‏Skipper Elekwachi‏

Skipper Elekwachi's notable credits include Straight Outta Oakland, Licks - which was nominated for several awards at SXSW - and the forthcoming Vengeance. A native of San Francisco's Hunter's Point, at a very young age he began pouring his energy into sports and acting as a way of escaping the hostility in his community.

His first foray into acting came when he studied with the American Conservatory Theater and his various sports pursuits lead to playing arena football as well as an invitation to try out for the 49ers. Skipper has a degree in Kinesiology from Concorida University Saint Paul, Minnesota and has continued his acting studies in Los Angeles with Margie Haber and Second City.
