Julian J. Walker

Julian Walker was just your average Hattiesburg, Mississippi college student when he attended an open call audition for a feature film shooting locally. Although he had no prior acting experience, Mr. Walker's untapped, natural talent caught the eye of writer-director Patrik-Ian Polk (Punks, Noah's Arc, The Skinny) and he landed the lead role of Randy Rousseau in the Mississippi-set coming-of-age drama "Blackbird" co-staring Oscar-winner Mo'Nique and veteran actor Isaiah Washington. Since then Julian has appeared on Bounce TV's hit series Saints & Sinners as youth choir member Taj & season four of BET's hits series Being Mary Jane as the talented, hip, always "in the know" employee Tyrone "Ty" Nicholason. He is the recipient of the 2017 Gentlemen of Promise Award from The Gentlemen's Foundation.
