BIOGRAPHY

RJ Walker is an actor, dancer, writer, and independent producer from South Bend, Indiana, now based in New York. He began his show business journey in Los Angeles in 2011 as a transcriber on Dancing with the Stars, training as a dancer and actor throughout. His decade-long improv training includes Second City, UCB, iO West, and The PIT NY, alongside additional acting training at John Rosenfeld Studios, Simply Acting Inc., and The Actors Centre (now Seven Dials Playhouse) in London, England. RJ is best known for his scene-stealing role as Clark County alongside Donald Glover, Lakeith Stanfield and Brian Tyree Henry on FX’s Atlanta, with additional credits including Boomerang (BET), Wine Country (Netflix), Baskets (FX), and Castle (ABC).

Outside of acting, he has volunteered as an actor for Young Storytellers (NY & LA), volunteered as a cook at God’s Love We Deliver, planted trees with the TreePeople of Coldwater Canyon, and can make a pretty good vegan taco (the secret’s in his homemade tomatillo salsa).
