Malcolm Barrett, a native of New York City, embarked on his artistic journey by studying at NYU's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts. His impressive television credits include a stint on several New York-based series, such as "Law & Order", "The Sopranos", "As the World Turns", and "The Beat". Furthermore, his feature film credits boast an array of notable titles, including "King of the Jungle", "Swimfan", and the critically acclaimed "The Rhythm of the Saints", which premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival.
At the tender age of 16, Barrett received his Equity membership after appearing in the McCarter Theatre production of "The Stonemason". He later joined the national tour of "Wit" alongside the esteemed Judith Light, while simultaneously pursuing his education at NYU.
Beyond his acting prowess, Barrett is also a talented wordsmith, with a passion for poetry, improvisation, and stand-up comedy. He was a member of the 2001 Nuyorican Slam Poetry team and the winner of the Young Playwright competition at Manhattan Class Company. Moreover, he is a founding member and artistic director of the non-profit New York City theater company Real Theatre Works.
Barrett's creative endeavors extend to the stage, where he developed and directed the theater's production of "Fallen Patriots" off-off Broadway. His work will soon be showcased at the upcoming Fringe Festival in New York, as he takes the helm to direct the play once again.
