TEAGUE IS A FIRM
BELIEVER IN ELEVATING
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
IN FILM AND EPISODIC
STORIES, PARTICULARLY
FOR FEMALE AND
UNDERREPRESENTED
PEOPLE'S VOICE
A big opportunity came his way as a
featured "Carney" in American Horror
Story - Freak Show. With multiple days
needed on set for nearly six months, it was
a "real" job. Opportunities to work on
more episodic sets in New Orleans such as
NCIS: New Orleans, Zoo, Quarry, Queen
Sugar, Roots (remake in Baton Rouge) and
Your Honor, as well as major features such
as The Big Short, The Magnificent Seven,
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back and Get Out.
He earned SAG eligibility by doing
voiceover on the Interactive Video Game,
Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2017.
When COVID came along in 2020 before
there were vaccines, Teague shifted his
focus from acting back to writing. He was
hired to rewrite a feature screenplay about
a racial injustice event in 1960s Mississippi
that is presently being shopped by the
producer as well as finish some projects
that had lain fallow while he was focused
on auditioning and acting. Possessing
rudimentary graphics skills, he also
created lookbook pitch decks for them as
well. Teague is a firm believer in elevating
diversity and inclusion in film and
episodic stories, particularly for female
and underrepresented people's voices
