Rodney has served his country, and is a Gulf War Veteran. His experience defending his country as a Marine has colored his work and his performance message. He is also a theatre and performance artist, utilizing his hip-hop dance skills, his spoken word poetry, singing and rap to create a myriad of unusual and original characters for film, television, commercials, and stand-up comedy appearances. He has worked with the Groundlings and 2nd City in Chicago; toured the world with Rennie Harris Pure -Movement, a concert dance company out of Philadelphia, and is known for his award-winning role (Lawrence Olivier Award--Best Performance) in ROME & JEWELS. Other stage work includes TOTEM ROAD with the Olive Dance Company, and a stint with the Baltimore Outreach Program in YO BALTIMORE, where he was again, recognized with critical acclaim. His TV appearances include the MTV Vibe awards, hosting Comedy Central, and numerous cable TV interstitials.
His shows, "Hollywood Africans" and "My Mothers Son" has been gaining momentum in theatres across America. Rodney is currently working on an urban take on Richard III called Tricky Dick. As a song and dance man, his inventiveness springs forth when creating organically with copoeira, martial arts, yoga and hip-hop. All culminating in Hip Hop Theatre.
