A versatile actor, artist and author, Timon Kyle Durrett made his mark on Alcorn State University both in his studies and on the men’s basketball team. Soon after graduating cum laude, the former college athlete and scholar moved to Los Angeles, where he honed his craft and pursued his dream of being an actor.

Durrett paid his dues with bit parts in independent productions until he finally started to earn guest roles on flagship shows. Television credits include CSI: NY, GHOST WHISPERER, CSI: MIAMI, “Castle,” “Samantha Who,” “Heroes,” “Girlfriends,” “Eve” and “Cherish the Day.” Also, he had a recurring role of the controversial Quinn Davis in VH1’s first-ever scripted series, SINGLE LADIES.  

On the stage he earned rave reviews for his role in the national tour of Tyler Perry’s hit play “The Marriage Counselor.” 

Durrett’s feature film credits include the role of retired football star Dom Clayton in “Cheaper by the Dozen”; Davis West, the philandering husband and father fans loved to hate on “Queen Sugar”; and conflicted husband Luvell Burton on “Stuck with You.”
