Idris Simon is an award-winning screen actor, model and singer who
stars in the short film WeakUs Link from Klean Slate Pictures. He also
appears in the Bollywood feature film New York.
As an adolescent, he formed singing groups with friends and performed in talent competitions. In his high school yearbook, he was named Most Talented for his vocal and dance ability. He also began modeling as a teenager. His credits include the Philly Fashion Expo under the direction of Julie Welch (mother of rapper/actor Eve).
Idris holds a Bachelors of Science in English from Lincoln University. It was here that he discovered his love for singing failed to satisfy him completely. So he searched for new ways to express himself and fell into acting. While a student, his Major of Broadcast Journalism helped him feel comfortable in front of the camera and with writing. He subsequently landed roles in both feature length and short subject motion pictures.
Idris's roles range from a soldier, to a man faced with an impossible choice in the unreleased intense drama WeakUs Link from Klean Slate Pictures. But it is perhaps his leading role as "Boyfriend" in the multiple award-winning "Punch Me" that introduces his talent to the world.
In "Punch Me", Idris stars opposite talent from Denzel Washington's "The Great Debaters" and HBO's "The Wire". His work has been praised by audiences, co-workers and industry professionals. The project has screened or will screen at festivals and non-festivals in the United States and abroad.
Idris starred in a lead role opposite Fmr. Eagles Cheerleader D'Arcy Fellona in "I am man" an award-winning drama from Brotherside Entertainment, LLC and Emmy Award-Winner Janet Conner-Knox.
Idris is determined to be the best, turn heads and make people see and know who he is. He is ready to learn and grow quickly. The accolades his current work continues to receive should serve as the catalyst for his ultimate rise to the top.
Idris is certainly one to watch.
