America's Sweetheart
Born in McKinney, Texas, on June 27, 1985, Cory set his sights on acting at a young age. Mesmerized by action and dramatic films, Cory was confident that acting would be his career of choice. Raised as the middle brother of three boys in Greenville Texas, Cory did not pursue an acting career until he completed college, because his parents could not afford to make the parental commitment at the time. However, Cory's life changed after his freshman year in high school when his parents convinced him to follow a new and improved academic path; and he moved to DeSoto, Texas with his aunt in exchange for a better high school education. After successfully completing high school, Cory continued on to Grambling State University and later transferred to Louisiana Tech University where he completed his Bachelors of Science degree in Computer Information Systems.

A relative newcomer to Hollywood, Cory's first big break came with a role in the feature film, "The Great Debaters" while working as a computer technician at a casting company that was casting for "The Great Debaters." Cory was afforded the opportunity of a lifetime to work with Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker. They were very instrumental in educating him about working in the entertainment industry. Since then, his career has been moving full speed ahead.

Cory currently resides in Burbank, California. When not working, he enjoys reading, social events, and mentoring children and young men.
