BIOGRAPHY

Denyce Lawton
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Denyce Lawton, born May 2, in Seoul, South Korea, is an actress and model of African and Korean decent.

Lawton was a military brat living abroad in such countries as Korea, Japan, and Germany. In the United States, her family has lived almost everywhere including, Kansas, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Washington DC.

Lawton didn't have too many problems fitting in wherever she was. She attended Largo High School, among being in the Honors Pre-Med Science Biotechnology Program, Vice-President of the Future Teachers of America, she was also on the Yearbook Staff, Drama Club, Honors Band, and in charge of the school store. After school hours, she was an active thespian at the Shakespeare Theatre in Downtown D.C. and held two after school jobs.

Working at Stride-Rite Shoes in one mall and was assistant manager on weekends at KB Toys in another mall, Lawton spent her summers as a student Realtor for Southern Management Properties in Maryland. It's a wonder how she had time to study and still graduate with honors with an overall 4.2 GPA. Her SAT's was shy about 200 odd points from a perfect average.

Lawton later attended college abroad in Yokosuka, Japan and attended the University of Maryland where she majored in Pre-Med studies to become a Cardiologist and still dabbled a little in her first love by minoring in Black & White Photography and Broadcast Journalism.

Lawton soon decided Medicine wasn't an interest of hers anymore so she took time off from school to re-prioritize her career goals. When she made the final decision to go forward with her love of the Arts & Entertainment, she began to waitress, bartend, and promote parties in Chocolate City to save money to pursue her acting and modeling career.

In 1999, Lawton was offered an Executive Assistant position at Warner Bros. Records Urban Promotions in New York City. She took advantage of NYC and began modeling for FUBU, ADIDAS, Enyce, Karl Kani and Kemi Oil. She later moved on to do A & R for Priority Records, and was a personal Assistant to Ja Rule & Irv Gotti at Murder Inc. Records. She was also an Assistant Junior Publicist at 20th Century Fox Films in NY before she decided to move back to Los Angeles, California in December 2001 to officially take Hollywood by storm.

In less than 4 years of being in Hollywood, Lawton has had an impressive resume of appearances on magazines, commercials, TV sitcoms, and films including "7eventy 5ive", "Entourage", " Malibooty!" and "Half & Half", among others.

Lawton has also been a silent writer and revealed that she has 6 completed movie scripts, 2 sitcom treatments, a 1960's movie re-write and 3 episodics that she is currently shopping. On top of that, she has just finished a supporting role in an upcoming film called "IT AIN'T EASY" and has just finished filming "THE PENDULUM" in NYC, which she is the Leading Lady.
