New York born actor PJ Barnes, like most, started performing early in
his life. From putting on shows for his family, he eventually stumbled
onto the wonderful world of Theatre in middle school, where he first
took the stage. Always driven by his obsessive creativity, PJ is noted
for writing most of the material he appears in. A huge fan of sci-fi,
fantasy, and comic books, PJ was determined to stretch the borders of
reality in his work, putting his characters in incredible situations.
When PJ was in high school, he choreographed his first ever dance
number for his spring musical "Footloose". Since then, PJ has explored
the stage either by acting, or dancing, and has enjoyed doing both in
order to express himself in front of a live audience. Leading into his
senior year of college, PJ and friend, Keith Welborn, started the
company "ScrewUp TV", which started as a sketch comedy series, and
quickly evolved into something much greater. It would be the summer of
2011 when PJ would write, direct, and produce his first ever feature
film, "The Screw". The film would serve as their starting point into
being taken seriously in the film world. Later that same year, he would
write and direct his very first short film "Tree Frogs", which would
serve as a precursor to a later movie of the same title, which he plans
to film in the final quarter of 2012.
