Terry D. Palmer
- Actor
Terry D. Palmer has been in "the game" a long time. And he's as active
today as he was when he portrayed roles in prominent films like
"Shaft's Big Score," "The Mack," and, arguably the icon of all
blaxploitation films, "Super Fly."
But Terry's experience goes beyond those. This SAG/AFTRA actor has been seen on stage (in "227," the live production that prompted the popular TV series; the classics "Native Son," "Selma," and more); on TV (HBO and ABC specials); as well as several TV commercials.
Terry has studied and worked with some of the most prominent actors and coaches today, including Edmund Cambridge, Marla Gibbs, Lincoln Kilpatrick, Ted Lange, Bea Richards, Nick Steward, Glynn Turman, and many others. His performances span the dramatic, comedic, and action-packed genres.
Terry worked as a union representative and organizer for SEIU LOCAL 99 AND LOCAL 347 for more than 15 years, representing Los Angeles city and school employees and juggling acting, writing and directing gigs in between. He has since left his secular career to focus on his goals in the entertainment industry, maintaining acute acting skills with as much stage work as possible.
When not working out in the gym, Terry can be found at a football game (he is an avid fan) or ringside at a boxing match.
