Dohn is originally from Indianapolis, Indiana which is where he first started to develop his acting skills. Although he no longer lives there, Indianapolis has a special place in his heart. Throughout his career, he has worked with young people in the area who are also hoping to have careers in acting.
Dohn is a proud graduate of Morehouse College in Atlanta. According to LinkedIn, he graduated in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in theater and English. Morehouse is one of the most well-known HBCUs in the country and has a reputation for producing well rounded graduates.
Despite all of the success he’s had throughout his career, Dohn doesn’t have a large following on social media. He has just over 1,000 followers on Instagramand 3,318 on Twitter. He doesn’t post very frequently so that likely has something to do with it. As the popularity of Hightowngrows, there’s a good chance his social media following will as we...
Dohn’s career is a major part of his life, but it’s not his top priority. He is a devoted family man who loves spending as much time with his wife and children as he can. He married his wife, Marlene in the fall of 2013 and the couple started a family of their own shortly after.
There are some actors who don’t get bitten by the acting bug until later in life, but Dohn is among the bunch who got an early start. He fell in love with acting when he was in elementary school. His IMDB bio says that he made his debut in 4th grade when he joined a local after school theater program.
Giving back to the community has always been important to Dohn. He has worked as a tutor and teacher at different points in his career. He also helped start a foundation called Teaching Young Men Excellence(T.Y.M.E). According to the organization’s website, its mission is to “develop positive young male leaders to prevent the rise in gang affiliati...
After completing his studies at Morehouse, Dohn knew that he wanted to further his education in acting. While some actors prefer not to seek formal training, others believe that it is incredibly helpful. In 2000, Dohn earned an MFA in acting from the University of California, San Diego. The work he put in during school has certainly paid off nicely...
Most viewers recognize Dohn from the roles he’s had on TV shows, but he’s also graced the big screen a few times. In fact, one of his first ever acting credits was in the 2003 film Bruce Almighty which starred Jim Carrey. He also appeared in the 2008 movie, Custody Road.
Being in front of the camera has served Dohn well, but he’s also gotten some experience working behind the scenes. He has also gotten into production and was a co executive producer for the 2020 film John Henry which starred Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges and Terry Crews.
There are some actors who enjoy sharing their every move with the world, and others who prefer to live a more low key life. Keeping it low key seems to be Dohn’s style. Not only does he not post a lot on social media, but when he does interviews he likes to keep the focus strictly on what he has going on professionally.
