Background

About Lee Darnell

I'm a native of North Carolina, where I continue to live with my wife and daughter (with brief but wonderful stints living in Savannah, GA and NOLA). I've spent my life caring for and serving others. For well over 30 years I've worked as a law enforcement officer and paramedic, including time as an administrator, educator, and government official. I've responded to many national disasters, including the Deep Water Horizon oil spill cleanup, and have served celebrities, Governors, and Presidents along the way. I began my acting career in theater as a child and transitioned to film as a young adult. It is hard work, but using my imagination came second nature to me as an introverted only-child and that through the love of my wonderful parents and having the greatest educators, the use of imagination to stop acting and start "being" when in character made more and more sense. Writing and producing/directing are the logical next steps. I spend my free time doting on my family, traveling, and viewing the world through my camera lens as a photographer, having been juried into exhibits from Atlantic to Pacific, and always seeking new opportunities to show my artwork to new audiences.
