Artist Profile: Collins Pennie

Collins’ is a story of true inspiration, born in Brooklyn, New York; Collins spent half of his childhood in numerous foster homes only to move out on his own at the tender age of 15. An ordinary kid who quickly realized that he wanted more out of life than what the Brooklyn projects had to offer, he began singing, acting and dancing. At a very early age Collins realized that nourishing these gifts would enable him to leave an environment where drugs and violence prevailed and were an inevitable. Collins' undeniable talent and determination made major industry power players take notice and after only six months in the business, he landed his first role playing “Sean” on the hit CBS day time drama “As The World Turns.” He followed that two short months later with a guest-starring hit NBC drama “Law & Order.” His other past TV credits include, CBS’ “Without A Trace” and he also recurred on the network’s hit series “CSI: Miami.” His past film credits include a lead role in hit Sony Screen Gems’ remake of Prom Night, and also the teen comedy Fired Up. In addition to acting, Collins is an accomplished dancer and has appeared in videos for P’ Diddy and Beyonce’s Get Me Boddied. He has also been a featured model in the coveted CK One fragrance campaign for Calvin Klein.
