Alonzo Golden
- Actor
- Additional Crew
Born in Newark, New Jersey, Alonzo was raised by his single mother
Lillian. The small family, which consisted of his mother, his younger
brother Anthony (A/K/A Royal)and himself moved several times across the
Midwest and East coasts. In 1982, the family became disenfranchised and
was homeless in New York City for several years, during which time
Alonzo attended acting classes at the Michael Sawyer acting studio but
was unable to fully complete them due to relocation issues and
financial setbacks. After an extremely difficult period, the family
eventually settled in Brooklyn, New York. Having always been raised by
his mother in a Christian manner, Alonzo easily turned a blind eye to
alcoholism and drugs (even during the period of homelessness), instead
enjoying his hobby of reading comic books (he is a self professed
Marvel comics fanatic), working out with weights and writing short
stories. After graduating high school, he briefly attended College but
left shortly thereafter due to financial hardships at home. He soon
obtained employment in various fields of employment including a
temporary dish washer and chef at Timberlake camp in upstate New York.
Due to his muscular 6' 1", 250 plus pound physique, Alonzo easily
landed several temporary jobs as a security guard and bodyguard. He
eventually accepted a position as a Campus Police Officer with the City
University of New York. During his free time, Alonzo found as much
acting work as he could, just to be on a production set. Although the
majority of the work was walk on roles and as a stand in, he enjoyed
being on production sets, as they served to inspire him to continue his
acting goals. Alonzo eventually moved out on his own but still keeps in
touch with family. After years of non union acting work, he eventually
earned a coveted membership into the Screen Actors Guild. He soon met
and befriended actor Bobby Washington, working with him on the short
film "Untitled Love." Alonzo has since worked on two scripts with
talented screenwriter Sandy Chertok and is working on two other scripts
with actors Tommy Tumolo and Alan Gary (respectively). He is currently
on the lookout for acting opportunities in television and film,
including comic book superhero and Sci-fi based features, police/crime
dramas, action adventures and comedies. He enjoys writing, weight
training and watching action/adventure & Sci-Fi films. He also enjoys
surfing the internet which he does frequently.
