McKinley Clemonts

Sound like a Red Neck

Well, I'm an Actor wanting to branch out and just do nothing but entertain in every way possible so that I can get exposure. I'm hoping to do as much as I can to build up my resume, I just love meeting and conversation with people from all over. Growing up in a small town sitting in the northern part of North Carolina, people would always talk about getting a job and working there until retirement, that type of talk would give me the heebie-jeebies. Even today a lot of people back there still have a small way of thinking, that's why I want to be successful within the industry, so that people can see that anything is possible, "ANYTHING." For me it all started when I was a child, about 8 or 9, I used to watch the Jackson 5's cartoons, All the singing they would do just made me and every other kid sing and do a show of our own. Later I became a member of my church choir, then choir director. I wanted more, so I took some acting classes at Atlanta Screen Actors Studio and from there everything else is history, here I am. Recently, I was an extra in "The Kingdom" starring Jamie Foxx, that was cool, but I wasn't one of the leading people, I'll get'em next time. I'm also a freelance worker within Public Relations, not long ago I talked with customers about The Big Box Retail at Walmart. In the past I worked at the Holiday Inn, I was the Concierge, Bell Captain and Front Desk Clerk, it was a very interesting job, I wore many hats. Meeting what felt like hundreds of people daily, giving directions, keeping up with current events, the best restaurant, theaters you name it, the list goes on and on.
