Born and raised in San Diego, CA, Clifton Dunn started his pursuit of the arts in high school when he heard his uncle's laughter from the audience and was instantly hooked. He attended Boston University where he received his BFA in Acting, along with a stint with the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). Straight out of college, Clifton booked productions Macbeth and Richard II. His focus shifted to film and television as he began booking more on-screen work. Some of his recent credits include Ways and Means (CBS), Almost Family (FOX), Difficult People (Hulu), The Detour (TBS), as well as the films Terrifier on Netflix and The Paper Store on Amazon. When Clifton isn't busy on set, he spends his time surfing (even through the winter) in NYC, writing screenplays, and hanging with his cat Jack.
