Biography

When he was three years old, Bryce Clyde Jenkins moved from New Orleans to Hollywood with his family so Bryce's father, Mykel Shannon Jenkins, could pursue his acting career. At that time, it was unforeseen that Bryce would soon follow in his father's footsteps.

Bryce, in 2008, landed his first lead in the short film, My Homework Ate My Dog. Since then, he has landed roles in features such as Easy A, The To Do List, and And One, which combined both his love of basketball and his love of acting. Bryce has also co-produced and starred in films his father wrote such as Off the Grid, Two Wolves, The Gods, and The Gods 2: The Darkside.

Bryce appeared in Disney's Bunk'd as the handsome Dante. He has appeared on TV shows such as The Mayor of Kingstown, The Michael Blackson Show, CSI Miami, The Mentalist, and Hallmark's Have a Little Faith, Perfect on Paper, and The Watsons Go to Birmingham. In The Watsons, Bryce plays 11-year-old Kenny Watson, from whose emotional perspective the story of the historically factual 1963 Birmingham church bombings is told.

If asked, Bryce would say his greatest accomplishment thus far is his role as Travis Younger in Broadway's A Raisin in the Sun, where Bryce at 13 years old made his Broadway debut performing opposite such greats as Denzel Washington, LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Sophie Okonedo. Bryce treasures his time alongside these greats and his time in New York as unforgettable.

Recently, Bryce wrapped up a film called Youn'G, which he and his father wrote and produced specially for Bryce as it tells the story of a young boy growing up and learning the meaning of family, friends, and love.

Besides acting, Bryce loves to play basketball and watch movies. And, in addition to attending regular acting classes, he is also a personal trainer and a high school basketball referee.
