Notably\, his first real look as a recurring character was as the beloved ‘Uncle Mike’ from the hit sitcom\, ‘Everybody Hates Chris’. He then enjoyed a string of special appearances and more recurring roles including Bounce Network’s\, ‘In the Cut’\, ‘Rel’ for Fox Television\, and HBO Max’s ‘South Side’. Most recently Quake is enjoying recurring roles on CBS’ ‘The Neighborhood’ starring Cedric the Entertainer and preparing for the third season of the breakout hit series\, ‘Johnson’ for the Bounce network which had garnered over five-million views per episode in its first season. Additionally\, Earthquake can also be spotted on HBO Max series entitled\, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. \nEarthquake has enjoyed the film arena as well. His film credits include animated favorite ‘Barnyard’\, ‘Something Like a Business’ with Kevin Hart\, ‘Getting Played’ with Vivica Fox\, Ice Cube’s ‘The Longshots’ and the Kevin Smith cult classic ‘Clerks II’ with a recent appearance in Mario Van Peebles indie-project\, ‘Armed’\, and a new film project entitled ‘Bed-Ridden’\, for which he nabbed the leading role. \nAs an extension of his film work\, Quake has provided voicing for the ‘Barnyard’ film made-for-television program ‘Back at the Barnyard’ for Nickelodeon and voicing for global brands Nike and Beats by Dre respectively. \nIf all of this were not enough\, Earthquake hails as the host of his uber popular radio show Quake’s House for Kevin Hart’s Laugh Out Loud Network which is housed on Sirius XM Channel 96. Celebrating its fifth season\, Quake’s House airs Monday through Thursday and is the quintessential house of funny. The chat ranges from current events to the man-women complexities of romantic life and people tune in to hear Quake’s off-the cuff banter and celebrity drop-ins. \nPresently\, Earthquake is filming various projects and preparing for his new comedy special. A Washington D.C native\, he presently resides in Los Angeles and continues to sell out rooms on the comedy circuit\, on nationwide tours and remains a favorite among top tier stand-up comedy talent.

Creativity as a weapon. Expression as a call to action. \nSAVE THE DATES! Join us during the Bridgeport Art Trail for a provocative exhibition that bridges Bridgeport’s powerful history with the urgency of our present. \nDuring the World Wars\, Bridgeport earned its nickname\, “The Arsenal of Democracy\,” manufacturing the tools and machinery that helped shape history. \nToday\, a new battle of ideas is unfolding\, and artists are answering the call. This time\, our arsenal is filled with words\, images\, beats\, bodies\, and stories. \nAs the legendary Nina Simone once said\, “An artist’s duty\, as far as I’m concerned\, is to reflect the times.” \nART•SENAL OF DEMOCRACY brings together artists whose work confronts\, questions\, challenges\, and gives voice to the world around us. \nThis exhibition is more than a reflection of our times. It’s a REACTION. \nCome experience art that sparks dialogue\, challenges perspectives\, and reminds us of the power of creative expression. \nBridgeport\, CT | Bridgeport Art Trail \nSave the dates!
