Tyson Turrou

Tyson Turrou is an Actor/Producer who focuses on bridging cultural divides with his work in film, television and on the stage. As an actor he is known for bringing an edgy, grounded likability to his characters. He has appeared in over 25 TV shows and films, working with multiple Emmy award winning directors, producers and actors. As a producer he works across genres to create highly entertaining stories that give audiences an appreciation of diversity and cultures beyond their own. He released his first film, "Loners," in 2019 and has several others in development. Tyson's conviction that an engrossing story is one of the most subversive ways to bring people of different backgrounds together guides his artistry. In his acting and producing, he combines his love of filmmaking with his belief that walking a mile in another's shoes is the easiest path to erasing our societal divides. Born in the small rural town of Grand Junction, Colorado, Tyson grew up exploring the outdoors and learning a blue collar work ethic working in his grandfather's construction business. Tyson was 12 when his sister got a job on "Thelma and Louise" and he visited his first set. Amidst the wet, smoke filled streets, and Ridley Scott's call of, "Action!" he fell in love with film. Tyson left his small town roots to attend USC, studying acting and film with some of the most influential storytellers today. Excited to start his career, he graduated a year early and booked his first acting job a few months later. Although he loved acting, he knew there was more to his storytelling, so in 2015 Tyson returned to his film school roots and produced his first feature film, "Loners." He continues to develop several other films with a wide variety of diverse filmmakers. Tyson lives with his wife, a math educator for teachers of young children, who for some reason is perfectly supportive of her husband's artistic heart. Together they have a daughter who is the smartest, cutest, most entertaining kid in the entire world.
