Who is Oscar?

A writer in passion, an actor in passing, a storyteller always—I’ve been chasing stories for as long as I can remember. My love for storytelling began when I first saw Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. I watched it religiously after school, letting my imagination take root in that galaxy far, far away. Then came Ender’s Game, a book I picked up at a school book fair that changed everything. I didn’t just want to read Orson Scott Card—I wanted to be him. Or maybe I wanted to be Ender… or Bean. Either way, that was the spark that lit the fire. I wrote my first short story at 12 years old.

Over time, my storytelling evolved from pages to performances. I earned a degree in Journalism from Norfolk State University and began a secure career with the federal government. But my heart was elsewhere. I eventually took a leap of faith, leaving that path behind to study acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York. Along the way, I earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Full Sail University. My acting credits include films on Amazon Prime, BET, and guest roles on CBS’s Bull and NBC’s NCIS.

After the pandemic, I felt a deep pull back to writing—my first creative love. While acting allowed me to embody stories on screen, I missed shaping them from the ground up. With a background in journalism and creative writing, and years of experience telling stories in front of the camera, the transition into screenwriting, content creation, copywriting, and editing came naturally. I now bring the same instincts I used to breathe life into characters—timing, voice, emotional rhythm—into crafting scripts, blog content, brand messaging, and more. Whether on camera, a webpage, or your timeline, storytelling is the core of my work. It’s the core of communication—and the core of who we are as humans.

I was born and raised in rural Virginia, but now reside with my wife in Los Angeles. I’m a country boy in the city, sure—but I still find joy in the outdoors, spending time with family, studying the Bible, and watching movies and television. My favorite films include Malcolm X, Star Wars, Interstellar, The Matrix, Event Horizon, and 2010: A Space Odyssey.
