ABOUT TYSON TURROU

Tyson Turrou is an Actor/Producer for television, film and stage. As an actor he is known for bringing an edgy, grounded likability to his characters. He has appeared in and produced over 25 TV shows and films, working with multiple Emmy award winning directors, producers and actors. Tyson’s conviction that an engrossing story is one of the most subversive ways to bring people of different backgrounds together guides his artistry. In his acting and producing, he combines his love of filmmaking with his belief that walking a mile in another’s shoes is the easiest path to erasing our societal divides. Born in the small rural town of Grand Junction, Colorado, Tyson grew up exploring the outdoors and learning a blue collar work ethic working in his grandfather’s construction business. Tyson was 12 when his sister got a job on “Thelma and Louise” and he visited his first film set. Watching Ridley Scott at work, Tyson fell in love with film. He left his small town roots to attend USC, studying acting and film with some of the most influential storytellers today. Excited to start his career, he graduated a year early and booked his first acting job a few months later. Although he loved acting, he knew there was more to his storytelling, so in 2015 Tyson returned to his film school roots and produced his first feature film, “Loners.\" He currently has several other films and series in the various stages of development with a wide variety of diverse filmmakers. Tyson lives with his wife, a math educator for teachers of young children, who for some reason is perfectly supportive of her husband’s artistic heart. Together they have a daughter who is the smartest, cutest, most entertaining kid in the entire world.
