Ronrico Albright

Ronrico grew up in Memphis, TN. His first name was given to him by his father, Herman Albright. His middle name, Ronrico, was given to him by his mother, Shirley Albright, after seeing a display of Ronrico Rum in a liquor store. Ronrico attended Wooddale High School. At the age of 16, he was told he resembled Will Smith for the first time by a Driver's Ed instructor. The following year, he saw the movie Bad Boys (1995). He was inspired to become an action movie star after watching one of Will's action scenes. He graduated Wooddale in 1996. He enrolled at Tennessee State University until 1998. At the age of 24, he began to pursue his acting career. He joined a talent agency for a few months until he realized that the agency never sent him to auditions because blockbusters and major studio movies were rarely filmed in Memphis. His pursue of an acting career was put on hold until he saw a casting call on Facebook 10 years later. In January 2014, he was cast as a waiter in a local independent film called The Cellular Effect. This was his first movie role, but the production of the film stopped before it was finished. This led to a recast of the film, but Ronrico was not recast. A few months later, he was cast in another local independent film called A Troubled Mind (2015), which was his film debut.
