Derrick Wayne Smith
ACTOR
Derrick Wayne is a Comedian, Actor, Writer, and budding Filmmaker. He was given the tag name "A Giant Amongst Men" at a very young age by an unknown preacher in a church service who picked him out of the audience and expressed that greatness was in his future. He has strong credits in film, television, and theatre, and can often be seen headlining, hosting, and simply acting a damn fool all around Los Angeles at venues such as The Icehouse, Haha Cafe, The Hollywood Improv, etc. and even around the nation at times. Remarkably, at his first comedy stand-up performance he was voted number one comedian by the audience, though he was on the bill with established working comedians. In theatre, not only has Derrick produced and starred in the edgy, legendary drama "Split Second", which soldout for most of the show's run, but he has also starred in plays at various respectable venues including the Stellar Adler Theatre and playing "Othello" at the Redlands Bowl Amphitheatre (seating 6000). Wayne was nominated for Best Actor in the 2006 COLSAC Theatre Awards and was a 2005 Methodfest Film Festival Actor Finalist. Despite having great film acting credibility, his ultimate plan is to write, direct, star, finance, and distribute his own films. His writing skills encompass both the drama and comedy genres and he is quickly developing a reputation as an excellent script consultant and collaborator. This diverse, hardworking artist also has a master's degree in Counseling Psychology and a background in hip-hop dance and choreography.
