Rising actor D.L. Skinner is a force to be reckoned with. Since relocating to Los Angeles from the Bay Area, the Texas native has changed his whole life to live out his dreams as a successful actor in Hollywood.Having recently graduated from the Lee Strasberg School of Film and Theatre, he has turned his passion for acting and performing into a career. With a new talent agent, an impeccable new style, and a charismatic personality, he has become one of LA’s newest influencers.
From attending Lupita N’yongo’s Hollywood Confidential celebration, to attending several Beverly Hills Film Festival events, he is making his presence felt on the mainstream Hollywood scene. Balancing being a husband, a veteran, and creative, Skinner understands the importance of chasing your dreams no matter how high the stakes are.
As the B.E.T Awards recently took place, Skinner really shined. Landing on several red carpets, he caught the attention of Karl Kani at the BET Culture & Couture Fashion Show, in which Kani was honored. Learning scripts by day and meeting some of the most influential people by night is not an easy task, but Skinner is handling it with grace. As the busy week progressed, he was presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity to be one of the hosts of the official after party for the B.E.T. Awards alongside Druski.
Rubbing shoulders with Ty Dolla $ign, Jeremih, DJ Sky High Baby, and several others, it became clear to Skinner that he is on the right path towards success. As he continues to show the world that he is a star in the making, D.L. Skinner promises to uplift his community the way Denzel Washington and Chadwick Boseman have.
