Ready for his next role

Tymon Shipp started acting after graduating from high school in Denver. He completed several acting workshops and performed in several plays, including Ma Rainey's Black Bottom which was named the “best play” of the 1988/89 theater season by the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News.

The next logical step was to move to Los Angeles and continue his training while auditioning for all sorts of acting jobs.

In the years that followed, he’s played an angel, a police detective, a store clerk, an old-school barber, a musician and more.

Tymon can be found on Actors Access, Casting Networks, and IMDB.
