"Ask a little boy what he wants to be when he becomes a man and you might
get an answer like “Fireman” or “President.” Asked that same question, I
looked my questioner squarely in the eye and declared, “I want to be
everything!” Today, as then, I want to explore worlds. I want to live lives
that I cannot experience if I stay in my own body. I want to push beyond the
boundaries of my own imagination and bare witness to the unknown. I’ve spent
my life trying to be every man and, after decades of wandering, I’ve
discovered the one man I was always meant to be: My name is Ethan Stone and
I am an actor.
For the past two years I have worked day and night building up the modest
career that I am now blessed to earn my living at. Under the mentorship of
actors Keith David & Harry Lennix, I’ve begun to develop my instrument and
my instincts, and have had some success with challenging roles in
professional theater, film & television. Each production has made me a
stronger actor and has led me on to greater opportunities. And while my
commitment to and love for acting is underscored by my resume, I believe
that the wealth of life experience that I bring to the stage has also been
invaluable to my career as an actor."
