Evander Duck Jr.

Evander's roots are in Asbury Park and Neptune, New Jersey.

Film, Theatre, and Community Service seeds were planted early by a family immersed in Arts & Social Activism. His journey toward the dramatic arts began during his medical residency program. Practicing medicine 9 to 5, he looked forward to evening hours when he would B-line over to NYC and study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, (AADA).

Upon graduating he began auditioning and working in showcases, regional theatre, shorts, student, and independent films, and commercials. During this time, Evander continued to practice medicine, raise his kids, and study the acting craft at various NYC Studios.

Training at the Actors Center lead to study under the late Lloyd Richards which enhanced his commitment to the craft. He began to earn work in AEA & SAG-AFTRA productions. Acting became a priority, and lead to the decision to pursue the craft as a primary profession. Broadening his toolbox, Evander paused the audition hustle to earn an MFA in Classical Acting at George Washington University. His work continues in film, television, & theatre as does his appreciation and passion for storytelling.
