Veteran actor, prolific playwright and award-winning director, Wallace Demarria received critical acclaim as well as award nods for his Shakespearean-inspired play "Colorblind." Likened to the Tony Award winning production "I'm Not Rappaport," the critics called Wallace's production genius! However, this is not the first time he has been applauded for his talents. Admiration and accolades for Wallace's thespian skills started at an early age.This gifted entertainer unknowingly began practicing his craft at the tender age of 5 in his hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. It was there that Wallace took his favorite cartoon characters from the TV screen and brought them to life in his living room. His repertoire of characters soon grew to include icons Muhammad Ali and Michael Jackson to name a few. It was his spot-on imitation of iconic comedian Richard Pryor that showed how well he could capture an audience through his art. The only time his number one fans - his parents - allowed Wallace to curse in the house was while doing a joke from one of Pryor's stand-up shows. His talent outweighed the need of disciplining him.Those living room performances helped Wallace land his first movie role at the tender age of 8. A young Wallace snagged the lead role originally intended for a white actor in the film "Too Scared to Laugh." Wallace continued developing his acting muscles as a member of the Little Rock Central High School's Troubadours, an acting troupe at the historic school. It garnered him praise and countless awards for his performances. Throughout his education, Wallace earned a substantial scholarship to attend the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Much to the surprise of everyone, Wallace chose another path - a Business major at Fisk University. Recognizing the ebbs and flows of the entertainment business, Wallace not only wanted to thrive in his art, but also, he wanted to manage and sustain it.With degree in hand, Wallace entered a drama competition. Beating out 5,000 other actors, he took the top prize, and was the only competitor offered a contract with a Los Angeles-based talent agency. The next logical step was a strategic move to Los Angeles, and he hasn't stopped since. Wallace has since sold 4 scripts and been nominated for multiple NAACP Theatre Awards, earning him a win Best Playwright in 2016. He has written, starred in, and director many critically acclaimed plays.Wallace is a multi-hyphened entertainment threat with a solid background that affords him the agility to easily move from actor, to writer, to director, to much more; all with a goal of providing life-changing entertainment that will span the generations.
