Eddie Goines, a native of Jackson, Tennessee, spent his formative years in Lakeland, Florida, where he developed a strong foundation in athletics. His impressive athletic prowess ultimately led to his selection by the Seattle Seahawks in the National Football League draft, marking the beginning of his professional sports career. Unfortunately, his time in the league was cut short due to career-ending knee injuries.
Undeterred, Eddie redirected his energy towards a new passion - acting. He launched his acting career in the vibrant city of New York, where he honed his craft and laid the groundwork for his future success. Eventually, he made the move to Los Angeles, a hub for the entertainment industry, to further his ambitions.
In addition to his acting pursuits, Eddie Goines has also founded the Diligent Actors Workshop in 2001, a weekly gathering that provides a platform for actors to refine their skills and collaborate with like-minded individuals. This initiative not only serves as a testament to his dedication to the craft but also underscores his commitment to nurturing and empowering his fellow thespians.
