Jaz Tucker as Bobo

About Jaz

Jaz Tucker's (Bobo) first acting role was at the age of 13.  He portrayed the ill-fated Emmett Till in Unity Theatre Ensemble's, "The State of Mississippi vs. Emmett Till".  Knowing this was his calling, his mother, Thomasina Clarke, an accomplished actor and drama instructor, made him audition for the part.  That was when Jaz realized he'd want to do this for the rest of his life. In the fall of 2005, Jaz moved to Washington, D.C. for his entire high school career where he was fortunate enough to host a few school assemblies, aid his school in winning "Best Rookie" in its first Robotics Regional Competition, and have two of his poems published in "Bridges", a collection featuring poetry from hearing and deaf students.  Presently, Jaz is finalizing, "Forever in a Day", a short film he co-wrote, produced, and starred in.  He is also in the early stages of creating a variety web show that is not yet titled.
