It has been reported that Charles Lawlor claims he found acting in Miami Florida because he was "too lazy to work and too nervous to steal". After acting in several college plays Charles worked in regional theater in a wide range of roles and received high marks. A film producer saw Charles and cast him as a Seminole in the independent "Sammy Somebody" to begin his film career. Over the next couple decades Charles split his time between sailing S. Fla. and the Caribbean and occasionally acting in a wide variety of character roles in film and T.V. His latest turn as 'Donald Melvald' in "Stranger Things" earned him and the entire cast the SAG best ensemble cast award. These days, Dog training and rescue take up much of his time.
