Meet T.C. Stallings:
“THE ACTOR—WITH HIS EYESFIXED”…
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 2014 Super Bowl and the 2016 Rio Olympics. 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.

T.c. GOT HIS FIRST TASTE OF the ENTERTAINMENT world THOUGH TELEVISION—NOT FILMS…
While he may be mostly known for his films, T.C. Stallings’ first crack at entertainment stardom did NOT come from a movie—it came from a reality TV Show: Animal Planet’s King of the Jungle (Season 2), and T.C. came away as this hit reality show’s Season 2 Champion! “King of the Jungle” was one of the highest rated shows on Animal Planet and ran for 4 seasons.
T.C.’s prize for winning the competition was a hosting gig for a one-hour nationally televised adventure special on Animal Planet. The reality show itself aired nationally back in 2004, and you can now watch 26-year-old T.C. take on the other 11 competitors from all around the United States.

T.C. GRADUATED FROM THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL AS FELLOW CLEVELANDER HALLE BERRY
Although 12 years apart, T.C. and Halle both graduated from Bedford High School—home of the Bedford Bearcats, tucked away in Bedford Heights—a neat little suburban city in Cleveland Ohio.
The two are the only male and female actors from their high school that went on to become successful actors at the box office. Both have experienced very high points in their careers: Halle Berry as an Oscar winner, and T.C. Stallings as the lead actor in a film that at one point was the #1 movie in America at the box office in 2015 (War Room).
