Vindication

 T.C. Stallings is a former professional athlete now finding success in film and television. T.C.'s desires shifted from football to acting in 2004, when he landed a spot on Animal Planet's King of the Jungle, a reality television show where he emerged as the season 2 champion. He then began a 4-year stint working with Russell Athletic as a fitness model. In 2011, T.C. made his feature film debut in the movie, "Courageous" where he portrayed the memorable character, "TJ". During his early success with securing lead roles in films, T.C. also quickly found success in booking several national TV commercials, with two of them being featured during the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2016 Super Bowl. It was in 2015 however, that his film career reached new heights with his break-out performance as "Tony Jordan" in the hit film, "War Room", which soared to #1 at the box office. Several films later, it would be his portrayal of the real-life homeless, depressed, and drug addicted "Cecil Johnson" in the film "No Vacancy" that would forever change the types of roles that T.C. seeks. After the mental, emotional, and technical challenges required to play Johnson, T.C. was deeply challenged--and hooked. He credits the depth within these types of roles as the "it factor" that makes them so powerful, and for him, the most desirable to work on. T.C. is a wide-ranging actor, a huge advocate for clean family entertainment, and enjoys positively impacting the lives of others.
