Vincent Ward

​

Vincent M. Ward is an American actor who portrayed Oscar in Season 3 of AMC's The Walking Dead.

Vincent Ward was born on January 27, 1971 in Dayton, Ohio. Growing up, he found himself as being a triple threat as an athlete, participating in basketball, football, and baseball. While entering high school, Vincent decided to choose one sport. That one sport would be basketball, which he still plays to this very day. Vincent found himself being the first and so far, the only player to start on the varsity basketball team all four years of high school. Vincent was All-City First Team, All City GMVC First Team and was mentioned to be one of the best players in Ohio.

Soon thereafter, Vincent found his second love, dancing. He paired up with his childhood friend Broderick Dumas, whom they called “Night”, and the two of them went on to enter and win numerous dance contests. They then formed their dynamic duo “Night and Day”, a.k.a. the twin towers (since “Night” stood 6’5” and Vincent stood 6’4”). They were approached by numerous acts out of Dayton and finally decided to sign with Dr. Ease and the Ease Town Posse, which toured with such groups as Public Enemy MC Light, X-Clan, MC Hammer, Heavy D and The Boys and others. After the groups’ breakup, they decided to sign with the “Slam Syndicate” which led them to Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
