Kevin D. Baker

SHORT BIO: Born in Baltimore, MD and raised in Augusta, GA.
I've noticed that people in Baltimore don't have coon (raccoon) traps in their yards to catch and cook critters. Coon-on-the-cob, anyone! I began taking acting classes in 2006 to
help me with a screenplay I wrote and had copyrighted. I believe in taking real live instances and finding humor.

EXPERIENCE:
*Several Improv shows
*'Norma' and 'Aida' (Final two productions for the Baltimore Opera Company.)
*'Hammarskjold' Spotlighters Theater, Baltimore, Md; The role of "Mputa"
*'How Do You Know' (Film)
* MASN commercial
*One other tidbit. I am a playable free agent QB in Madden NFL 2004. Me, Kevin Baker!

FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPINGS:
Extra cheese, extra sauce.

INFLUENCES: 'There Will Be Blood' (not a comedy, but an influence to act.) ' Married with Children,' ' Sanford & Son,' 'What's Happening,' 'Good Times,' 'Saturday Night Live,' Leon Erol shorts, Three Stooges, Rodney Dangerfield, rambling drunk/drug addict philosophers in Baltimore City who happen to know the secrets of life, 'Crank Yankers,' 'The Jamie Foxx Show,' Politicians (cough, cough!)

ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Pisces
the fish. Even though I can't swim. Damn, I hate that stereotype!

*Performance Workshop Theatre; Baltimore, Md
*Yvonne Erickson; Acting Instructor; Baltimore, Md
*Catapult Improv Group; Baltimore, Md
* Drop Three Improv: Baltimore, Md.
