Born and raised in Newark New Jersey, by his mother Michele Dumas and his grandmothers, the late Catherine Dumas and Willie Mae McGill. Therron was a shy child, but would go out of his way to make friends. Growing up in the streets of Newark N.J, you had to choose your friends wisely, and your day to day situations and activities very carefully. Therron soon realized he had a talent for two things, singing and martial arts and he started doing both at an early age, He studied the art of "Chi Fu Ka Ninjutsu" at Ninja University Of The Martial Arts, under the instruction of Grandmaster Eugene David Floyd. Singing wasn't really the "In Thing" where he was from, so he concentrated on martial arts, achieving the rank of black belt by seventeen. Therron is also a vocalist, and would sing anytime and anywhere he got a chance to, weddings, plays, talent shows, any events he could. During his high school years, he had several friends, but still was pretty much a loner. He took an interest in bodybuilding,and furthering his martial arts knowledge, which included:Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and also some Krav Maga. Toward the end of high school, Therron concentrated more on a career in the military, in which he did attempt to do. He enlisted in the United States Navy in the early nineties during "Dessert Storm", and he pre commissioned the Naval aircraft carrier, the USS George Washington CVN 73. Unfortunately, Therron sustained a knee injury during his first tour, and was unable to continue to do his assigned job, eventually being discharged from the Armed Forces.Therron began his acting career all by chance, ironically thanks to his wife Stephanie, who was submitting their daughter for a modeling shoot when she saw the casting call. Stephanie immediately asked Therron if he wanted to try out for a role in the movie, he immediately said "No", and she submitted him anyway...... He went ahead and tried out for the role, he got it and the rest is history. Hide
