RENNY ROKER

Try to name one thing Renny Roker hasn’t done and you’ll be hard pressed to find one. With an entertainment resume that spans over four decades, Renauld Roker has simply done it all. In the box office, Renny has starred in countless motion pictures including “Kidnapped In Paradise (1999), Honky Tonk Freeway (1981) and The Versace Murder (1998). In 1974, he starred and produced “Johnny Tough,” the first African American production to reach #1 in Daily Variety earning $49 million in the box office which equals to $300 million today. On television, Renny was a regular on hit shows such as Hill Street Blues, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. and Sanford And Son while being utilized as an actor and voice over in countless commercials for companies such as Bounty Paper Towel, Chevrolet, McDonald’s, Hertz Rent A Car, and American Express (with Tiger Woods). Renny has also starred in over 100 stage productions from New York to Los Angeles including the lead for One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.

Off screen he has delivered plenty. He owned and produced hit shows like “Jag BMX World Championship Series” for ESPN (broadcast in more than 80 countries), “Coup De Hoop,” a playground basketball series for ABC that starred Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Dee Brown and Dominic Wilkins. He also produced NBC’s “America’s Paradise Triathlon” shot in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In fact, Coca Cola has over the years served as a major or title sponsor for his triathlons, “Coup De Hoop,” “Jag BMX,” and other events. At one point, Walter Dunn of Coca Cola appointed Renny as their international sports Representative 6 years in a row.

And even with such accomplishments in front and behind the scenes, it’s his current work with today’s youth that simply astonishes the general public. Teens On The Green Golf And Education Academy is

the first African American International golf program that insures the financial success of teen golfers by providing a detailed road map for earning college scholarships. PBS and Teens On The Green International Series “From Tee To Degree” broadcasts in 230 US markets and in 55 countries.

In his spare time, Renny enjoys golf, swimming and horseback riding and spending time with his five children.
