Host Arlene B. Mitchell's Interview with Child Actor Omar Kelly

Last week Host Arlene B. Mitchell met with an actor that she thought was very talented and he wasn't even trying to be.

It was more like he just wanted to be himself and at the same time allowed me to see his talent without pushing it in my face.  He was charming, sincere, no nonsense and very smart for his age.  His name is Omar Kelly and he is at the tender age of 13 at the moment. This young man has done television, film, print work, theater and I heard some of his voice overs as well.  Arlene watched a clip that was on his Youtube page and it had her laughing so hard she almost had tears in her eyes.  His attitude was easy going and very laid back as he was getting ready to go into his acting class.  She asked Omar questions and he answered them honestly and quickly while he listened for his class to be called.  Arlene was in the "One on One" acting studio at 34 West 26th Street with Omar's mom Linda and Arlene said: "She was a delight to talk to as she waited for her son to come out of class". Omar is already part of SAG-AFTRA and he is represented by the Shirley Grant Management Agency (SGM) and some of his hobbies are Hip Hop dancing, Martial Arts, Swimming, Beat Boxing, Drums also he can imitate voices and more. He explained to Arlene that he likes comedy and some of his favorite comedians are Martin Lawrence, Tyler Perry and he would like to meet Chris Rock. One of the most important questions that Arlene asked him was "What advice would you give other young actors coming up?" Omar's answer was 'Be confident!' and believe me he is very confident about himself and what he wants. Omar will be speaking with Arlene in an radio interview and he will also be coming on the TV show (TBA soon).  In the meantime you can read up on him on his website http://www.omarkelly.org/ and connect and follow him on Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/JaleelOmar You can also find out quite a bit of information at his IMDB page at http://www.imdb.me/omarkelly and you can check out his videos on his Youtube page at http://www.youtube.com/user/Kellyls1

We could write more but we will save all of the big talk for the show so you get all the information straight from Omar.

To Linda, You are a wonderful mom, intelligent and very sincere with your goals and help towards your son. There need to be an award for people like you who push others to the height of their lives without asking for anything in return except love. You have shown us that diligence, understanding and confidence with a huge dash of love goes a long way.  Bless you Linda and we do wish you and your son much success!
