Jerome Hawkins

While earning a degree in finance, Jerome Hawkins landed a roll in a student thesis production of Blues for Mister Charlie by James Baldwin. He went on to play back-to-back leading roles in main stage productions of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun and William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Over the past few years, Hawkins has worked steadily in independent film and theater in the Los Angeles area. He completed the successful run of the original theatrical production Multiverse by Richard Robinson. Hawkins also stars in North Starr, which is in the Dramatic Competition of this year's 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
