Copyright © 2012 Terrence Colby Clemons
"Brave" , "Magnetic" , and "Captivating" are just a few of the words used to describe TERRENCE COLBY CLEMONS , a rising star of both stage and screen. This Ryan Award Nominated actor was born and raised by a prayerful and loving mother in College Park, GA. While growing up in College Park, Terrence was heavily involved in both education and sports, serving as Class President, skipping two grades and even competing in Georgia's district and state Track and Field championships. Shortly thereafter, Terrence took a turn toward the arts: singing, playing the cello and trombone, and acting. His love for performing grew like a wildfire. A trailblazer in his craft, Terrence graduated with a BA in Theatre and Spanish from Morehouse College , and was the first "Morehouse Man" to attend BADA, the British American Drama Academy , where he studied under the tutelage of Fiona Shaw and Sir Derek Jacobi. After graduating from Morehouse, Terrence received his MFA in Acting from the UCLA School of Theatre, Film and Television .
Since moving to LA, Terrence has performed on CBS' "A Gifted Man" alongside Patrick Wilson , and in the world premiere plays "bonded" (Ovation recommended) and "House of Dinah", for which he was nominated for a Kennedy Center Ryan Award for Best Actor. Referred to as "an actor who we are sure to see a lot more of in the future" Terrence continues to thrive, currently starring alongside Common on MTV2's new hit comedy "Guy Code" .
In addition to performing, Terrence has taken YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook by storm, using it primarily to inspire, celebrate, and motivate. His YouTube show "Liberate Yourself in 90 seconds" is bound to be a blessing across nations. Check out themotivation page for more!!

"All of the acting is brave and noteworthy, most notably Mr. Clemons, his struggle emanates from the depths of his soul." - Stage and Cinema, Tony Frankel
"The very best that actors can have to offer are on display, and all are personable and empathy-inducing; Terrence Colby Clemons is a magnetic, intelligent actor as he inhabits Sonny." - Weho News

Playwrights Arena, LA
World Premiere
"The acting was stellar. Most notable were the performances by Diarra Oni Kilpatrick and Terrence Colby Clemons. Mr. Clemons, who played Peter Rivers, shined bright. He carefully calculated each of his choices as his character descended from a bright future with a good job at the university to being manipulated in a controlling marriage to a debilitating addiction to gambling and booze." -- LA Theatre Review
"Clemons' Peter is an eloquent portrait of a weak, alcoholic gambler." - - Backstage
