Actor/director Russell Hornsby has amassed a catalog of film, television, and stage credits that any actor would envy. From comedies to science fiction to dramas and stage plays, his craftsmanship has always rung sharp and true. Currently, Russell stars in the Starz’s drama Black Mafia Family from G-Unit Films And Television in conjunction with Lionsgate while also starring in Blumhouse feature film Woman In The Yard. He can also be seen as Don King in Hulu’s Mike Tyson mini-series Iron Mike and in Hulu / Searchlight Pictures’ The Supremes at Earl’s All You Can Eat opposite Aujanue Ellis, Uzo Aduba, and Sanaa Lathan. Hornsby starred in the Oscar-nominated film Fences, opposite Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, with a powerhouse presentation of his character Lyons, whom Hornsby played in the Broadway revival of Fences in 2010, also with Washington and Davis. Hornsby also recently starred opposite Regina King in the critically acclaimed Netflix mini-series Seven Seconds, from Veena Sud (“The Killing”), appeared in an arc in Showtime’s The Affair and in the box office hit sequel Creed II opposite Michael B. Jordan. Additionally, Hornsby has received an outpouring of praise for his award buzzworthy role in the Fox 2000 film The Hate U Give. Russell also starred in the Fox series Proven Innocent from showrunner Danny Strong and in the titular role in NBC’s Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector.
Also known for fighting to keep humanity safe from things that go bump in the night in his role as hard-nosed Detective Hank Griffin on NBC’s smash hit supernatural police procedural Grimm. Hornsby is no stranger to American living rooms having starred in numerous television projects including the acclaimed ABC Family drama Lincoln Heights as police officer Eddie Sutton, as well as Luke in HBO’s In Treatment, opposite Gabriel Byrne.
Hornsby’s other film credits include roles in the Jim Sheridan directed Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and the Sundance Grand Jury Award nominated Luv from director Sheldon Candis.
Hornsby also has an extensive theatre background and became an aspiring thespian after auditioning and winning the role of the Scarecrow in his high school production of The Wiz. He has taken the more traditional — and currently less traveled — route to his success by cutting his teeth on stage. While the phrase “paying his dues” is about as cliché as it gets when referring to an actor’s journey, Hornsby is its embodiment as he progressed from backroom performances
to the bright lights of New York City’s famed theatre district, Broadway, where he’s appeared in numerous productions including a stint in August Wilson’s Fences.
Born and raised in Oakland, California, Hornsby attended the theatre program at Boston University and spent a summer studying at the British Academy of Arts.

OUR FREEDOM RIDERS PARTNERS
ABOUT FIRST BAPTIST “BRICK-A-DAY” CHURCH
First Baptist was founded in downtown Montgomery in 1867 as one of the first black churches in the area, ultimately becoming one of the largest in the South. It was an important gathering place for activities related to the Civil Rights Movement, and was led from 1952 to 1961 by Rev. Ralph Abernathy, Dr. King’s right hand.
In 1957, three weeks after the official end of the boycott, the church was bombed along with three others nearby. No one was hurt but the church was severely damaged.
The church was also the site of the “Siege of First Baptist.” Following the arrival of Freedom Riders who were met with violence at the Greyhound Bus Station in downtown Montgomery, the church was besieged by 3,000 whites who threatened to burn it. In the basement, Dr. King called Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy while bricks were thrown through the windows and tear gas drifted inside. The event played a crucial part in the desegregation of interstate travel.
First Baptist “Brick-a-Day” Church still stands as a beacon of community resiliency, unity, and freedom.
ABOUT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY CENTER CONSORTIUM
The Atlanta University Center Consortium, Inc., located in the heart of metropolitan Atlanta, is the world’s largest consortia of African American private institutions of higher education. Originally formed in 1929, the Consortium is a nonprofit organization that operates on behalf of its member institutions: Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine and Spelman College. With very humble beginnings, established at various times in history, primarily to educate newly freed slaves at the end of the Civil War through the Reconstruction era, each member institution has a distinguished legacy of excellence in teaching, scholarship and service. Today, enrolling more than 10,000 students collectively each year, one common goal continues to bind the Consortium members together; to provide the finest undergraduate, graduate and professional training possible to its students. Atlanta University, founded in 1865 and Clark College founded in 1869, merged to form Clark Atlanta University in 1988, a leading private, historically black doctoral research university. Morehouse College,established in 1867, is the nation’s largest private liberal arts college for men. Formed in 1881, Spelman College is a highly selective liberal arts college for women. The Consortium’s newest member institution, Morehouse School of Medicine was formed in 1974 and is one of the nation’s most widely recognized community based medical schools. Because of the close proximity of the institutions, the boards of trustees and presidents of the colleges began to assess ways in which they could utilize their services and resources more
effectively and efficiently. Thus, the Atlanta University Center Consortium was formed to coordinate and manage the cooperative efforts of various programs and services offered by the colleges.
While no longer members of the Consortium, Morris Brown College founded in 1881, and the Interdenominational Theological Center founded in 1958, are largely significant to the Consortium’s rich legacy. The long-established history of collaboration that exists among member institutions allows students, faculty and staff to benefit from an expanded and enhanced educational environment. Some distinguishing collaborative efforts of the Consortium include cross-registration, a Dual Degree Engineering Program, center-wide Career Planning and Placement Services, and the AUC Robert W. Woodruff Library. Renovated in 1992 and reorganized in 2003, the library is a modern information and research center designed to meet the diverse needs of the AUC community. Consortium member schools have graduated a number of distinguished scholars throughout the years. Some of the most notable are Marian Wright Edelman, Esther Rolle, Pearl Cleage and Keisha Knight Pulliam (Spelman College); Martin Luther King, Jr., Julian Bond, Spike Lee, Edwin Moses, and Samuel L. Jackson (Morehouse College); James Weldon Johnson, Amanda Davis, and Emmanuel Lewis (Clark Atlanta University), and Regina Benjamin (Morehouse School of Medicine).

Land Acknowledgement
The Harlem Stage Gatehouse sits on land that was stewarded by the Lenape Tribes and violently overtaken, leading to the death and displacement of countless original inhabitants and stewards of this land. The colonial initiative of the United States of America not only invaded the land stewarded by Indigenous tribes, it also enslaved and exploited millions of Africans stolen from their land to build a free labor force under barbaric conditions that included the separation of families, brutal beatings, rape, and lynching. Harlem Stage seeks to partner with all communities, artists, and institutions of the Global Majority in the struggle for true equity and freedom. Harlem Stage encourages all people to see this acknowledgment as an urgent call to stand against the deliberate erasure of history, to refuse to let voices of truth be silenced, and to join our efforts to set untold stories free.
Our Commitment to the Planet
Harlem Stage’s values are rooted in ensuring a sustainable planet. Because we see climate change as one of the most pressing issues of our time—an issue that disproportionately impacts Black and Brown communities across the globe—we will continue to honor environmental initiatives both in our operations and programming. Our efforts in using less paper, transitioning to LEDs in our tech and operational spaces, and leaning into digital communications, we have reduced our carbon footprint by 2.5 tons in the 2024 – 2025 season alone.
