A.C. McCray
A.C. McCray is an actor from Fort Wayne, Indiana. He grew up with a steady diet of 1980's pop culture that included everything from pop music to slasher films. At a very young age, an IQ test revealed he was at the genius level. He quickly became bored with the school work, and turned his attention to more creative avenues. In high school, he was encouraged to get into acting, and when he did, found it came very naturally to him. He spent his time in high school starting to hone his craft. His senior year, he was offered a scholarship to Julliard. In what he calls the biggest mistake of his life, he turned it down to stay closer to his family. He continued to work as a stage actor and director locally until his first break in film came in 2008. He landed a couple of small roles that helped him move away from stage and 100% into film. After saying farewell to the stage in 2010, his journey into film was temporarily stalled when he also lost faced a year of tragedy in 2011. That year, McCray lost his son, father and grandmother just a few months apart from one another. A.C. fought through his pain, and spent 2012 writing and directing his film debut, The Destination - which was released 1 year to the day of his son's passing. The film screened publicly to raise money for Riley Children's Hospital. Revitalized and refocused, McCray jumped back into films in 2013, and hasn't looked back since. He chooses to focus on horror and comedy, but is not afraid to mix it up and do a drama every now and then. McCray has shown through his life that if you keep your mind on something, you can achieve whatever you want.
