Sean Wallace(X)
- Actor
Growing up as young boy in rural Jamaica, Sean was always recognized as a talented young artist. He had a natural passion for art and music. Because of his drawing and sketching skills, he was the go-to student for art at his elementary school by teachers and students.
Without electricity or running water, Sean and his family lived the most basic life that you could imagine. With church on Sundays and school through the week, Saturday was the day to look forward to when he and his family would walk a little over three miles to his brother's house just to watch TV.
Shows like MacGyver, Renegade, and even his favorite Cartoons, Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, and a few others, made Sean want to become an actor. He would tell some of his family and friends that he was going to act one day. Some would laugh and others would say that he should go ahead because he's acting a fool of himself already. Sean would ask God to let him be an actor just like the ones in Renegade.
After moving to the states, Sean started creating his original art out of old rusty barbed wire and refurbished windows. He has shipped his unique one a kind art all over the world. You can see examples of his art and even place your custom order on his website at www.windowzofopportunity.com
Besides being an artist, Sean travels the country as a motivational speaker. He challenges everyone daily to think, if he take old rusty barbed wire and create beautiful pieces of art, how much more can we create a masterpiece out of our life?
You will often find him encouraging business professionals or a school talking to students sharing his story and using his barbed wire art as a point of reference to life.
In 2015, Sean was chosen as a TEDx speaker to share his wonderful art and message with the world. His topic was SECOND CHANCE.
Sean has been able to turn his art into merchandise with wearable art and just recently launched a new line of fitness apparel called, "Get Rippt with Barbed Wire".
As the barbed wire journey of Sean's life continues to twist, it has now presented him with his childhood desire to act.
Sean had his first film project in 2012. In December 2017, Hollywood came to the Jamaican's backyard in Kentucky where he was discovered by writer/director David Risotto and producer Branscombe Richmond who cast him in the movie, The Silent Natural. At the casting call, Sean realized that Branscombe Richmond was his childhood idol from the Renegade series that he grew up watching at his brother's in Jamaica. His prayers were being answered.
As doors continued to open in 2018, Sean was cast as The Ultimate Warrior/Zombie Lord in Real Resident 3.
