About Me

Lawrence Grotts grew up in Detroit, Michigan where he attended Macomb Community College’s Center for the Performing Arts for theater, music and cinematic arts studies. Along with his college theater appearances, Lawrence performed in several summer stock musicals and local theatrical productions. In addition to his acting, he was a featured dancer for the East and Company Dance Collective under the direction of Mr. Dennis East and the Detroit City Dance Company.

Now living in NYC, Lawrence has been fortunate enough to have been able to leave his career as a music industry executive and direct his focus back on his passion for acting working with coach, Mr. Peter Kelley. In less than a week of his decision to wholly dive into the acting profession, he hit the street running booking his very first audition and securing a principal role in a Jim Cramer’s ‘Mad Money’ CNBC/Universal commercial.

Lawrence has been cast and is currently working along side Michael Shannon in a reoccurring role as a Federal Agent in the upcoming HBO series Boardwalk Empire. He has also appeared in other TV productions including ABC’s Life on Mars, NBC’s Law & Order & Mercy, CBS’s As The World Turns, FX Network's Rescue Me and the Independent Film Chanel original series Z Rock.

On the silver screen, Lawrence appeared in the 2009 Columbia Pictures feature The Taking of Pelham 123 as a NYPD Hostage Negotiator; Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience; the Raymond De Felitta helmed City Island; and the Bette Gordon directed Handsome Harry. In 2010, Lawrence will appear in the Columbia Pictures release Salt with Angelina Jolie and the Jodie Foster directed film The Beaver with Mel Gibson.

Lawrence also stars in the independent short films; The Nothing Man (winner: Best Short Feature at the 2010 Alabama International Film Festival), The Other Side of Tomorrow, Recollection, Left In The Shadows, Cod Farthing, In The Mirror, Never Heard and a supporting role in the film Heart & Soul.
