Born May 24, 1974 in New York City, Dash grew up in Westbeth, a trendy artists’ housing community in Manhattan’s West Village.  He joined the CityKids Repertory, a group begun in 1985 by the CityKids Foundation to bring together young people from diverse backgrounds, so that they might share life experiences, and create original dramatic and musical works based on those experiences. 

Since his early beginnings Dash has gone on to become a Hollywood actor who has appeared in such movies as 'Romeo + Juliet', 'The Day After Tomorrow' and 'Silver Linings Playbook'. His full bio can be found here on IMDB.

Dash got in touch with JCF after a news report aired on CNN in 2009 about Jaylen and his bid to banish bullying. The report touched his heart and he wanted to help.

Jaylen looks up to Dash as a brother and as such has become a mentor and is inspiration and the role model every young boy needs.

As a key spokesperson, Dash is tireless in his effort to promote anti-bullying awareness. Appearances in schools and special events have seen this industry powerhouse stand up and speak not only from his own experiences but helps inform people of all ages what can be done to tackle the issue of bullying.
