Glenn Calloway's Art & Bio
Glenn’s hometown is San Francisco where his artistic journey began at age three. Family legend is that he could hold a pencil and scribble a picture better than he could feed himself. Glenn works in all mediums of artistic expression including theatre and writing but has a special passion for the visual arts.
Mostly self-taught, his skills were developed through art courses in high school and college. Glenn continuously improves his skills by experimenting with something new and learning from the results.
While in the Air Force at Riverside California, he auditioned for an acting role at the local Community Theater, launching his lifelong involvement with the performing arts. The led to set, make-up, lighting design and, eventually, directing community theater.
While working for Pacific Telephone and Telegraph in San Bernardino and Los Angeles, he appeared in several in-house informational films. Those films led to an invitation from PT&T to audition for a commercial about changing over to Pacific Bell due to the breakup of AT&T. Glenn was cast for the role and made several commercials which aired during the Super Bowl of that year. He joined the Screen Actors Guild and appeared in several films and TV including: True Identity, A Different Story, Scare Tactics, Angel, X files, and Postmortem. However, live stage is his acting preference and he has been very fortunate to have been cast in a list of wonderful roles including: Scottie in Tribute, Stanley in Street Car Named Desire, Griffith in The Desperate Hours, Hornbeck in Inherit the Wind, Aunt Martha in Arsenic and Old Lace. Also voice over and narration have been an enjoyable experience for Glenn as well.
In addition, Glenn has written four novels which he is currently editing. He hasn’t decided whether to try to publish them.
Glenn says, “All of the above have brought me to where I am today in my arts and influence every composition. Passion is an undeniable force that pushes and drives the artist’s spirit to create. As an Artist, I believe that we must compose our work in such a manner as to invite the observer into our passionate creative process, thus demanding the observer to define, in their hearts and minds, the meaning of the work before them. I push myself to give my observer passionate content that ignites feelings and new thoughts”
