Ambitious, Relentless, and Passionate are a few words that describe Troy Osborne Pryor. Raised between the cities of Chicago and Atlanta, he possesses an exquisite mixture of mid-western swag and southern hospitality.
As a student at the University of Illinois, Troy excelled in and out of the classroom as linebacker for the Fighting Illini. After several injuries, he realized the entertainment industry would take priority over his athletic ambitions. Years of athletics taught him that the most powerful muscle is the mind, so he began to explore other ways to make his mark on history. On campus, Troy developed the nickname “Fresh Prince” because of his striking similarity to the famous Will Smith character and after graduating with a degree in Communications, he dove straight into the industry. Troy’s versatility stems from his infinite curiosity about life. He has learned to channel the energy absorbed from a strong family and spiritual upbringing toward his life and aspirations.
Troy realizes that being an entertainer is simply a platform for greater work in the world. His great-grandfather would say, “I’d rather give a miss than miss a give,” meaning he would rather give his all and nothing happen than to miss the opportunity. As an artist his goal is to inspire all to live up to their full potential and truly understand how powerful one can be. He lives by the motto, “Observe, Adapt, and Conquer.”
Troy is currently represented by Stewart Talent and Factor Model Management for TV, Film, Print, and Runway and Naked Voices for voice over.
