Bio
IronE Singleton is an American actor best known for his recurring role as T-Dog on the television horror series The Walking Dead, from 2010-2012.
Singleton is also known to audiences as the menacing kingpin Alton in the Academy Award-nominated film The Blind Side; the biggest box office grossing sports movie of all time.
Singleton appears on the big screen alongside Bow Wow and Ice Cube in Lottery Ticket. He stars alongside Nicolas Cage, Guy Pearce and January Jones in the feature film Seeking Justice and had a leading role as Glock Nichols with Neve Campbell in the TV movie Sworn To Silence.
Singleton's talent is on display in several television pilots, including ABC's Detroit 1-8-7, VH1's Single Ladies and TNT's Franklin & Bash. Among his other television credits are CW's One Tree Hill and BET's Somebodies.
As a result of IronE's success on The Walking Dead, he was sought to write an introduction for two zombie theme anthologies; Zombie Survival Crew: Undead Is Not An Option and Appalachia Undead.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Singleton's story embodies everything we have come to understand about the lives of many inner city youth growing up in low-income housing projects.
Fatherless and having lost his mother to HIV/AIDS when he was a senior in high school and watched his brother spend most of his life in Georgia's prison system, IronE fought to have a life far different from the one he knew growing up.
The irony of his story is that, while all the odds were stacked against him, IronE Singleton still overcame his troubled childhood to attend the University of Georgia on academic and football scholarships where he completed a double major in Theater and Speech Communications.
Prior to breaking into film and television, Singleton wrote, directed and performed a critically acclaimed One Man Stage production entitled IronE... The Resurrected, which garnered rave reviews.
He later transcribed the production into a semi-autobiography book manuscript which chronicles his life from poverty to fame. His ambition is to have it produced as a movie along with his current screenplay Volleyball Vixens.
IronE is also overly enthusiastic about incorporating his non-profit performing arts school, IronE School of The Arts (ISA) which provides youth with a performing arts program that is intellectually stimulating, emotionally compelling, aesthetically enriching and personally relevant with a strong emphasis on truth, purpose, respect for self and others and love for all of humanity.
In his spare time, Singleton is a motivational speaker and lyricist. Samples of his music, including titles such as "We Are The Walking Dead" and "The Blind Side" are available on his website.
Singleton divides his time between Atlanta and Los Angeles with his wife and children.
