He is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and pledged the Mu Omicron chapter.

[on his role in Game of Silence (2016)] Look, Young Terry was one of the most dangerous minds I've ever developed. He was raised differently than I was and had very different life experiences than I have ever had. To find and understand the reasons to result to crime, gun use, fighting, bullying, sexual abuse, gang involvement, family hatred, and murder was the challenge.

[on his film "Remember To Breathe In The Dark"] ... Vulnerability can be perceived as weakness, but it takes strength to be open, exposing your feelings in any situation. I dedicated this film to not only my father, but to anyone who has lost a parent or loved one, and those who struggle with a speech impediment.

[on why he produced "Remember To Breathe In The Dark"] It was purely created and filmed to work through the tough process of losing my father; in the best way I knew how.

[on how he creates characters from script to a person] ... I use my own substance and allow the character to flow through me. I can adjust myself to become a closer version to how I interpret the character, but it's coming through the unique vessel that is me.

[on discovering his passion for acting] ... I have great parents who both encouraged me at a young age to discover what I wanted to do with my life. I was really aware of how the power of music, television, and film made me feel. Once I realized I wasn't a singer, I tried the drama club in middle school and realized there was a place for me to do what I was already doing for fun - imitating people, playing pretend.
