DJ Qualls grew up in Manchester, a small city nestled in Middle Tennessee. As one of five siblings, he forged his own path early on, eventually attending the University of London for his studies. Upon returning to Tennessee, Qualls discovered his passion for acting and took to the local theater scene with gusto.
Fate intervened when photographers David LaChapelle and Steve Klein stumbled upon Qualls' talent, leading him into the world of modeling. DJ graced runways for Prada and starred in various advertising campaigns, but it was his feature film debut in Road Trip (2000) that truly showcased his on-screen charisma.
In the same year as his cinematic breakthrough, Qualls also appeared in the darkly comedic thriller Cherry Falls. The movie, which explored the killings of virgins in a small town high school, featured an ensemble cast that included Jay Mohr, Brittany Murphy, and Gabriel Mann.
Before his big-screen success, Qualls had already made a name for himself on television in projects like the miniseries Mama Flora's Family (1998), based on Alex Haley's book, and "Against The Wall." Despite these professional accomplishments, it is DJ's personal resilience that truly sets him apart. He is a proud cancer survivor and uses his platform to advocate for cancer research and awareness.
