(photo credit: 1st and 2nd both from imdb.com)Up-and-coming actor, Lance Gross can currently be seen starring as Calvin Payne on TBS's "Tyler Perry's House of Payne". Gross acting career began after graduating from Howard University in which he received his Bachelor of Arts in Theatre. To pursue his dream of acting, Gross decided to give up a chance of becoming a professional track and field athlete. His professional acting career began in 2006 with being featured in one episode each of "Eve" and "The Bernie Mac Show" but his breakout role is that of Calvin Payne.
To strengthen his acting skills, Gross has trained at both The Ivanna Chubbuck Studio and Tasha Smith Acting Studio. He actually got his big break after Tyler Perry attended one of Tasha Smith's acting classes and noticed Gross's acting skills which later resulted in Gross being considered for a role on House of Payne.
Besides acting, Gross is also a model and has appeared in music videos by Rihanna, Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige. His next upcoming project will be the Tyler Perry film "Meet the Browns" which will be released in theaters in 2008.
