Kieren Freeman, also credited as K.E. Freeman, is a Dallas-based actor, filmmaker, and visual artist whose work centers on nuanced, introspective young protagonists navigating high school and early adult experiences. Beginning with competitive theater—earning Best Leading Performance in the UIL District Competition for his lead role in The Dancers—Freeman honed his craft early and later wrote, directed, and starred in the shorts Writer’s Block (2019) and Procrastination: The Thief of Time (2020) under his production company, Freemania Entertainment. Both films won at the Mesquite ISD Film Festival, with Writer’s Block screening at AMC Theatres. Freeman’s on-camera experience spans projects for Marvel, FOX, and ESPN, as well as upcoming Paramount+ productions including Lioness Season 3 and the Taylor Sheridan-linked Yellowstone spin-off (Rio Paloma) in undisclosed principal roles. Fluent in Spanish and American Sign Language, he brings technical versatility, quiet intensity, and a natural warmth to his work. Beyond acting, Freeman is a skateboarder, urban photographer, cartoonist, and illustrator, developing two apparel projects—one focused on mental health and spirituality, the other on philosophy and urban documentation—and writing original screenplays and novels exploring comedy, psychological drama, and contemporary narratives. He attended Morehouse College for his freshman year, studying Life Drawing, Spanish, Politics & Protest, and pre-cinema courses at the historic liberal arts HBCU. His studies included historical and cultural studies of Latin regions and influential Black figures, further shaping his perspective on identity, storytelling, and contemporary narratives that continues to influence and inform his multidisciplinary creative work. Known among collaborators for his dry humor, social awkwardness, and subtle charm, Freeman translates lived experience, philosophical insight, and pattern recognition into performances that feel authentic, human, and layered. An active participant in indie film and TV premieres, he maintains a presence in the broader industry community. His work draws inspiration from Dope, Basquiat, Waves, and the Spider-Verse films, situating him within a post-Moonlight cinematic landscape of modern, unorthodox Black protagonists while embracing humor, approachability, and the relational awkwardness that makes his characters feel alive—perfectly resonating with roles spanning the teen-to-young-adult spectrum.
