Arvell "Mastrmynd" Poe is perhaps most recognizable from the first season of The House of Payne as Janine's friend, Fishbone ("Anybody want to buy a laptop?"), but he has also appeared in Daddy's Little Girls ("Monty! There's some girls in here!") and the series finale of Meet the Browns as the pool hall thug, The Whether Man. However, the University of Georgia graduate's experience far exceeds Tyler Perry Productions. Arvell, whose first featured role was in the independent, supernatural thriller The Other Side, has followed up with the Hip Hop drama, Step Off and the upcoming films blackhats and Devil's Knot (starring Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth). Moreover, Arvell performed in commercials for AAA and ESPN, and he had the honor of hosting the 2012 Hosea Williams Feed the Hungry event on Easter Sunday this year at the Georgia Dome.

The actor admits that even though he has a passion for acting, his first love is radio. He enjoyed his time doing college radio which eventually led to his becoming a deejay for the now-defunct Atlanta's 95.5 The Beat. Years later he created the theme-based Internet radio show The Takeover: Top 20 Countdown which he co-hosted weekly with his wife of eight years, Carmencita, on vVcRadio.com. When he is not acting, the Arkansas native enjoys playing video games, reading, and entertaining their daughter, January Jazmynn.

Arvell is still beaming from hosting the Miss Black International Pageant 2012 in August and TV viewers can expect to see Arvell and his family on Family Feud this fall.
