We had the awesome opportunity to interview actor Jalen Parker. Check out the interview below.

Hi, Jalan! Thank you for granting the interview. Congrats on your emerging career. ? What inspired you to become an actor?

Well, when I was younger I really enjoyed the old Disney and Nickelodeon shows, such as Victorias, iCarly, Kim Possible, That’s So Raven, and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. At an early age, I told my parents I wanted to be on TV, so I began to train at a Talent Agency called “Millie Lewis of Savannah”.

Is there a role you haven’t played that you have your eye on?

I would really love to play a serial killer, a psycho, and a ninja. I’d want to play a serial killer because a serial killer is one of the toughest roles to play. It makes you dig deeper as does a psychopath. Those two roles are extremely difficult to play, and I would love to give it a try. Last, but not least, I’d like to play a ninja. I’d like to play a ninja because not many people know that I’m a 1st-degree black belt in Taekwondo, and I’d like to showcase what I’ve learned and train some more.

What has been your most memorable role?

In 2017, I played the role of Jermaine Jackson in a short documentary directed by Jermaine Jackson. It was an amazing experience and I had to dig deeper into that role.

What do you look for in a script?

In scripts, I look for things that are relatable. I look for different transitions, I look for clues that tell me what my character is actually thinking, and I also want to see if the character evolves in any way.

Jalen ParkerHave you considered directing a film project?

No, I haven’t considered directing a film project. I do direct, record, and edit my own music videos though. I guess that’s already a start.

The industry is always changing. How do you stay current in your field?

I stay current by watching the most outlandish shows and movies. Watching things people aren’t, will give you new ideas and it will allow you to make different creative choices in scenes.

What is your favorite hobby?

My favorite hobby would probably be writing and recording music. Music is my life and my passion and has always been since I was a child. It will always be something I do and love.

Do you have anything else you would like to share about your career?

I am a singer, songwriter, recording artist, actor, and dancer. You can follow me on Instagram @officialjalenparker, on Twitter: Jalen Parker, on Spotify: Jalen Parker, on Soundcloud: Jalen Parker, and on YouTube: Jalen Parker. My music is available on all platforms. Stay Tuned for new music.
