Tyrone Magnus (born June 14, 1977) is an American actor, voice actor, model and YouTuber.[1]
Career
Tyrone Magnus (Whose real name is Tyrone Crawley), started off as a salesman out of school, a job which he did for eight years before starting a YouTube channel with a view that this could boost him to an acting career. His YouTube channel originally started out as a professional wrestling talk show but then evolved into a reaction-based channel after fans sent him Man of Steel trailers to review, which then evolved into reacting to trailers and later videos of all kinds.
In November 2014, his reaction to the Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens teaser gained a lot of attention after being shared on Reddit, with the video getting upwards of one million views. Tyrone Magnus said as to why his videos were so successful "I was one of those kids that was always told, 'You should be on TV.' I'm not afraid to be me on camera. I think that appeals to people. The fact that someone can really just let loose, be their inner child, without any obstructions or any inhibitions or whatever.".[2]
In 2015, he got his first acting role, as General Tamanegi in the series Dragon Ball Abselon.
