Ernest Scooby Rogers

Ernest, also known as Scooby or Scoobyrogers, caught the acting bug in 1997 when the local news announced how to be an Extra in a movie. "Show up tomorrow morning at the local baseball field and be a Buzz Fan" , they said. So he did. The movie, Major League 3: Back to the Minors. This is where he was able to see the behind the scenes of how a movie is made. This is also where he met one of his then favorite actors, Scott Bakula. He spoke with Bakula and got his autograph on an old movie ticket stub. The love for movies grew from there forward. Due to family and work life, several years passed by before Scooby was able to submit for more work. Things seem to work out in his favor from 2005-2010. He submitted for work on Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, at this time he seen the potential to work as an extra and have the chance to get up close and personal with the movies actors. Within this time frame he also landed a speaking role in the independent film Dollar Girl, including a few more movie roles as an extra/background.

After making his dad the promise, he lost over 80 Lbs in 2 months and started the process to enter the Air Force National Guard. December of 2013 his father passed away, 1 month later scooby kept his promise and took his oath to join the Air Force National Guard, which ended a 17 1/2 break in service. Since then, life has changed in many ways. Moving to the Beach in South Carolina.
