About
Colby Lewis is a Charlotte, NC native and self-described “city-country” boy with a passion for creating authentic, imaginative work.
A graduate of the University of Connecticut with an MFA in Acting Performance, Colby has brought characters to life on stages and screens alike — from Cassius Clay in One Night in Miami to Anthony in Gotta Dance, and starring as Marquis De Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson in Chicago’s Hamilton. While performing, he also founded his creative company, Dreamchild Inc, and appeared on NBC’s Chicago Med.
Recently, Colby has been seen on The Blacklist, Blue Bloods, Law & Order, and performing in Kenny Leon’s Hamlet at the Public Theater’s Delacorte.
An athlete, musician, proud home chef (just ask him), and seeker of truth, Colby believes art is where the answers live.

The title looks stylistic but (to pull the magic Oz curtain back), it’s mainly cause I don’t have the whole hang of this Squarespace blog shit yet(been a minute since my diligent MySpace page crafting days), but I will. Or I’ll just get something coded (shoutout T Brazzle on the site). But I do believe the heading to be true. THIS is why you’re reading this right now. You’ve ventured far enough through the fodder of the Interwebs to read my words. I thought this would be a nice way to share thoughts, poetry, writing, news, drops, or ANYTHING really, a la the Tumblr/MySpace days that I miss because the internet was well.....just the internet and real life was real life. Though those lines get blurred nowadays, I think the best kind of nostalgia lies in doing things that are still useful in whatever form works for you, like a famous author on a typewriter. I desire to be a better communicator and writer, so this will occasionally serve as a “brain dump zone” for that, if you will. The FUTURE is now. My goal is to be as PRESENT with the world as I can be. And if you don’t know me, this is your best way in. Have a blessed day;)
