Willie Macc (born Willie McMiller, August 4, 1984) has quickly come a
long way as a member of young black hollywood since first becoming
known to a national television audience as the funny man on BET's
extremely popular College Hill Virgin Islands in the Spring of 2007. He
has become one of the few Reality TV stars to make the transition from
Reality TV to that of a working actor in Hollywood.
The son of Elder Willie McMiller and Minerva McMiller, Willie Macc was
born in Seascy, Arkansas and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. He is a
2002 graduate of Hazelwood Central High School, and a 2008 Marketing
graduate of American InterContinental University. His father, Elder
Willie McMiller, is pastor of Brotherly Love Christian Assembly in
Jennings. His mother, Minerva McMiller, is an elementary school teacher
in the Ferguson-Florissant district. Both still live in suburban St.
Louis with Willie Macc's four brothers - Gabriel (20), John (18),
Jarvis (16) and James (8).
In his season of College Hill (Season 4), four students from Los
Angeles, and four students from the Virgin Islands lived together while
they were taking classes at the University of the Virgin Islands.
Filled with the usual fun times, arguments and chaos that a house full
of 8 students normal bring, the living situation was pretty much
business as usual for him, since he had grown up in a relatively large
household. The success of his season of College Hill has allowed him to
develop a huge following and name recognition among Urban 14 - 34.
He has been quite busy since his "graduation" from College Hill. Once
he relocated back to Los Angeles from the Virgin Islands, he continued
his small screen run by appearing on multiple episodes of CSI, as well
as Journeyman, 106th and Park and Take the Cake. He has also appeared
in several national and regional commercials including Subway, Honda,
Taco Bell, Pump Water in New Zealand and most recently, Olive Garden.
Willie Macc's big screen break came with his appearance in the 2008
comedy spoof "Meet the Spartans" where he played a "Yo Mama" joke
cracking opponent of the Spartan army. In his second film, "House
Arrest", Willie Macc co-stars as the Chris Tucker like side-kick in the
"Friday" like direct to home entertainment comedy. Cited as a "modern
day Eddie Murphy", Willie Macc continues his destiny to stardom with
two additional roles, one being in the action / comedy, "Chicago
Pulaski Jones" (written by and starring Kel Mitchel of the "Kenan &
Kel" show, and includes a directorial debut by Cedric the Entertainer),
and the other being "The Greatest Song" (a wonderful romantic comedy
starring Lamman Rucker of Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married" and
"Meet the Browns", and national comedian and TV Host, Joe Clair). He
can also soon be seen on the small screen in a recurring role in the
upcoming television show, "Friends and Lovers: Ski Trip 2".
Both an actor and comedian, Willie Macc made his first professional
stand-up comedy debut at the famous BB Kings at Universal Walk in Los
Angeles on July 31, 2007. He continues to hone his comic skills by
performing stand-up comedy routines in and around Los Angeles for both
teen and adult audiences. A lover of sketch comedy in particular, he
has developed a sketch comedy TV pilot with Barry Floyd (Tee Tee from
BETs The Game) and Jonathan Kite (Oleg from Two Broke Girls)
Willie Macc cites Bernie Mac, Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy as his
role models. He spells his name with two c's, so it would not be too
confusing with Bernie Mac. But like Bernie Mac, Willie Macc aspires to
one day have his own TV show.
