Tristan Wilds stars at Dixon Wilson, a star athlete and scholar in
The CW's new drama "90210." An 18-year-old native of Staten Island, New
York, Wilds most recently appeared in HBO's critically acclaimed series
"The Wire," and made his big-screen debut in the feature film "Half
Nelson," starring Ryan Gosling, which premiered at the Sundance Film
Festival.
Since making his TV and screen debuts, Wilds has
been a very busy young man. In 2007 he was cast opposite Roger Guenveur
Smith in the role of Adrian in the film "Indelible." The film is
currently in post-production and will be released in theaters in 2009.
Having made his television debut in the Spike Lee miniseries "Miracles'
Boys," he has also appeared in guest starring roles in episodes of
"Cold Case" and "Law and Order." Wilds has also appeared on the stage
in workshops for Roundabout Theatre Company's "Wool" and "Stockholm
Brooklyn," opposite Phylicia Rashad, at the Cherry Lane Theater.
Wilds
was heard but not seen when he became the voice of the main character
Blak for the animated feature film "Blokhedz," based on the independent
graphic novel by Mark and Mike Davis. Not letting any grass grow under
his feet, Tristan soon landed the role of Zachary Taylor in "The Secret
Life of Bees," the screen adaptation of the novel written by Sue Monk
Kidd. Starring opposite Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifa, Jennifer Hudson
and Alicia Keys, this movie is in post-production and will be released
in October 2008.
Wilds also stepped into the world of music
videos, appearing in "Ghetto Mindstate" by rap artist Li'l Flip
featuring Lyfe Jennings, as well as playing Jay Z's nephew in the music
video "Roc Boys." Wilds is also one of the fresh new faces in
Rocawear's 2008 "I Will Not Lose" campaign, as well as a Rocawear model.
Not
to be limited to other artists' music videos, Wilds is also a talented
singer and songwriter who is currently working on his first album. When
not on a television or movie set, he can be found hard at work in a
recording studio.
