Recently starred in My Dying Cit Vol. II (The Social Justice Suicide Hour) as Barry, a union activist, Mr. Nixon is the oldest collaborator of Dennis Leroy Kangalee.

An actor, director, acting teacher, acting coach, playwright, dramaturge and print model whose career spans thirty-five years on stage and on camera, Nixon first came to prominence as a New York stage actor in the 1990s, which culminated in his highly touted performance in the 1999 landmark production of Kangalee’s James Baldwin’s “Blues for Mister Charlie,” at the National Black Theater in Harlem. It was their first collaboration.

Nixon led his mentor’s - Ms. Gertrude Jeannette’s Hadley Players - for several years until her passing.

Ward teaches acting in NYC; TCA Acting Studio. During the winter of 2024, Ward played Polonius in KAE’s workshop of The Tragedy of Hamlet and later gave a heartbreaking performance in KAE’s first original play, The Life & Death of Art.

He is a firm believer in giving every role all that you’ve got while remembering to keep the joy in acting, always.
