Dominyck McCargo is an American born Actor, Singer, Musician, Dancer, and Writer. He starred in the movie Walk by Faith, the compelling story of a young boy's struggle to find a cure for his Sickle Cell disease. Dominyck also had a recurring role in the Emmy Award winning TV series American Crime, where he played Tre, a teen whose mischievous actions cause retaliation and racial divide.
Born in Albany, Georgia, Dominyck grew up in a single-parent household with his younger sister and mother. Despite the statistical obstacles, Dominyck watched as his mother overcame all that was thrown at her, in turn becoming a successful business woman, which fueled his ambition and determination to succeed. He and his family moved from Georgia to Maryland, then from Maryland to Texas where he would eventually find his love for acting. In 6th grade, Dominyck was all about basketball, until one day his mother came to him telling him she had an epiphany that he was a successful actor. At that time, he was 11 years old, and he dismissed that news. Later, however, he would come to realize the spirit of acting was always around him, from pretending his life was a TV show, to "pretending" he was a point guard for the Lakers while practicing in the back yard. All of this would tie into his future.
Fast-forward to age 15, basketball began to dwindle away, and Dominyck decided to join his school theatre program where his first assignment was to find and perform a monologue. Scrolling through the typical "monologues for teens" selection Dominyck couldn't connect to any at all, until he stumbled across a particular monologue originally written for a girl, about her parents getting divorced. From the moment he laid eyes on it, he knew it was the one, so he rewrote it to fit a boy. That next day, he performed the newly reformed monologue for his class, and not one dry eye was present in the room. The venom of the acting bug consumed his blood and he was forever hooked. At age 16, Dominyck began to model and later entered the "International Modeling and Talent Association" (IMTA) competition in Los Angeles, CA. There, he placed first in Monologue, third for Actor of the Year, and was awarded a scholarship to the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts (NYCDA). Dominyck credits his NYDCA training for turning him from "a kid who could act, to an Actor."
To date, Dominyck's upcoming projects for 2016 include the movie CaseWorker, where he plays John, a young man whose childhood is sacrificed to take care of his grandmother who has progressive Alzheimer's disease. He also stars in the movie Stage V, where he plays Dennis, a loner with a chip on his shoulder, who lives out the post-apocalypse with a group of other young people he desperately needs. Lastly, Dominyck will be recurring in the upcoming USA network series Queen of the South, where he plays Drake, second-in-command to a knuckle head drug dealer as they blindly get caught up in the Mexican Cartel.
