    I’m a SAG eligible actor here in Atlanta. Still pushing. But, no matter what I do, my family will not believe that I’ve made it until I’m in a Tyler Perry movie. I’m a big fan and student actually, but to hear that tickles me. It shows your power and inspires simultaneously. Love it and Thank You for your leadership. One day though.

    Always looking forward,

    Jared Stovall

  10. Michael LeBron Davis

    I Believe I was meant to be in this field of acting though I have chosen it. I am a local commercial driver in Louisville, Kentucky. I make a decent living, but always wondered what if. I believe I have family already that are doing well for themselves in this field, but parents have lost contact. The reason of me feeling this way is that I am always pulled to trying to figure out a way to audition for something. Well, if anything is close to Louisville, Kentucky I am free on the weekend completely and free during the day from 3pm-9pm. Later

    Mr. Michael LeBron Davis

    Hello Mr. Tyler Perry,
    I am a 49 yr. old Afro-Caribbean female who; admires your work. Especially the TV series of “House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns.” I live in Toronto, Ontario and here, we have no TV series that caters to our community, ever since “Da Kink in my Hair” came off the air. Many of us would really like for you to come and start a comedy Series similar to the shows mentioned above looking into the lives of Caribbean and African families. I am an Actor who is looking to move up the ladder and will really appreciate an opportunity to take part in this type of project or any of your up and coming ones.
    Thank you and looking forward to here from you and hopefully meet you.

    Good evening I would love to know when there will be auditions in Baltimore and New York. I know God is accelerating this year. I watch Tyler Perry movies for years and he has had a phenomenal impact on me. I’ve been able to be in two plays, one was at the oldest African American theatre in the United States, arena Playhouse, the play was called daughters of God by Anthony Presley. This was A phenomenal spiritual impact on my life. My role was Lot’s wife, God is accelerating me. I hope it will be an opportunity to move forward. I appreciate in time and thank you.

I am currently writing my first novel getting the manuscript in order, and I have ideas for about three more books and screenplays. I never been in a tv show or commercial. I am a natural actor, I have been told by a new talent agents. I am 50 years old but I look younger. I would love the chance, I won’t let you down. I love all your movies and plays, and your character choices.
