"The only way you know you'll be prosperous in life is to be good at something-everyones good at something," Keenan depicts, "you have to find what you want to do and become the best at it by continuously working hard and never giving up until all your goals are accomplished."
Keenan Carver is a Melbourne, Florida-born actor who lived in Atlanta, Georgia before settling in Palm Bay, Florida. The ambitious self-starter has always had a knack for setting goals and making sure he attained them. He realized at a young age watching actors such as Will Smith and Hugh Jackman what his passion in life was for...acting! Starring, producing, writing, and assisting with plays all throughout middle school and high school, Keenan still felt underachieved. Broadening his horizons to film and television, music, and dance he sought out all training possible to become the most well-rounded person he could possibly be. He was even elected president of his high school drama club and demonstrated excellent director and leadership abilities. Having an exceptional high school career, Keenan was determined to never let go of his dreams and try his hardest to become the best Actor of his time.
Infused with ambition and drive he settled back in Atlanta, Georgia to attend the prestigious Morehouse College to study Dramatic Art further. Keenan has been cast in many productions in cohesion with Spelman College and is always geared up and excited for each production presented by his department as well as finding other film and television endeavors in the beautiful city of Atlanta.
"2012 is my year," he promises, "I can feel it!" Keenan says this year he's ready to begin his illustrious career in acting and takeover Atlanta's film scene. I am here to take my career to the next level and go full-force, things are only looking up from here.
