Faith again would play a major role in the life of the
aspiring actor. Within three days of his arrival to Los
Angeles, Nollis was offered a position working as a
concierge in a very luxurious apartment building in
Hollywood, CA. Tenants such as Cameron Diaz, Taylor
Schilling, Lena Dunham, Huell Houser, Kathy Lee
Gifford, Allan Mindel, Jon Hamburg, James Gray...to
name just a few were celebrities of the five star
establishment. It was a dream position for the young
aspiring actor. Within a few weeks tenants began to notice
the young talent and started to give him advice on how to
get started on his dream. Kathy Lee Gifford was quoted as
saying that Nollis was "So handsome that he has to be a
model". The tenants began referring Nollis to different
acting coaches, acting classes, agents and photographers
right away. Overwhelmed with the love and attention he
was receiving he took their advice one by one.
January 7th, 2014 Nollis officially landed his first big role.
He was casted in a commercial for the Tom Bradley
International Terminal at the Los Angeles International
Airport. This was a major spring board for the young
Actor/Model. He began receiving contract offers from
many managers and talent agencies. The young talent
would only continue to book more wonderful
opportunities. Independent films, commercials, magazine
features, print work, theatre roles and even a small role in
a promotional video for the movie “Think like a Man” feat
Mary J Blige. Nollis has recently covered the California
based magazine "Karibbean Expressions" in which the
headlines read "Sky is The Limit". This is truly just the
beginning for the young Caribbean talent on the rise.
Unfortunately Rosa Dewar died May 11th 2014 (Mother’s
Day) from a long battle with cancer. This young man has a
past fit for television and an opportunity to build a future
that shall be fit for the big screen. The sky is truly the limit
for Nollis Dewar.
While attending "UNA" Nollis took a few drama courses
and was casted in one of Shakespeare most famous plays
"Hamlet" As Horatio. The drama teacher fell in love with
Nollis and told him that he should pursue a career in acting.
Nollis then made a promise that when the semester was finished he would do just that. Moving to Florence, Alabama
and attending UNA was the turning point in his life. He now
knew what direction he wanted his life to take on. Nollis
now had a plan to work and save as much money as he
could, to move back to California to pursue a career in acting. In 2012 that dream finally came through' Nollis packed
an U-Haul truck and drove three days and three nights across
country back to Los Angeles, CA.
