JAVAN NELSON
Javan Nelson went to acting school for 4 years. College, I guess I should say. Well, it was a University really. But for acting. He's done some of that out here. In New York. Acting, I mean. In the city of New York. A lot of the stuff was new work and it had really long titles or ones that you wouldn't recognize, so I'll just avoid that. But it was important. Yeah. He was also a bit, um--(what's the word?...oh!)--unready for this bio. For Gramms. http://www.javannelson.com/
