Q: What motivates and inspires you to do your best in the industry and being creative overall?
Kenyon Glover -A: What motivates and inspires me to do my best is knowing that my work has the potential to impact someone’s life in a positive way. Creativity is more than just producing content or building a brand. It’s about connecting with people, encouraging them, and showing them what’s possible. I am inspired by growth, both my own and the growth I see in others. Every challenge pushes me to think differently, improve my craft, and find new ways to create value.
I also believe that excellence is a responsibility. If I’ve been given talents, experiences, and opportunities, then I owe it to myself and those I serve to give my very best. What keeps me going is the desire to leave a meaningful legacy, inspire the next generation, and prove that with vision, discipline, and faith, you can turn your purpose into impact. That’s what drives me to keep creating, innovating, and striving for excellence every single day.
Q: What types of roles or genres do you enjoy performing most — drama, comedy, action, thriller, or a mix of everything?
Kenyon Glover -A: I would say my favorite genre is Action and Thriller. I love projects that keep me on the edge of my seat, or psychological thrillers that really have you thinking, wondering, and guessing throughout. Those are my type of projects. And of course, I do love horror, but it’s really difficult to find a good horror film these days. They have really lost their impact for me. They are not really scary anymore.
Q: What’s something fun people may not know about you? Any hobbies, hidden talents, or things you love doing in your spare time?
Kenyon Glover -A: Wow… one thing people may not know is that I love to hookah… lol. I have my own hookah at home, and I often go to hookah lounges. I am also a cigar smoker and love hanging out at cigar bars as well. I am a pretty decent bowler and love bowling. I also have a strong interest in taking up and learning golf, so I do have plans to get some golfing lessons soon to add that to my array of talents.
Q: What are some projects that you’ve just wrapped up or that you’re currently working on?
Kenyon Glover -A: My latest film was just released on Amazon Prime Video, Tubi, and Apple TV called “Pain & Harmony.” I am currently filming a project called “But Still,” which will come out later this year or early next year. I am also getting ready to produce my 2nd Annual Impact Fashion Showcase in Dallas, TX, which was a huge success the first time. The next one will be around Summer 2027. I am also developing and producing a documentary on mental health in 2027 as well. It will be a very powerful documentary that really dives into the impact mental health has on people.
