Known for his charming looks and deep personality, Michael Ealy blessed the movie screen with his role in Barbershop. When he left Silver Spring, Maryland, with a degree in English, he headed off to New York. From there he performed in several stage productions, including the Off-Broadway hits "Joe Fearless" and "Whoa-Jack". He's appeared in Showtime's Soul Food, on NBC's Law & Order and the ABC sitcom Madigan Men.

When he moved to Los Angeles, he landed a lead role in "Barbershop" after a friend informed him about it. In addition, he appeared in Kissing Jessica Stein and Jerry Bruckheimer's Bad Company, directed by Joel Schumacher. The natural, blue-eyed actor can be seen in HBO's Baseball Wives.
