Jahking Guillory
The
“Kicks” Interview
with
Kam Williams
Jahking
and I!
An
undeniable young talent on the rise, actor and rapper Jahking
Guillory is already a veteran in the entertainment business at the
age of 14. Born and raised in Long Beach California, ‘King’
started pursuing his dream at 9 years-old, landing jobs in national
commercials, music videos and national print campaigns.
Graduating
to larger roles in film and TV, 'King has already shown how versatile
an actor he is, playing the ultra-cool kid with swagger, to the
computer geek, to the teenage drug dealer. In addition to acting,
'King is a talented rapper and works on his craft every day. He
writes lyrics about his life and makes beats with his friends to
every song he records.
Jahking
is also a championship athlete. He played running back for superstar
rapper Snoop Dogg’s Junior football team, winning five
championships. He is a track star, too -- winning the 800 and 1500
meter dashes in the Junior Olympics.
Here,
he talks about his starring role as Brandon in Kicks, a coming-of-age
adventure set in the Bay Area.
