Daron Colbert
- Actor
- Writer
Daron was born and raised in the Detroit neighborhood known as Delray. Nicknamed "Dirt Baby" by the neighborhood fire station after they saw him playing in the alley as a young child, Daron is a go-getter.
"Connie, I'm always hustling."
Throughout the years, Daron has become well known in his mostly abandoned industrial neighborhood. He's the kid pushing a lawnmower up and down the vacant streets searching for grass to cut. (How he was discovered) He's also the kid taking three different buses to get to school. He works at the local hardware store and has been adopted by the Detroit Fire Department.
Daron likes to stay busy and is easily bored.
He was cast in Wait 'til the Wolves Make NIce by award winning director Jess Dela-Merced after she met him in 2014. The film went on to numerous film festivals, premiering at South By Southwest and produced by Jon Coplon.
2015, filming "Girl on the Mat."
He can play funny, sweet or straight-up thug. Super smart with a great memory for lines.
