T.C. was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He began performing at a fairly early age, albeit not professionally. Beginning at the age of 9, performance opportunities presented themselves mostly via school and church plays. Although much enjoyment came from these periodical stage plays, T.C.'s passions unexpectedly shifted to the game of football. From the age of 12 until the age of 28, football stardom topped the list of desires for him. T.C. accepted a full scholarship to play football at the University of Louisville and enjoyed a solid collegiate career with the Cardinals. He never reached the NFL, but did play professionally in the Arena League, Europe, and in Canada. His last professional game saw him win the European Super Bowl and was named Most Valuable Player on his team. Once it became apparent that Football was nearing its end, T.C.'s desire to act was rekindled. T.C. landed a spot on "King of the Jungle", a reality show on the family oriented network "Animal Planet". He went on to win the show, and then star in his own one-hour special on Animal Planet, which was the grand prize. As the pursuit for a major acting opportunity continued, T.C. landed a few small commercials and a role as an extra in the Disney film "Secretariat". After this, he competed in the AMTC (Actors, Models, and Talent for Christ) in which he was a finalist for Best Overall Male Actor. Following this great achievement, T.C. landed the role of "T.J." in the movie "Courageous", which was his debut in a major motion picture. T.C. has been married 10 years to Levette Stallings, and has two children, Antonia Christian (9), and "A.C." Stallings (2). He is the CEO of "Triumph Fitness" Personal Training in Louisville, Kentucky, a contracted fitness model for Russell Athletic, and a color analyst for the University of Louisville football radio broadcasts.
