Kelvin Witherspoon
- Actor
- Producer
Kelvin Witherspoon is an actor, producer, and philanthropist who was born and raised in Miami, Florida.
His accomplishments to date exemplify the defiance of all the odds stacked against him from birth.
His father was deported back to Panama when he was only a few months old. He never had the chance to meet him before his passing.
Raised in this tough world by his mother, who struggled to feed Kelvin and his six other siblings, Kelvin being the youngest of seven, he endured many challenges that included dropping out of high school, being arrested, and being shot.
However, at the age of 21, his life started to change for the better, and his decision to take charge of his life enabled him to start his first business.
This molded his mindset and allowed him to understand that more was possible in life.
In 2013, his mother passed away from cancer. He had no reason to continue living in Miami, so in 2015, he uprooted his life and moved to Atlanta, Georgia. There, his acting journey began.
He started his acting career with no resources, no money, and no understanding of how the industry operated.
He stayed persistent.
Since then, he has worked on some of the biggest networks and studios, including Showtime, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and HBO, to name a few.
He has been fortunate enough to work with some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
His journey, from where he came from to where he is now, and more importantly, where he is headed, is nothing but God's grace.
He had every excuse to quit. He had every excuse to say he can't. But his reason WHY was bigger than any excuse he could think of.
