Other recent films include "Lost Girls: Angie's Story", "Out of Time" and the acclaimed "Toto", written and produced by Donald Martin, shot in Manila, and winner of the Audience Choice Award for Best Film at the 39th Asian American International Film Festival in New York as well as Best Foreign Film at the 16th Los Angeles Comedy Film Festival.
Blake also stars in numerous short films, including opposite Ming-Na Wen in Anna Chi's "Swimming", in "Fall to Fame", in "The Stanley James Intensive", "Ner Tamid", "The Extraordinary Flight of Atticus Walker and the Monster in his Mind" and in Leslie Zemeckis' "Staar: She'd Rather Be A Mistress", to name but a few.

Boyd made his directing and producing debut while starring as death-row sociopath Adam Robert Hessig in the short film "Fish," which was well received on the festival circuit.
For television, Blake recently completed a recurring role on the classic daytime drama "General Hospital". Prior guest appearances on major shows include "Shameless", "Kamen Rider," "Miracles," "The Agency," "ER," "7th Heaven," "V.I.P.," "News Radio," "The Watcher" as well as recurring roles on Netflix's "Messiah" and "Pensacola."

In addition to voice performances for several video games, Blake was chosen to voice Safety Kid in "Safety Kid on the Net" for Jewish Family Services, and he created the role of Trucker Jim Bob in the animated film sequel "The Brave Little Toaster Goes To School."
On stage, he recently completed a run of Joanne Mosconi's "You Love That I'm Not Your Wife" at The Players Theatre in New York. Prior to that, he appeared in almost 200 performances of Brad T. Gottfred's play "Women Are Crazy Because Men Are Assholes" in Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, and New York's famed Cherry Lane Theater. He also starred in the world premiere stage production of "The Death of Reason" in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
On the Los Angeles stage, he earned excellent reviews at the acclaimed Odyssey Theatre as John F.

Raised within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Boyd earned his BBA from Southern Methodist University, where he was a two-year title holder in boxing. While in school, he began work in modeling and commercials. Encouraged by such industry success, he moved to Los Angeles after graduation and, within a year, landed his professional debut role as a guest star on the TV series "Charles in Charge."
As a producer, Blake develops projects through his Lone Star Production company and he invests in real estate.
An avid sportsman, he is a skilled horseman and expert snow skier who has continued his diverse athletic activities alongside his career.
