Meet Draper Wynston

Today we’re excited to be connecting with Draper Wynston again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Draper, thanks for joining us again. Just to level set a bit for folks who may have missed our last interview together, can you briefly introduce yourself?
I am thrilled to reconnect with you and share updates on my journey in the arts. Having a career as an actor, director, and producer has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. My name is Draper Wynston, and I’m passionate about film and television and everything it represents. Through my work I have had the privilege of sharing insights, lessons and experiences to help new and aspiring actors build a strong foundation for their careers. I’m committed to making a positive impact in this industry, and staying grounded in the service of others. When you approach this career with a heart of service, it transforms the work into something deeply fulfilling and rewarding. My mission is to truly inspire other artists like myself with my love and passion for film and television.

Alright, so our main goal today is to give our audience an update on what you have been up to since our last conversation. We’d love to hear how things are going and what you are most looking forward to or excited about these days.
The journey has been nothing short of incredible, and it still feel like I’m just scratching the surface. Since we last connected, I’ve had the opportunity to direct a feature film and land roles on BET+ and Lifetime. I recently wrapped a heartwarming holiday movie and am eagerly awaiting the release of the highly anticipated feature film, “The Beautiful Struggle”. Along the way, I’ve also had the thrill of starring in several commercials which brought a fun and dynamic energy to my work. Right now, I’m celebrating the release of “King of Dallas’,, on Amazon Prime, a project I’m immensely proud to be part of. I have an incredible Team behind me, my Agent Jill, Manager Gina, and Publicist LaShirl. They have believed before my career blossomed. Beyond acting, I’ve taken on a new challenge by teaching and mentoring aspiring actors, helping beginners and enthusiasts navigate the art and industry of acting. It’s a rewarding experience that keeps me inspired and grounded. Of course, I’m staying ready, auditioning, and prepping for the next role, and I can’t wait to see where this exciting journey takes me next.

Alright, so let’s do something a bit more fast-paced and lighthearted. We call this our lightning round and we’ll ask you a few quick questions.
