Renzo Lewis was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, . His childhood dream was to play professional baseball and in no time Renzo was playing in the local Little League. He discovered he had a natural gift for playing baseball, and in truth he was a natural athlete. By the age of twelve, he was the top batter in Milwaukees Little League. His team never lost a game. Renzo pitched and played all the outfield positions. Aware of his athletic prowess, Renzo began to take boxing lessons. He loved being in the ring, "duking it out" with someone twice his size. He was fast and he was strong. In 1992, He was invited to the Eastern Olympic Try-outs for boxing, and was eliminated in the final round. While spending time in Chicago several of his fans and friends asked him if he would become their personal trainer. Helping people had always appealed to Renzo, and as he gained more clients he became well-known in fitness circles in Chicago, and was represented as a fitness model by Aria Models in Chicago and Ford in New York. For the next five years, Renzo made a good living as a personal trainer and fitness model. But he felt there was something missing in his life. He joined an acting class with a friend on a whim, and in no time he was "hooked". Acting came easy to Renzo and was invited to join the Actors Group of Chicago. Renzo found his true calling: Acting. After packing up his daughter and making the move to Hollywood he quickly landed a role in Ocean's 13, found an agent 2 weeks after arriving here in L.A. and has been truly blessed since. Also Renzo is writing and producing as well. He has dedicated his life to acting for the benefit of helping his family have the opportunities they so very much deserve. His daughter Magdalena Ashli is his motivational force.
