The growing brilliance of Tsalta Baptiste has not gone unseen by those seeking talent in the entertainment industry. The rising actor has had several casting directors, producers, and agents attempting to contact him as a result of his recent on-screen wins and triumphs.

But what makes Tsalta Baptiste so appealing in the eyes of those seeking talent?

Tsalta has had experience working alongside high-profile celebrities, positioning him at the forefront of becoming a household name. In the Showtime docuseries “Years of Living Dangerously,” season 1, episode 7, Jessica Alba narrates Tsalta’s “Green Program” at Texas Southern University.

The actor is also renowned for coaching Denzel Washington and starring in a 2022 Lexus commercial that played during the Pro Bowl and NBA All-Star game.

Tsalta is currently fulfilling two of his many ambitions with great determination. He stands as the Executive Director of the first Black Horror Film Festival, taking place in Los Angeles on October 28–29, 2022.

He is currently also co-starring in ‘The Gentle Giant’, now airing on Hulu. The film premiered at The Cannes Festival in July 2022.

Tsalta coached actors for the film “The Great Debaters” while working with Denzel Washington. He was a member of Texas Southern University’s debate team at the turning point in his acting career.

His director and producer skills are unrivaled in the industry. While Tsalta was residing in China, he also produced and directed the Tupac Shakur semi-biopic, in which he also starred in.

Another one of his successes throughout his career was being cast as a Border Tribe Warrior in Avengers End Game (likeness was seen on screen). He has also appeared as a guest star and co-star actor on Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, Fox, and Disney/Marvel.

The entertainment industry is, without doubt, an industry that is challenging to navigate. Sacrifices must be made to get the attention you want, and you must put yourself out there, which is a nerve-wracking process for most.

Those striving for stardom can learn from Tsalta. He seeks to inspire young children and encourage them to dream about rising to fame, in the same way he has.

A piece of his wisdom he shares is “Ethos, pathos, logos”. He says that this was defined by Aristotle and taught to him by his college speech and debate team Professor Dr. Thomas F. Freeman.

Tsalta says, “Ethos is credibility, Pathos is passion, and Logos is logic. You have to provide all three when you speak. Whether you are writing a comment on social media, acting, or just talking to yourself in your head — practicing and sharpening these three when speaking has immensely helped me in my life and career.”

Tsalta Baptiste is an actor to look out for and someone that everyone should know. He has proven he has the talent to go from win to win, and as a family man, he does so for all the right reasons that go far beyond wealth and fame alone.
