Roger Guenveur Smith
Roger Guenveur Smith was born on July 27, 1959 in Berkeley,
CA, to lawyer/New Frontier Democratic Club founder/Hon. Judge Sherman Smith Sr.
and dentist Dr. Helen Smith who were both active with the NAACP as well as the
NFD. Smith has a brother Judge Sherman Smith Jr. and both were raised in
Los Angeles during the height of 50's and 60's civil rights struggles.
Smith started acting in grammar school, albeit reading the
first fifteen pages of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer for a speech contest, and
continued acting throughout high school and into college.
Smith attended Occidental College (American Studies) in Los
Angeles, Yale University in New Haven, CT where he earned a doctorate in
American Studies (History Phd) and, as a lark, auditioned for Yale's Drama
School and gained admission. His classmates were Angela Bassett and John
Turturro. Additionally, Smith, as a Thomas J. Watson Fellow studied at the
Keskidee Arts Centre in London, England.
Smith lives and works in Los Angeles.
