Wolé Parks

Parks was born and raised in the Bronx, New York City as a first generation American to Belizean mother and Tanzanian father. He got his first taste of acting when he was scouted in high school and landed a national commercial for Kit Kat. He went on to graduate with a double major in Fine Arts at NYU's Tisch and a B.A. in Mathematics. He first entered the business world as a finance director while dabbling in acting on the side. His first big acting role was alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the feature film PREMIUM RUSH. He decided to make the leap headfirst into acting and moved to Los Angeles where he booked a series regular role on showrunner Marc Cherry's ("Desperate Housewives") series "Devious Maids", executive produced by Eva Longoria. From there he began booking roles back-to-back on some of the hottest television shows, building his reputation as an in-demand actor seamlessly switching between in both drama and comedy.

When he is not in front of the camera, he is busy writing projects and training to become a director, where he has already shadowed directors on "Superman & Lois". He has been sober for 16 years and practices a healthy lifestyle in his personal life. He is passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and has biked the AIDS Life Cycle twice (riding from SF to LA) which benefits the community in both SF and LA.
