Today we’d like to introduce you to Akono Dixon.
Akono, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
After graduating high school, I moved to New York City to work as an actor. First, I began auditioning and acting in student films and Off-Broadway shows, that soon progressed into television commercials, then to t.v shows and feature films. After working in the New York market for some time, Hollywood came calling and off I went to continue my journey here in Los Angeles, California.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
To be direct, its been a 50/50. There’s been times where I had no idea how I was going to continue living life as an actor, and there has also been times where I’ve experienced miracles happening right before my eyes. One struggle that I take pride in is when I traveled from Memphis TN to New York City on a Greyhound bus with $80 to my name and a dream of finally living up to be being, AKONO DIXON.
We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
I work as an actor, above all my other metaphysical endeavors. If I have to say what I’m known for, I think my fellow colleagues (actors, producers, directors, casting directors, manager/agents, supporters) know me for my authenticity, my realness, and intensity, my power, and the love that I have for each character whom I bring to life. I’m proud of knowing myself and being true to that, every single day.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
The most important qualities of my success would have to be: MOXY, RESILIENCE, and HONESTY, and lots and lots, and lots and lots… of MOXY!
