William Boyd’s Bio“I am feather upon the wind”“Keep staring at clouds with my feet planted to ground”

Background2000-2005(Growing up)I attended Benjamin L Smith High School AP, Honors student!!!I played Football and Wrestling and was on the Debate team.Personally my parents had been divorced for three yearsSo I and my brothers took care of house while she worked two jobs.My mom did what she could to raise three boys, she made sure weWere connected to every opportunity Greensboro had to provide from youthYMCA to later Teen Court for me she soon became a consumerTechnical administrator for Time Warner Cable.She kept me motivated and would not let me falter from my dreams.While in High school I was in drama club,We performed many plays some old fairy tales, some written by teacher.I played sports to be able to do action films when I did films (Able to take a hit).My senior year I got to be in my first film, “The Sit in” me and the other studentsWere stand-ins, got to utilize theatrical acting skills?Also participated in my first Bodybuilding Competition!!!!!! Received second place.I was making my “Stem Friends” back then but only for best friends and family.Last summer of teenage hood got a job working at Winn Dixie before they went out of business. 2005-2010(College Years)I got a full ride to North Carolina Wesleyan College (NCWC) with a full ride!!!!!While in college I continued Bodybuilding; participating in Bodybuilding shows during the summers.My main focus was Theater, History, western/international acting (Method, Shakespearean)We practiced characterization, examined the many types of theater as they relate with past eras times.We studied some films that were based on plays.I am a stage actor at heart, the bodybuilding shows provided me with practice for choreography skills.Also how to look good when it counts, in the hopes of a scene when my clothes would be ruined and half to go. I would spend the school year getting in condition judge prescribed posses As well as performing the two minute routines choreographed by me with moms help. I would combine dance and martial arts with Greek statuses posing my signature pose is the “Statue of David” ;-). My work study job was first just the Biology Departments Janitor I would come in a clean the lab materials, and area.But as time went by I began to learn more about the study as a result of assisting the professors with Labs and setting up materials for labs and experiments. So I was renamed a Lab Tech, because I assisted in experiments as well as preserved animals and worked complex lab equipment. I was also part secretary and most importantly helped out bio majors and students who don’t get it? My minor was Justice Studies, able to read laws, understand government systemsSide focus was criminology; if it was not for this I began to take other courses Sociology, Psychology, History (American, World) which in essence gave me academic knowledge in humanities, so as an actor I can see a character from many views. This coupled with World Literature helped me the difference in how other nations use language and tell stories. Helped me later in studying (watching) international

films. Also helps in understanding what drives a character films through time etc. Homer to Clive Barker, Edger Allen Poe to Friday the 13th.Psychology allows me to see the character or help make the character more real by learning how people think also with controlling my emotions as wells drives and what causes emotional problems?Sociology helped me be able to add how the society said character was in affected their decisions?Or if they were against it? Political science really coincides with justice to me I can understand political systems as well how laws policies will affects citizenry as well as the policies of other nations effecting world. I am multidisciplinary so I can on a good day go from one subject to the next.I also took some writing courses the basics the most important were stories from US around the world poets and storytellers basically I am a Humanities Nerd with some knowledge of bio-chemistry. 2010-2014(Four years of college to model and be a Brand Ambassador)Unfortunately my graduation year was 2010 the recession hit my cohorts pretty hard,For a year I really was trenching from talent agency to talent agency,Each with the same promise but none of them found me steady work.For a while we were all living with my mother again.But she continued to support use helping use find our way.Also during that time my 2006, 2008 nephews were born, and while my brothers went through transition (Looking for work, doing part time jobs) I took care of the house later, while they worked I took care of my nephews as well.You could say I kind of let go of my goal to be a performer, I would occasionally audition for gigs and did do some work.In 20011 I was a figure model for a camera company when I met a new friend she understood my plight and introduced me to branding promos.(On site marketing), luckily the Marketing agencies ask for the same info as the acting/modeling gigs . It was slow but steady becoming a part of industry. To be honest I, had to explain how my knowledge of social constructs to marketing directors that make me a good marketer. Not direct sales I just understand social groups thus I understand how to speak to them in a crowd or one. 2013-2014 (professional growth during personal down fall)Last year I was mainly a brand ambassador, I had just got done doing the AT&T promo for the ACC, Next I got contracted long term for “Kurique” coffee brewers, first time booked for the rest of year.During that March my mother became sick, me and my younger brother tried to take care of the house while she was in the hospitals. For that summer things for use got worse and worse, she could no longer go to work and we lost utilities (Air Conditioning, Water, etc.) my mother’s sisters came to insure our safety after that, My mother’s family along with my older brother tried to maintain house but it was over.we lost the house in October 3 my mother’s birth day and my first scheduled meeting with SCORE.It was disaster missed meeting and got evicted on same day.Note during that time I began creating the You Tube channel: Chapters from the “Spirit World” She was sick, had to escape, thought kids and people who like anime would enjoy it?Chapters from the “Spirit World” SCORE we also lost our family dog chocolate Labrador “Eve”My brothers had moved on, the oldest because of his job trucking.The youngest to take care of his sons, get their lives together.I tried to look for part time/full time work but found it impossibleMy degree did not matter, I wound up doing general labor, you know lifting boxes etc. During the winter I worked mainly at the Greensboro Coliseum,That summer I was doing general labor. We lived at the Ramada from Oct-February, family sent money plus gigs.

Hard to remember exactly but for two weeks we resided on Battleground staying in Panera Bread, Harris Teeter and a Steak&Shake. We had to separate and I lived in a shelter (The Weaver House) from February 15 to March 18th 2014. On February 23th I introduced my “Stem Friends” to John Woolsey he saw the potential and has been trying to help me become a character artist. I am now living with my estranged father who I have not been around for 14yearsIt’s been a surreal adjustment for both of use. He really does not like the person I have become, and does not see the value of my workIn any of the fields mentioned. I am now re-growing my performer career still doing BA events, Modeling. I got back in shape really from march-may (Wassa's Gym Wrestling Practices). My YouTube channel is well liked by kids and people who like anime. (1,000 views!!!!)I guess you could say I am trying to follow dreams, But really I would like to find my mom or at least find out what happen to her. Funny enough I got some news some time back while handing out flyers a cop alerted me my mom had put me on the missing person.I gave the cop my info then later after I had a detective on case I was told by that same precinct they had found her, my little brother took her to his house. We have been trying to put pieces back together ever since. I hope I did not bore you or talk too much, I had to shield my circumstance because I did not want to get any work from pity.I did not think of it as networking at first but talking to people was the most important.I know I said this before but I am happy to have met you.I really have always wanted to be in entertainment because of how characters can embodies a time or even a generation. Films can also take people were they may be too afraid to go? As you have read my personal life is in a word "F***** U****” but I am very professional. I take the Good, Bad and Ugly and try to bend into something whether while I’m doing a promo, on stage or modeling or my art work.
