We had a great conversation with Actor Garfield Wilson on The Chris & Sandy Show. This was a very raw & authentic conversation. We talked about so many things from family, sacrifices, acting, he told so many awesome stories to a whole lot more! This was a very FUN conversation for us. Parts did get heavy too so be sure to watch or listen!
Garfield Wilson was born in Surrey, England; the middle child of three to Jamaican parents. His family immigrated to Canada when he was six years old.
Having always felt a pull to all things creative, he organically fell into music and acting in his hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. After two years performing as the lead singer to a funk/soul cover band, Garfield’s first break was portraying Judas in “Jesus Christ Superstar.” He then ventured to Vancouver, BC, to pursue music and acting further. After singing in his own band, followed by a Canadian tour singing back-up vocals for Colin James, Garfield began to focus on acting.
Garfield has found success in the spotlight on screens both big and small with the likes of STOLEN BY MY MOTHER: THE KAMIYAH MOBLEY STORY opposite Niecy Nash, and COME TO DADDY, VENDETTA, with a myriad of television roles including the likes of : TNT’s SNOWPIERCER, ARROW, Once Upon A Time, Bates Motel, The 100, Continuum, iZombie, Zoo, Netflix’s Travelers, Van Helsing, The Good Doctor, The Man in the High Castle, Batwoman, and J.J. Abrams’ Almost Human, amongst others.
Next up for Garfield is Nickelodeon’s THE ASTRONAUTS, (NOV 13th premiere) a new drama series about a group of kids who are accidentally launched into space, with the adults left behind trying to frantically bring them home safely. The series marks a pivot for the platform in terms of content in an effort to compete with the edgier streaming platforms. The Astronauts is created by Daniel Knauf, who also serves as writer and executive producers. The series’ directors are Dean Israelite and Star Trek franchise veteran Jonathan Frakes.
