Bobbie Dancy
- Actor
Bobbie Dancy is an American actor; known for his Action and Drama roles. He has enjoyed a successful career in theatre and film. Bobbie was born in a poor working class in Cleveland, Ohio on September 26, 1986. He is the eldest son of Bobby L. Dancy Sr., a machine operator at Alcoa Corporation and Amelda (Hunter). He was shortly joined by younger brother Andrew L Dancy, August 28, 1988.
Dancy got his first major role in Platinum Remi Award winning film (Christian Drama) One Last Prayer, directed by Myron Davis. Followed by his first starring role in short film One Man's Perspective directed by Kevin Taylor. Last but not least, he starts in the Action/Drama film Call Me written and directed by Raymelle A. Adams; as troubled son Tony, who must risk his life to save his family.
Bobbie's began acting at Cuyahoga Community College under Jimmie Woody. During that spend, he played in 2 Trains Running a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama written by the late August Wilson, as Sterling Johnson. Sterling has recently been released from jail. He does not show any remorse for his crime, which was robbing a bank because he was tired of having no money, and he seems poised to go back to prison. The play takes place in the Hill District, an African-American neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1969. It explores the social and psychological manifestations of changing attitudes toward race from the perspective of urban blacks.
Bobbie also appeared later that season in The Glass Menagerie; New York Drama Critics' Circle Award winner. The Glass Menagerie is a memory play by Tennessee Williams in 1944. He played Jim O'Connor the 'The Gentleman Caller' and an old high school acquaintance of Tom and Laura. Jim was a popular athlete and actor during his days in High School. Laura discovers that Jim is the boy she was attracted during high school and has often thought of since, though the relationship between the shy Laura and the "most likely to succeed" Jim was never more than a distant, teasing acquaintanceship. The Glass Menagerie is a beautiful play symbolizing how fragile people really are.
He has also portrayed both Lincoln and Booth in American playwright Suzan-Lori Parks's Pulitzer Prize for Drama play winner Topdog/Underdog and Split Second by Dennis McIntyre as an Africa American officer who executes a white car thief. The central issue is whether the officer should tell the truth and face the consequences of having killed an inveterate criminal and noxious racist, or continue with his lie and go on with his life.
