De’Aundre Bonds’ Big Comeback

I’m sure you don’t recognize the name but I know you know his face. De’Aundre played Alicia’s brother, “Stacey” in The Wood and he was also in Tales From the Hood. Without many of us knowing, De’Aundre went to prison for 10 years for manslaughter in the stabbing death of his aunt’s boyfriend. (He says he was defending himself.)  But luckily for him, that was only a minor setback.  In an interview with Black Enterprise, De’Aundre explained that he couldn’t let his prison time get the best of him and jumped right back into trying to get auditions. It paid off: he’ll be co-starring alongside Anthony Mackie, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in Gangster Squad. Without giving away the entire interview, De’Aundre explained that prison may have been what he needed to find himself and strengthen his spiritual connection.  Hopefully he’ll be able to continue to flourish both personally and professionally.
