DJ Qualls in Paramount Classics' Hustle & Flow - 2005
Birth Date: June 10, 1978
Birth Place: Nashville, Tennessee, USA
D.J. Qualls was last seen in the production “The Core” for Paramount Pictures. Qualls was also seen in Revolution Studios' “The New Guy” (which was written specifically for him). Produced by Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray, the film was directed by “There's Something About Mary” co-writer Ed Decter. Past works include Sony Screen Gems' “Lone Star State of Mind” and the Lions Gate film “Chasing Holden.”
Known for his role as the geeky Kyle in DreamWorks smash hit “Road Trip,” D.J. received critical acclaim for his portrayal as a studious member of the road trip gang. He also appeared in Disney's “Big Trouble.” In addition, Qualls was seen in, and co-produced the Lions Gate film “Comic Book Villains.” A dark comedy about the comic book industry and rival comic book stores, he starred opposite Donal Logue, Michael Rapaport, Danny Masterson and Cary Elwes. This film can currently be seen on DVD and VHS.
D.J. grew up in a small town in middle Tennessee and is one of five children. After studying at the University of London, he returned to Tennessee and began a series of odd jobs. D.J. also did local theatre and was discovered by photographers David Chappelle and Steven Kline, which began a lucrative career in modeling for Prada as well as many other advertising/editorial campaigns. He splits his time between Los Angeles and Tennessee and is proud to be a cancer survivor and an advocate for cancer awareness and research.
