Renzo Lewis, a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was born with a childhood dream of playing professional baseball. This ambition led him to participate in the local Little League, where he quickly discovered a natural aptitude for the sport. By the age of twelve, he had risen to the top of Milwaukees Little League, boasting an undefeated team and excelling in multiple positions, including pitching and outfield play.
As his athletic prowess became apparent, Renzo began taking boxing lessons, which he thoroughly enjoyed, relishing the opportunity to "duke it out" with opponents twice his size. His remarkable speed and strength earned him a spot at the 1992 Eastern Olympic Try-outs for boxing, where he ultimately fell short in the final round.
After spending time in Chicago, Renzo's friends and fans approached him with a proposal: become their personal trainer. Recognizing the value in helping others, Renzo accepted the opportunity, and his reputation as a fitness expert grew rapidly. He was soon represented by Aria Models in Chicago and Ford in New York, enjoying a successful career as a personal trainer and fitness model for the next five years.
However, despite his professional success, Renzo felt an unfulfilled void in his life. On a whim, he joined an acting class with a friend, and the experience captivated him. Renzo's natural talent for acting earned him an invitation to join the Actors Group of Chicago, marking the beginning of his journey towards discovering his true calling.
After relocating to Hollywood with his daughter, Magdalena Ashli, Renzo rapidly landed a role in Ocean's 13, secured an agent just two weeks after his arrival, and has since been blessed with a plethora of opportunities. His dedication to acting is driven by his desire to provide for his family, with his daughter serving as his primary source of motivation.
