Lakeith Stanfield

I always knew I'd be an actor. I always knew I'd at least be on a big screen somewhere.

My focus is anything that allows me to express myself. Rap, dance, photography. Those are my forms of expression.

Victorville gave me opportunity to go inside and explore my imagination a bit.

It's been constant grinding and trying to secure work that I care about, tireless auditions and meetings. I've been fortunate that a lot of cool doors have opened to me, chiefly meeting great people who were inspired by what I've done and what they feel I could bring to their projects.

My biggest strength is I'm courageous, or if I am afraid of something, I do it anyway. I do what I feel. It's nothing personal against anyone, so that courageousness has been very good to me.
