Keith Powers

Keith became famous for his role of Theo alongside Gregg Sulkin in the hit comedy series, ‘Faking It’. It was created by Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov, on MTV. The show was on air for three seasons. The actor also played the role of Dr. Dre’s half-brother Tyree Crayon in ‘Straight Outta Compton’ (2015), which was an American biographical film. This role was the biggest work that he has done. The JE Model agency in San Francisco scouted Keith when he was just 9. This exposure was enough for the ‘Faking it’ actor to try out various things. He continued to do modelling and was signed by the reputed modelling agency Wilhelmina. He has endorsed well-known brands like Calvin Klein, GQ,Guess, Sketchers, K-Mart, Sears, Kohls, and many more. The model also tried his hand at football before realizing that acting was his true calling. He took the initial steps into acting with a big break in Warner Brothers direct-to-video comedy film ‘House Party: Tonight's the Night’ (2013), in which he was offered the lead role. He followed this up with ‘Straight Outta Compton’. In 2015 Keith bagged the role of La Darius Pope in Yahoo's comedy series ‘Sin City Saints’, where he portrays a rookie basketball player.

Though the model-actor doesn’t get to pick his roles but he says that he would like to play roles that are absolutely different from his real life. Keith is fascinated by acting because it lets him become someone new each time. His character of La Darius Pope in Sin City Saints is unlike what he is in real life. In an interview Keith said that he faced a lot of challenges when he started out. He says he used to give the best during auditions and yet not get the part. Many times he was very close to being selected but got rejected. But the talented person never gave up and stayed “faithful and confident” and continued to do better. He also struggle while annunciating his words but kept trying. Much love and respect to @_deekaylee for doing a live painting of myself back in my hometown. Also, thank you to @aubrii for letting me know. • MUSIC: @neweditionofficial - 'If It Isn't Love' • #NewEditionBET #SacramentoProud #KeithPowersArt #SOAH A post shared by Keith T Powers (@keithpowers) on Feb 8, 2017 at 11:59am PST

When ‘Straight Outta Compton’ was being thought about a controversy broke out as some people did not want the movie to be made and small arguments also took place on the sets. The movie is an American biographical film, which traces the career of gangsta rap group N.W.A., which did well at the box office. Keith revealed to Galore Magazine that his girl crush was on Zendaya but she has never responded to him. The cutest thing that the rising star has done for a girl is to send flowers and chocolates. He also likes to write something on a card. Thanks for having me, @therealdaytime. A post shared by Keith T Powers (@keithpowers) on Apr 19, 2018 at 10:07pm PDT
