Daily BirthdaysCharles Ingram
Charles Ingram is the real McCoy -- a former Force Recon Marine who served for more than four years in the military and is versed in a wide array of special combat and tactical training. Tears of the Sun marks his dramatic acting debut.
Ingram grew up in Oakland, California. Following his military service, he relocated to Los Angeles and enrolled in UCLA. While at school, a friend entered his name in a modeling contest, which led to appearances on the syndicated Star Search. Ingram walked away with the show's top prize in the male modeling category, which brought him a professional contract with the prestigious Ford Agency.
After hosting a scuba diving program on the Discovery Channel, he met another former Force Recon Marine, Phil Neilson (one of Hollywood's premiere stunt coordinators), who recruited Ingram to work as a stuntman in Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down. He followed it with stunt work in the upcoming sequels The Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions.
