Loyd Estes Tarver was born in Lexington KY. He moved around a lot and that may be what caused him to become a daydreamer and eventually an actor and storyteller. He was a Division I college tennis player on scholarship and then found acting his senior year of college. He got the bug and never looked back. He works a lot in Episodic television and is known for his role on Under The Dome as Tom Tilden as well as other appearances in shows like "The Detour", and many others. He also released his first feature in 2016, CHANGEOVER, that is screening in festivals all over the world. Estes founded Moonlight Stage Company also in Raleigh NC which is a platform and a theatre company that educates actors and also creates work in this tough business. He is a graduate of the Professional Actor Training Program at UNC Chapel Hill and also works all over.
