Tenere Williams
- Actor
- Writer
- Producer
Raised in the great suburb of Altadena, just north of Los Angeles,
Tenere's childhood consisted of making friends with insects in the
backyard and imitating superheroes with a red towel as his cape
fastened around his neck with a safety pin. His athletic prowess was
honed on the 8-foot rims of the local YMCA basketball leagues, little
league baseball fields, AYSO / Club soccer and gritty games of Warball.
Tenere graduated high school from the prestigious Polytechnic School in Pasadena, CA and continued his collegiate studies at Northwestern University.
After graduating from Northwestern, Tenere delved into the financial and real estate arenas holding positions from financial analyst to mortgage broker to insurance agent to loan underwriter. Eventually, he could not suppress his creative juices and Tenere took a beginning acting class at the Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio in Los Angeles and as they say...the rest is history. He enrolled in the 2 year Meisner program at EMAS and has continued to train with Elizabeth Mestnik and some of the top teachers in Los Angeles in the areas of TV, film, improv and stand-up comedy.
Tenere is not only interested in pursuing endeavors in front of the camera but it is not uncommon to see him behind the camera whether it be writing his own play / short / web series, doing the lights and sound for a theatre production or as a Production Assistant on a friend's web series. Tenere loves to continually learn about all aspects of the entertainment business.
Tenere is married to his beautiful wife, Brandie, and has an amazing daughter, Kaleb. In his free time, Tenere enjoys playing basketball, traveling, and trying to decipher the lyrics of his favorite rappers.
