- Actor

Lofton is born from mother, Angela Lofton
and father Willie Lofton and also has one sister, Kristan Lofton. At the tender age of 8, he wrote his
first song, recorded it and passed it out at school to all his friends
in the lunch room and gym. With his talent quickly taking the notice of
others, Lofton was offered the opportunity to play a role in the movie
"Hardball" in 2001 starring Keanu Reaves. This big screen film led him
to being featured on the "Hardball" music video featuring Lil' Wayne,
Lil' Zane, Sammie and Bow Wow at 12 years old. Upon graduating from
Proviso West High School in 2006, the same year, Lofton became the
Walmart Back-to-College Spokesperson, as well as made an appearance on
MTV's "My Super Sweet Sixteen", an NBC 5 News Segment and various
McDonald's commercials. As busy as Lofton was, his passion and talent
only drove him to do more, leading him to the 2008 movie "The
Promotion" starring Jon C. Riley and Sean William Scott and the more
recent 2008 Tyler Perry hit movie "Meet the Browns" as the role of
"Calvin." Aside from his first love of acting, he also has a love for
music which was present way before movie roles were being thrown his
way. "Triple threat" is not the word, for Lofton raps, sings, writes
songs, articles, and even movie scripts. He also contributes his "photographic memory" as
to much of his success. Lofton has always been a
star, even off the screens, and specifically in school where he served
as a star athlete at basketball and in football. Upon high school
graduation, he was offered a baseball scholarship to Grambling State
University but turned it down to pursue his dream
entertainment career.
