He is also featured in two upcoming independent films: My Favorite Five, a romantic comedy directed by Paul D Hannah; and Looking for Lions, a crime thriller directed by Bradley Ragland. A triplet, Ikwuakor was born In Wheatridge, Colorado, the son of Nigerian parents (his father is a college professor in Nigeria). Attending the University of Colorado on a track and field scholarship, he was considering a sports marketing major until a college advisor recommended an acting course. Ikwuakor signed up and was quickly cast in the part of Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird. It became a life-changing experience. Always fascinated by history and African-American rights issues, Ikwuakor then became heavily involved in the Interactive Theater Project in Colorado, a professional acting troupe that specialized in theater for social change. This experience became a great influence on his career goals. During this period, he was cast in Ink, the critically-acclaimed, locally produced, independent science fiction feature that won Best Colorado Film at the 2009 Denver Film Critics Society awards and was considered “one of the best films of 2009. (JoBlo)” This positive experience taught Ikwuakor a great deal about how to independently produce projects, market and take chances. Arriving in Los Angeles after college graduation with a B.F.A in Performance Theater, Ikwuakor took a series of jobs to support his acting and producing ambitions. His life changing project, Chance, was a short dramatic film, which he wrote, produced, co-directed and starred in. Its insight encouraged him to drop his day job of three years and focus entirely on his acting career. Since then, he has never been busier. Ikwuakor’s television series credits include Outlaw, Love Bites, Victorious, The Comeback, Silicon Valley, Castle, Hawaii Five-O and We Are Angels. In addition to Ink, he has been featured in the films The New Republic, Murder in the Dark and Not Safe for Work. He continues to work actively for social change. His latest endeavor, Project One Smile, will determine how far one smile can change the world.Eme Ikwuakor’s WebsiteJulie-Kathleen Langan’s WebsitePJP_graphic_Hollywood_CAActorsE Chat is a Live Chat Show on Actors Entertainment, a channel on the Actors Podcast Network, a Pepper Jay Productions LLC, with PR-Marketing-Sales by Live Video Inc..facebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterestlinkedinmailby featherTags: acting, Actor, Actors, ActorsE, Actress, California, chat, chat show, Entertainment, Hollywood, Interview, Jay, John Michael Ferrari, Kelly, Kurt, Kurt Kelly, live, Live Video Inc, Los Angeles, Network, Pepper, Pepper Jay, Podcast, Productions, Streaming
