Najee Joyner
Acting / MFA
I come from Saint Stephen, South Carolina. Growing up, I got into films on VHS- my earliest film memories are Men in Black, Blade, and Spider-man (2002). I first made the decision to pursue acting in my senior year of high school. I am training as a writer-actor, and am committed to storytelling in all forms. To be able to turn yourself into a different person and live a different life with each new role is just dope to me. My personal goals are building my own tribe by writing shows and films to work on with my colleagues. I am a NXTUP Nominee for Actor in a Comedy for Death at Funeral and Den of Thieves.
