Marcus Callender came straight outta Brooklyn and onto the television screens and streaming devices of Black households and TV watchers across the nation. With a filmography that dates back to 2013, it’s clear has been around for some time. Callendar was dealt a surreal blow in 2015. He missed out on the opportunity to play Dr. Dre in the NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton, however, in keeping with Brooklyn roots, Callender stayed on his grind. In 2017, he landed the role of Scooby in VH1’s The Breaks, alongside veterans Wood Harris and Tristan Wilds while starring in the Starz cult phenomenon Power, as the unforgettable Raymond “Ray-Ray” Jones, a ruthless and rogue plain clothes cop.
