Actor in Harlem, New York, United States

After capturing “the acting bug” the second he stepped onstage for the first time in a musical starring role ("The Scarecrow") in The Wizard of Oz, the Afro-American & Native American-mixed male talent now known as Corey Corey went on to pursue his first degree in Film/TV Production at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh before moving on to study Drama at the illustrious Rutgers University. When in college, Corey started the campus' first drama club (Vanguard Theatre Society)... More, wrote for and directed two television shows (Reel2Real & Sex Scene), performed as a sports broadcast anchorman for WETS-TV and staffed news-writer for NBC’s WPXI-Channel 11, constructed radio PSA voiceovers for his campus radio station, and even traveled with a theater road group (Risque..Business) as one of their sole performers. He danced his way into his first international commercial/ad campaign for iPod and went on to appear in other various television spots (such as HBO’s “Oz” and “Sex in the City”, ESPN vignettes, “The Temptations” NBC mini-series, Warner Brother’s “Change of Heart”, MTV’s “Direct Effect - Beach House”, etc.) where he became the only Rutgers student within his major to work professionally in the field, at the time. A few of Corey’s stage credits include Six Degrees of Separation (“Paul”), Extremities (“Raul”), Much Ado About Nothing (“Conrad”), Torch Song Trilogy (“Alan”), 27 Heaven (“Jimi Hendrix”) – Off Broadway Rock Musical National Tour, War of the Worlds (“Announcer One” & “Cop”) – where he was nominated for a 'Best Male Actor' Cameo award for the Spotlight On Productions Theater Festival - and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (“Nick”) – which he performed in StadsSchouwburg, Holland. In film, you can look for Corey Corey in "Fluidity," directed by LaJon Daniels for the 2005 Black Men's Film Conference, or as "JuneBug," a 9mm-toting, big Black bad ass villainous bodyguard seen in the blaxploitation campy cult film, StarrBooty" - starring RuPaul, directed by Mike Ruiz, or "Ice Pick," the sh*t-talking thug in the 2007 annual 48-Hour Film Festival indie short entitled "No So Anonymous," directed by Julie Crotty, just to name a few. In his spare time Corey works as a photo-journalist (MAO MAG, Bleu Magazine, EdgeNewYork.com, etc.) while remaining a professional in modeling, writing everything from scripts and songs as well as working as a spoken word and performing artist throughout NYC. -- His stage name ("COREY COREY") is the actor's way of playfully showing the world that he has unique parallels to his many alternate egos.
