We had a great conversation with Antonio McKay Writer & Creator of the Hit Show Sangre Negra on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about so many things from family, acting, passion, he told some great stories to a whole lot more. We also talked about the toughness it takes to make it in the entertainment business.
Antonio stars as Mob leader “Pretty Ricky” Santos in the TV series “Sangre Negra ..BlackBlood” now streaming on the Tubi TV network. He also wrote and produced the series and won the 2020 “Black and Latino film” best actor in an episodic TV series award for his portrayal of the character. Born to Jamaican and Hispanic parents, Antonio has landed the romantic lead in such films as “The Perfect Model”, “Sweet Perfection” and “Proximity”.
However, it was his nasty turn as the sinister pimp “Sparky” in Canada’s C.B.C movie of the week “Runaway” that was rewarded with the A.C.T.R.A Award for Best Dramatic Performance in a movie made for television and sealed his reputation for portraying slick, smart and sexy “bad guys”. Antonio has been the guest star in over 35 television shows in both the U.S and Canada including “Clueless”, “Highlander”, “Trapper John M.D”, “Law & Order” and “R.X” as well as a recurring role on the late night comedy hit “Jimmy Kimmel Show”. This versatile actor/writer has also been the lead in more than 25 theatrical productions in locales ranging from Broadway to Hong Kong. Antonio’s upcoming projects include the films “4bidden” which he also wrote” The Eye of Ra” and the swashbucklers “The Privateer” and “Count of Capistrano” as well as the 2nd season of “Sangre Negra”
