Roger Edwards was born in Oakland, California. He grew up with two
older brothers (Randy and Ramond Wilson) and a younger
sister,(Romonique). He was raised solely by his mother (Rosemary)
throughout California's entire Bay Area. Growing up, Roger could be
described as hyper-active and mischievous, but his undeniable charm
gave him the ability to get out of any trouble he got into. From an
early age, Roger's artistic proficiency was undeniable. He had a
natural ability to draw anything he saw in substantial detail from age
3. At age 7, Roger joined the Golden Gate Boys Choir, in San Francisco
where he learned to sing at a professional level. He continued to
sharpen his singing skills throughout junior high, which lead to
various school musicals. In high school, Roger tried his hand at
several different interests, pursuing everything from advanced art,
music, drama classes, football and wrestling. Although he experimented
with diverse courses, nothing held his interest as passionately as
acting did. It was during his high school years that his passion for
acting ignited. His desire to pursue a career in acting was put on hold
due to unfortunate events which resulted in his enlistment into the
United States Army. During his military career, Roger experienced all
aspects of the military lifestyle, including a 12 month deployment to
Iraq. However, the time Roger spent in the military never deterred him
from his dreams of becoming an actor.
Since then he has appeared in national commercials for Walmart,
American Airlines, Dick's Sporting Goods, as well as other notable
commercials and print ads. He made his film debut in Kimberly Pierce's
"Stop-Loss" starring Ryan Phillieppe and Channing Tatum. He's co-stared
in numerous film and television productions such as "Friday Night
Lights"; "The Guardian"; "Chase," "Lone-Star" and "Spy Kids 4". Working
with actors such as Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher, John Heard, James
Wolk, Cole Hauser, Kelli Giddish, Amaury Nolasco, and in his upcoming
movie "Freelancers," he will perform alongside Robert Deniro, Forest
Whitaker and 50 Cent.
In the best-selling comic booked turned live action "Bad Kids go to
Hell" Roger will star as Craig Cook. One among six Crestview high
school students trapped in a library Saturday morning for detention.
The characters fight for their lives against a mysterious, supernatural
force believed to be a ghost haunting the school. Created by Matthew
Spradlin and Barry Wernick this film is said to be "The Breakfast Club"
combined with "The Grudge". This twisted, horror-comedy stars an elite
cast to include: Cameron Deane Stewart, Augie Duke, Ali Faulkner, Marc
Donato, Amanda Alch, Chanel Ryan, Eloise Dejoria, Ben Browder and Judd
Nelson.
