robinson. He has truly dared to dream and is living his life to the fullest!
