Son of an accountant and a mailman, he was born in Hacienda Heights, California, groomed to become a doctor, a pediatrician according to his parents. However, forced to play musical instruments as a kid by his mother, Lawrence grew fond of the arts and a curiosity for the imagination. While receiving his Bachelor of the Arts degree in THEATER at UC IRVINE, he found another outlet of self-expression through dance, which led to his participation on MTV'S AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW with KABA MODERN. After graduating, Lawrence continued to flex his theater muscles at award-winning theater companies such as THE GUTHRIE THEATER, EAST WEST PLAYERS, SOUTH COAST REPERTORY & SAN DIEGO REPERTORY. He is now currently a member of THE KINJAZ. A few credits include: THE WALKING DEAD, SLEEPY HOLLOW, NCIS: NEW ORLEANS & LOS ANGELES, THE ORIGINALS, HONEY 4, CIRCLE, HAWAII 5-0, THE PURGE, LAW & ORDER: SVU and a bunch of bootleg films he slangs out of the back of his trunk. Catch him as TOMMY WAH, a series regular on the NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES: WU ASSASSINS.
