I am extremely happy to have Lyon in our main cast ensemble.”

About Lyon: Lyon Beckwith was born in Baltimore city where he always found himself playing the Hero in real life because he couldn’t stand the thought of people less fortunate or different being picked on. Feeling like he had this responsibility, Lyon thought it was a good idea to get in the gym if he was going to be going up against these bullys. In turn, he became the bully’s bully, not knowing at the time that this new size and look would translate great on the big screen, which has now become his happy space. Lyon often plays the Bad Guy, due to his menacing look, but couldn’t be more opposite in person; but he still adopts the phrase, “Best Bad Guy money can buy.”
