Character Actor, Director and Production Design Artist, Stan Baker is a Native Texan hailing from the quaint small town of Chico Texas. Stan grew up within a large multi-racial family. Being the fifth child of Elston and Edith Baker he swiftly learned the significance of his natural quick witted ripostes as well as the deployment of his inherited "Southern Charm" allowing him to capture the attention of his family and yet escape the wrath of his mischievous antics. From the age of four Stan knew he yearned to be the center of attention. His resourceful and supportive parents promptly channeled his 'energy' throughout his formative years with Dance classes, Acting classes and Private Voice Lessons from influential Professionals from across the United States. This tutelage helped him in endeavors through High School, College, Stage productions, touring theatre roles(based out of NYC), Commercials and Independent Film work.
After a long "intermission" from the Artistic World to pursue his Career in the Psychology/Social Work & Behavioral Health (HIV and SACD) Fields, Stan has once again begun to perform in Film and Stage.
Some Featured Stage Roles include: Sidney Lipton-"God's Favorite", Henry II-"Lion in Winter", Doctor Reynolds-"To Kill A Mockingbird", Hannibal-"Curious Savage" Cowboy Frank-"The Dirty Story", Curley-"Of Mice and Men".
His Musical Theatre background consist of: Hysterium-"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum", Daddy Warbucks-"Annie", Monsieur D'Arque-"Beauty and The Best", Azilee Swindle-"Radio Gals", The Voice of Book-"How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying".
His imaginative visuals and nurturing manner has allowed him to be successful with directing numerous stage productions such as "Always Patsy Cline", "Nunsense", "The Odd Couple" and "Suburb".
Stan also enjoys creating behind the camera/scenes as well. He has worked as Co-Director as well as Assistant Director with several Award Winning Directors in various Independent Films, and has collaborated with fellow artist in the fields of Art Department, Set Décor, and Production Design. Stan also works as a Personal (One on One) Acting Coaching.
