Maurice P. Kerry shares his transformative journey from Marine Corps combat veteran to accomplished actor, highlighting how military resilience prepared him for Hollywood's challenges and rejection.

• Combat veteran who served in Iraq in 2004 as a welder, building armor and turrets for military vehicles
• Experienced homelessness after military service before rebuilding his life and career
• Lives by clear priorities: being a man, a father, a Marine, and then an actor
• Values authenticity and refuses to compromise principles for industry success
• Single father for 15 years, using parenthood as his anchor in a fast-paced industry
• Landed first acting role on MacGyver where his military experience with weapons proved valuable
• Now works on CBS's "Beyond the Gates" and will appear in Stranger Things Season 5
• Writing, producing and starring in upcoming action thriller "Labor Day"
• Offers mentorship to veterans looking to enter the entertainment industry
• Applies combat perspective to life challenges: "In Iraq I was shot at and bombed and my enemy couldn't kill me, so what do you think your opinion can do to a man like me?"
