Biography
Gjee Wade II is an American actor and stuntman, an active member of the United States Navy, and a former K9/SWAT team member. His work has reached international audiences, with film credits spanning releases in Sweden, Mexico, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Raised off a dirt road and forged, as he puts it, out of the "Muck," Wade II channels a raw aggression and intensity into every character he inhabits. His muscular build, striking cold eyes, and extensive tattoo work have made him a natural fit for antagonist roles throughout his career. That imposing presence is perhaps most vividly on display in his portrayal of Killer Joe Sanders in Fatal Attraction and as drug baron Charles "Heavy" Stokes in Evidence of Innocence. Yet he has also demonstrated range beyond the villain archetype, appearing alongside comedian and host Bert Kreischer on Bert the Conqueror, where Kreischer famously dubbed him "The Manliest Man in the World" following a shared ride on the Rip-Ride-Rockit roller coaster at Universal Studios in Orlando.
Wade II's face has become familiar to national television audiences through commercial campaigns for brands including Peloton, EA Sports, Amazon, the Florida Lottery, and Hershey's. His television credits span a wide range of networks and platforms, among them AMC, NBC, FOX, Netflix, Paramount+, BET, and the Travel Channel. Guided by his personal motto "If you got IT, it don't matter," he launched his acting career on determination alone, building his reputation through independent film work before landing his first major role as drug lord Neil Rene on FBI: Criminal Pursuit — specifically the episode titled "Taken by Force," which aired on May 13, 2013, on Investigation Discovery.
