Willie Macc's Second Chance

Willie Macc has quickly come a long way as a member of young black Hollywood since first becoming known to a national television audience as the funny man on BET's extremely popular "College Hill Virgin Islands" in 2007. He has become one of the few Reality TV stars to make the transition from Reality TV to that of a working actor in Hollywood. He has been quite busy since his "graduation" from College Hill. Once he relocated back to Los Angeles from the Virgin Islands, he continued his small-screen run by appearing on multiple episodes of CSI, as well as Journeyman, 106th and Park and Take the Cake. He has also appeared in several national and regional commercials including Subway, Honda, Taco Bell, Pump Water in New Zealand and most recently, Olive Garden. Willie Macc's big-screen break came with his appearance in the 2008 comedy spoof "Meet the Spartans" where he played a "Yo Mama" joke cracking opponent of the Spartan army. In his second film, "House Arrest", Willie Macc co-stars as the Chris Tucker-like side-kick in the "Friday"-like direct to home entertainment comedy. Cited as a "modern-day Eddie Murphy", Willie Macc continues his destiny to stardom with two additional roles, one being in the action/comedy, "Chicago Pulaski Jones", and the other being "The Greatest Song". He can also soon be seen on the small screen in a recurring role in the upcoming television show, "Friends and Lovers: Ski Trip 2". Both an actor and comedian, Willie Macc made his first professional stand-up comedy debut at the famous BB King's at Universal Walk in Los Angeles on July 31, 2007. He continues to hone his comic skills by performing stand-up comedy routines in and around Los Angeles for both teen and adult audiences. A lover of sketch comedy in particular, he has developed a sketch comedy TV pilot with Barry Floyd and Jonathan Kite. Willie Macc cites Bernie Mac, Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy as his role models. He spells his name with two c's, so it would not be too confusing with Bernie Mac. But like Bernie Mac, Willie Macc aspires to one day have his own TV show.
