From drama to comedy, actor on the rise Sylvester Powell has steadily made a name for himself in the entertainment industry over the last few years. This summer he can be seen reprising his starring role as Jessie “JR” Raymond, Jr. on the critically acclaimed, CW drama series “All American: Homecoming.” Season three will premiere on July 8, 2024, on The CW and will be available for streaming on The CW app.
Additional television credits for Powell include CBS’ “CSI:NY,” a lead role in the Facebook limited series “Five Points” (executive produced by Kerry Washington), and CBS’ “Criminal Minds.” On the film front Powell was the lead character in Mykel Shannon Jenkins’ short film “Kilo Valley.” Powell and Jenkins formed a great working relationship and collaborated on two additional film projects: “The Gods,” a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story and “Two Wolves,” an urban thriller drama.
A natural athlete, Powell won a Gold Medal for Tumbling in the Junior Olympics and continues to build his gymnastic skills while also enjoying basketball and baseball. His athleticism led him to starring in global advertising campaigns for ASICS and Nike, where he was seen across Europe, specifically in Nike’s first Paris/Michael Jordan collaboration store where he appeared
in the advertising campaign for the 20th anniversary of “Space Jam.” Powell currently resides in the Los Angeles area.
