Cameron Finley, a talented individual born on August 30th, 1987, in Garland, Texas, was destined for greatness from a very young age. His parents, recognizing his boundless energy, enrolled him in an acting seminar at the tender age of three, where they discovered a spark that would ignite a lifelong passion for the craft. This early start led to his first professional gig, a Shell commercial, which marked the beginning of his remarkable journey in the entertainment industry.
By 1992, Hollywood took notice of the young prodigy, offering him not one, but two movie roles. His big-screen debut was in the film "A Perfect World," followed by a supporting role in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," alongside the talented Mary Steenburgen. His television debut came in 1994 with a guest appearance on the popular show "Walker, Texas Ranger."
Cameron's subsequent roles included the lead in the cinema remake of "Leave It to Beaver," as the iconic Theodore Cleaver, and a supporting role as Travis in Sandra Bullock's "Hope Floats," directed by the acclaimed Forest Whitaker. He continued to hone his craft, taking on various performances before eventually turning his attention towards the sciences.
Finley's passion for genetics and molecular biology led him to leave his acting career behind, enrolling at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD),where he graduated in 2010 with a degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics. During his academic tenure, he authored nine scientific publications and developed several novel disease-fighting therapeutics, solidifying his reputation as a brilliant inventor, scientist, maker, puppeteer, and artist.
After a decade-long hiatus from the entertainment industry, Cameron returned to his artistic roots, taking to the stages of New York City with his unique blend of spoken word, puppetry, movement, and circus. His comeback was marked by a triumphant return to acting in 2018, cementing his status as a multifaceted talent with an unwavering dedication to his craft.
