Actor / Director Profile

Byron Lawson was born and raised in Vancouver B.C. Canada. After having studied Robotics Engineering at the University of British Columbia. Byron decided to focus on his love of film and acting and put his then job as project manager for a major property developer on hold. Since then Byron has consistently worked as an actor in various projects with the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Chow Yun-Fat, Mark Wahlberg and Jet Li. Perhaps the best depiction for his career is not gauged by any particular niche he's carved for himself, but rather by his desire to live his dream. Growing up he never thought it was okay to go after "His Dream". One of the only reasons he stayed in College was to be eligible to use his mother's airline passes, so that he could travel. He says he really got his education by traveling the world and not in school, He even played hockey in Sweden and Finland, and grew into his own individuality outside of the educational system. After College, a friend of his asked him to take a meeting with his agent, from this opportunity Byron ended up booking his very first audition. The rest is history and Byron has never looked back.
