Dante Dumas gained a passion for acting very early in life. After playing Martin Luther King in a school play, he set forth to become an actor and never looked back. Growing up in a military family, Dante would delve into the stories of comic books and television to escape the highs and lows that came with moving from one location to another. He would act out the performances of the characters from his favorite stories, taking on roles of both hero and villain. Dante would soon find inspiration in the form of an actor named Denzel Washington in the early 80s on the hit show St. Elsewhere. Denzel’s career, hard work and determination fueled Dante’s’ dream to one day become a star himself.
