DreDay Washington: From Akron’s Grit to Hollywood’s Spotlight

Rising from the heart of Akron, Ohio, DreDay Washington is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about new faces in independent film. An actor, CEO, and creative force, DreDay is turning passion and persistence into a powerful career—proving that hard work and self-belief can turn dreams into reality.

A Star in the Making

DreDay made his acting debut in the independent film “Boarding House,” produced by HWIC Film. Shot in February and released on Tubi on July 5th, the film garnered strong reviews and instantly marked DreDay as a breakout talent to watch. His commanding presence and natural charisma opened doors for what would become a string of impressive projects.

Soon after, he was cast in “Tea Street,” directed by Dru Scott and filmed in Youngstown, Ohio. Sharing the screen with Tubi stars Jamal Woolard and Chyna, DreDay once again showcased his versatility. The film is set for release in Winter 2024, and anticipation is already building among indie film fans.

From Disney to Tubi Stardom

In June 2024, DreDay reached another career milestone when he landed his first paid role with Disney, serving as the stand-in for NFL legend Marshawn Lynch in the upcoming project “Stickshift,” filmed in Sandusky, Ohio. Around the same time, he also made an appearance as an extra in the new Tubi film series “One Faith.”

But his true breakout moment came later that year with “She Never Believed,” written by Andrew Lloyd and directed by Logan Kynston. Premiering on November 16th, 2024, in Cleveland, and officially released on Tubi on September 26th, 2025, the film quickly became a streaming phenomenon—hitting #1 in four categories: Comedy, Black Independent Cinema, Recommended, and Black Storytelling.

Riding the wave of success, DreDay appeared in the Tubi blockbuster “Black Men Don’t Cheat: Part 2,” another hit that reached #1 in Most Popular. His on-screen magnetism and grounded performances have earned him growing respect from both audiences and directors across the industry.

Now, DreDay is set to star in his second leading role with the upcoming film “Is Temptation a Real Thing?”, another highly anticipated project headed for Tubi. With each new role, he continues to evolve—not just as an actor, but as a storyteller with purpose and authenticity.
