What are your goals in life Darnell? Darnell stated… my goals are.. to get on television. I am going to be on the Disney or the Nickelodeon channel. Whichever one comes first. I am currently taking classes for acting roles in movies and television. I went out on my own (along with my dad) to audition for films and I was casted as an extras for a short film and also roles in many plays without professional training. Image what I can do with the right training. I don’t sing but I can act and do basic dancing roles if given the opportunity through choreography, but my main focus is acting.

Whats your goals in life?
My goal is to attain an agent or a manager. Currently my dad is my manager and agent. My dad has been doing an awesome job at it but, he can’t take me to where I want to be because, I just started in this “role of my lifetime in acting”, just like him. That is why my dad attained an agent for me. “MSF Talent Agency – Ms. Marion Falk” in New York City. I see myself on television. My dad will still be my manager. I see myself on television. I see myself The “Disney Channel or Nickelodeon. His goals; is to attain those desires of his and I believe he is going to achieve them and more. He said he can’t sing, but he can act. One way or another, (with the help of his father – Dale Dudley, who is his manager), he will make it through. He will make his dreams come true.

Who inspires you the most?
My dad, Dale Dudley. He inspires me the most. He is a good motivator. He get up early in the mornings to take me on auditions. He know that I am serious about this. He stays with me and wait for me until I’m finished. He never leave my side. I could remember, I went on an audition for eight hours and he stayed with me through all the duration. We were so hubgry. We ate afterwards. I did a shoot for Gully Hawkins. I was an extra and a stunt coordinator. I worked with Sophia Nestles from the Bookies, throughout all this, (which was during one day) he was on set with me for 11 hours. HE MAKES SURE I AM ON TOP OF MY SCHOOL WORK. Although, I’ve been going on these auditions and acting, I’m not slacking in any way because as I said before, he definitely make sure I’m on top of my school work. He helps me practice for a monologues. He drives me to my auditions. He pays for my headshots. He help me with my resume. He buys my clothes. He supports me inyway he can.. My dad is amazing. He is always helping me in whatever I do. I LOVE MY DAD. I don’t know where I would be if he wasn’t in my life. I’m really grateful for him. My mom is not in my life right now, but my dad is. He will be there. Since the time I could remember, he was and have always been the only in my life. My sister Sequoia Dudley supports me in everything I do. My brother – Dale Dudley Jr (we call him Junior) also supports me. My brother is an actor. He had many roles (main character roles) in many plays and movies before. He decided, he wanted to stop acting for a while. When I started acting and going on auditions for different things and getting the roles, I guess you can say, I motivated him to get back into acting. Right now, he is getting his headshots together . He is preparing himself to get back out there – into the acting world. My family is awesome. I love my brother, my sister and I especially love my dad. He is my dad first; my friend second; someone I can talk to third; and by far…. (Besides my maker above – GOD)…… HE IS MY BIGGEST INSPIRATION IN LIFE…. Thank you GOD for allowing me to be his son.
Darnell keep saying….. “Five years from now, I see myself in Los Angeles as a very successful person. I will continue to climb to the top.” There’s No limits…
I believe him. If he keep saying those words to the GOD’s above, his dreams will come true. One day, you will see him on top of the world……..
