Conversations with Le’roy Kester

Today we’d like to introduce you to Le’roy Kester

Hi Le’roy, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Hi guys! Ok so boom! For starters, I am Nigerian and proud to be one. I came to the states to pursue a degree in computer information systems and along the way re-ignited my passion for the performing arts; I used to be a dancer years ago so putting up a performance is really not new to me. I got into acting by being a background extra on notable movies and tv shows like Godzilla: king of monsters, Avengers: Endgame and Dynasty just to name a few. What began as a way to make extra income turned into me going all in after I completed my degree program. In the past year, I have been a principal on a few upcoming indie projects and my confidence on set has grown tremendously. I know I have a lot to offer with the talent God has given me.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It really has not been a smooth ride at all; can’t really go into the details but life has been life-ing lol. But like with anything great that’s worth doing, perseverance and strong faith have kept me going.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a Nigerian actor based in Atlanta Georgia.

Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
My advice, which applies to not just acting but to life as well, would be to first have a clear end goal or target in sight. Then, understand what it’s going to take and how long it could possibly take. After that is done, just begin. You have to start at day one to get to that one day you dream of.
