X A Film By Christopher C. Odom The 23rd Psalm Contact MARKHUM STANSBURY JR. Detective John Smith A former Disney/ABC Screenwriting Fellow, Markhum Stansbury, Jr. hails from Memphis, TN. He discovered he was an actor after enrolling in an acting class while searching for an easy "A" and relief from a double major in government and economics at Georgetown University. Markhum’s professor felt that he had talent worth developing but he had his sights set on law school. After taking another acting course and receiving similar encouragement, Markhum did his first play, “Adrienne Kennedy's Funny House of a Negro”, in which he played the African dignitary Patrice Lumumba. After doing the play he went on to win The Kreeger Award, Georgetown's Oscar. Needless to say, Markhum changed majors (English/Fine Arts), put law school on hold and decided that it would be better to pretend to be a lawyer than to actually be one.
