Darius Autry was born in Tampa, Florida, and is the middle of three children. Darius grew up fishing in the waters of Tampa Bay, while playing multiple sports. Eventually, he discovered his passion for baseball and had high hopes on receiving a scholarship to play at the next level. After graduating high school, Darius' journey as collegiate baseball player brought him to Dubuque, Iowa, to enroll at Clarke University, originally as a finance major. However, he decided to pursue acting and spontaneously changed his major to Drama. After instantly falling in love with the art, he began his journey as a stage actor. Darius now uses his degree in Drama to assist him throughout his journey as a working artist on stage, in front of the camera, and behind it.
