When did it all start?
DeMarcus Bumpers went with a friend to an audition as moral support. While in the waiting room he heard another Actor receipting lines, and Bumpers stated to the actor, “I wouldn’t have said it like that” The actor handed the script to him and Bumpers receipted the lines on the script. Producer and Director walked in waiting room and heard Bumpers and immediately invited him to audition. Reluctant about acting, he said “No” twice before finally being convinced by the producer and director to audition for TV commercial.
He went into the room auditioned and booked the commercial. At the time DeMarcus was working in the oil field and preparing for LSATS for law school so he could practice law in the oil field and start private practice.
