Dex Elliott, a multifaceted individual, began his career with guest appearances on shows such as China Beach and Booker, which led to two major roles simultaneously: a starring role in the film "Boyz n the Hood" and a three-year contract on the ABC daytime drama "One Life to Live."
He took the three-year contract, but after only a year, left the show and New York City, returning to Los Angeles where he continued to book roles on ER, Last Action Hero opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a recurring role on Beverly Hills 90210 playing director Kyle Scott.
Dex then landed a starring role on the Sci-Fi show Babylon 5, playing Jonathan Harris, a character that the franchise later immortalized by creating his own personal trading card.
Throughout his career, Dex has enjoyed continuous success, booking series regular roles on pilots such as Valley of the Dolls and the NBC pilot Fast Company opposite Ann Jillian and Tim Matheson.
He has also landed several guest star roles on hit shows such as The Shield, Cold Case, CSI: Miami, and Without a Trace.
Additionally, Dex is an extremely talented Hip-hop artist, songwriter, director, and producer, having written and produced six solo albums and landed contracts with three separate major record companies.
Many of his songs have been featured in films, television, and video games, including the John Tucker Must Die-movie trailer, The Shield, Burn Notice, The Unit, Blue State Mountain, Reunion, Falcon Beach, and the 2KO video game PrizeFighter-trailer.
In his college days, Dex worked at a nursing facility helping autistic teenagers and adults and was also a live-in counselor at a boy's home for troubled youth.
Feeling a strong desire to make a difference in the world, Dex continued on that path and actually ministered preaching at several churches in LA and beyond.
However, when he discovered acting, he quickly realized his true calling and passion was to be an artist.
Dex is the Owner, President & CEO of Brown Rice Entertainment, an independent, multimedia production company, having written, directed, and produced several projects, including his first film, the cult classic "King of the Underground" a dark comedy starring Dex and featuring several other notable actors.
When not working on script ideas or creating new music, Dex stays active in the community, lending his voice and support to fight for justice and equality for all.
