Colin McCalla was born in Queens, NY and grew up performing local theatre before going to Pomona College in California to study Applied Mathematics. Before long, he veered from the academic path to pursue acting professionally and after booking a few co-star roles, landed his first break on Tyler Perry's Ruthless as a series regular. He can next be seen as a lead in the feature film, The Class, written by Nick Celozzi and inspired by the Breakfast Club. Outside of acting, Colin is an avid singer, dancer, and musician.
