      Actor Bio
      Darren Walker Conrad, an Award Winning Filmmaker, was born on 10 February 1968; to Darryl Walker Conrad and Sarah Gail Phillips, in the small southern town of Gastonia, North Carolina. Darren's Father was an All American Football Player who's shot in the NFL was stopped short by knee injuries. Darren's Great Uncle was All American Football Player and Former Oklahoma State University Athletic Director, Wade Walker. As Darren began to walk and talk, his artistic and musical mother began to notice the child had a natural knack for signing, playing the piano and drums, and acting out stories. Darren's childhood consisted of church plays, school plays, children's theater, church choir, school chorus, and band. Playing piano by ear, his natural God Given Instrument was drums. Darren also excelled in athletics; playing football and baseball through college. As Darren continued through his teenage years, he Majored in Theater and then walked away from football after college. The death of his father in 1989 lead Darren down a different path in life. Instead of going forward with the arts, he joined North Carolina State Law Enforcement, and is still active today in the profession. Darren has received hundreds of commendations and awards in his career. He received the highest law enforcement certification awarded in 2002; the North Carolina Advanced Law Enforcement Certificate. In 2010, he graduated from the North Carolina State University Police and Public Administration Masters Program. Throughout his busy adult life, Darren never forgot his artistic roots. Around 2006, Darren jumped back in the saddle and began really learning and studying film acting. After a few years of private coaching and instruction to make the total transition from stage to film, Darren signed with his first agent. After booking several independent projects, Darren landed his first Principal Role in a National SAG-AFTRA Commercial. Darren's dream was to become a Member of the Screen Actors Guild; and in December of 2010, that dream became a reality. Darren's next true love, passion, and talent was that of writing. Between 2011 and 2012, Darren wrote and produced two SAG-AFTRA Short Films for artistic and festival purposes. He then started casting and producing other SAG-AFTRA and Non-Union Films. Darren's work as a writer started to attract some very experienced actors. In 2013, he proposed a story idea he had in mind for years to a North Carolina Director by the name of Jesse H. Knight. "Partners" not only became a reality, but a two year journey. A story based on the lives of two, small town police officers; it attracted several known and experienced talent such as Marco St. John, Thom Gossom Jr., Bonnie Johnson, Maureen Dowdell, and Candace Blanchard. "Partners" is a SAG-AFTRA Feature Film which was released in January 2016. The film has been highly rated and reviewed; and is having a great 2016 festival run. Darren is getting ready to release his newest, SAG-AFTRA Short Film, "A Father's Love", in October 2016. Darren has now produced 24 films to date and has written 6. He has 41 Credited Roles on IMDb. Between 2010 to present, Darren has booked 6 National Commercials as "Principal"; and has been booked for "SAG Extra" in several others. He has worked as either Principal, Lead, Supporting, or Highly Featured in film, television, and commercials with such known talent as Tom Cruise, Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew Modine, Bob Gunton, Marco St. John, Thom Gossom Jr., Maureen Dowdell, Francine Locke, Bonnie Johnson, Tamarah Murley, Candace Blanchard, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Tommy Lee Jones, Whoopi Goldberg, Rutledge Wood, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, and many outstanding local and regional talent. Darren is a very powerful and emotional actor that has learned to stay, "within the box". He can roar like a lion or purr as soft as a kitten.
