Born and brought up in Rayville Louisiana this southern son has sure spread his wings. Education can never be overlooked which is why our June 14, 1982 born baby saw fit to attend university at Monroe, Louisiana.

Not wanting to pursue these endeavours Roger entered the world of live theatre, becoming good at acting as his current stock exemplifies. Whenever you can combine your passion with an education and a career you are in good stead. Honours awarded this soon to be Louisiana legend include a bachelor in Fine Arts from the University of Louisiana in Lafayette. Further impressive credentials came by way of the American Conservatory Theatre in city by the bay San Francisco.
