Charles Anthony was born the youngest of three to Dr Charles R and Muriel G. Mitchell in Columbia, Maryland (Howard County) on March 13th

1980. Sibling of Milonda and Charla Mitchell. He grew up in a neighborhood called Dorsey Search in Ellicott City, MD. 

As an African American male in his community he had to deal with a lot

of stereotypes and prejudice in his community. Having the Mitchell

name and living up to his parents and peers expectations and success

wasn't an easy task at all. Everyone's eyes were always watching

Charles. News traveled fast in Howard County and Charles didn't seem

to mind gossip around town. In fact he used it to his advantage. He was always up for breaking the silence on issues that were ignored in public schools while growing

up. He found himself speaking out for what he believed in and standing

up for himself and others who couldn't. He refused to be a follower

and let himself lead his life. Can't was not something you could tell Charles he was unable to do. He always loved a challenge. His parents always told him that their are people in the world who don't want to see you succeed. Charles experienced racism, prejudice, and false accusations growing up. He knew people didn't want to see the smart

black boy do better than their child and tried to find any way to

create a problem for Charles. Instead of Charles letting people get to

him he got out there and got to them first. Early as fifth grade Charles wanted to make a difference. He lovedwatching the news and saw a report on homeless children. He contacted the local news gathered all his money, toys, canned foods, and clothes

and made a generous donation to the channel 2 news.he was fortunate

and had the means to help those who were not. The following week,

American, award winning, television news anchorman at WJZ-TV in

Baltimore, Maryland Al Sanders and Emmy Award–winning journalist

Denise Koch contacted Charles and asked him to appear in the studio

and interviewed him on air to tell his story.

 

In 7th grade Charles wanted to do a GT (Gifted and Talented) project

that was big. He wanted it to involve the entire school, and use it as

a tool to bring segregated clicks in the school together. After lots

of letter writing, and phone calls he was contacted by some HBO's

Comic Relief Comedians (Whoppy Goldberg, Billy Crystal, Robin

Williams) and they were impressed with his efforts and dedication to

help people. Charles got them to make a huge donation for his Fashion

Show Benefit to raise money for the organization: Healthcare for The

Homeless.

 

Department stores and retail stores loaned out their fashions for his

show to be a success. Charles held after school auditions for students

eager to be models for his show. He even thought broadcasting the show

on the public school network would raise a lot of money if they

auctioned off a signed HBO Comedy Relief Billboard autograghed by

every comedian on the show. Charles proved successful and was rewarded

an award from the Mayor of Baltimore, and Governor of Maryland.Charles

found his passion in Broadcasting and Television Productions.

 

Over the following years Charles attended The University of Pittsburgh where he majored in Business/Administration while managing Abercrombie and Fitch, and continued his urge for acting. He booked a few National commercials and modeled for different Print campaigns. A few years later he moved to Philadelphia, PA where he made a name for himself. He was seen dancing with local artist in many performances in different venues and every year at the Pride Festivals. Charles enjoyed the “city of brotherly love” life, but was ready to take on the big city life of LA. He moved to West Holly wood at the age of 26 started working for Ben Sherman as an assistant visual merchandiser while seeking out any TV jobs he could get his hands on. He ended up a few shy months living in LA on MTV’s Exposed where he won the dating challenge. little did Charles know that this National Broadcast would put his name on the map with local celebrity socialites, which opened his world even more. He started hanging out with these socialites and getting VIP at every club in town and couldn’t walk down the street without someone knowing his name. Charles and some friends started a social networking website and placed video content and editorial on this site and it became the talk of the town. He gathered a fan base for locals wanting to know the hot gossip, the scoop on events, and a peek into an evening they may have missed out one night. The site NeonSocial.com started co-promoting with other big promoters in the city and throwing fabulous parties and co-sponsoring many fundraisers. With all the glamour of Hollywood Charles knew that bills still had to be paid, so he worked a full-time job as well managing a health smoothie shop. Now Charles is looking for the next big adventure that awaits him in LA LA land.
