Montgomery, Alabama - Alabama actor and emerging filmmaker Deonta Lamar is gaining statewide attention as he elevates his acting career through new film roles, regional drama projects, and character-driven performances rooted in Southern storytelling. Known online as @d33blk, Lamar continues to build momentum in Alabama’s growing entertainment scene while inspiring others through his personal journey and community involvement.
Lamar recently secured a supporting role as a doctor/surgeon in a new Amazon-distributed production, a major professional milestone that expands his presence beyond regional indie work and into larger-scale film territory.
FEATURED ROLE IN TRUE-CRIME DRAMA “5 LIL PENGUINS”
Lamar appears as a key cast member in 5 Lil Penguins, a gritty true-crime drama series loosely inspired by real events in Birmingham, Alabama. The story follows Jayvion Monroe, a king-pin and neighborhood hero freshly released from jail, whose attempt to rebuild and expand his drug empire sends shockwaves through the city.
As Monroe’s influence grows, Birmingham becomes a powder keg of violence, betrayal, and corruption — with families, friendships, and entire communities feeling the impact of his choices. Lamar’s role contributes to the emotional depth of the ensemble as the series explores how one man’s decisions can alter the lives of everyone around him.
BREAKOUT ROLE AS “MAC” IN RAY LOVES KAY (FROM JUNE TO MAY)
Lamar also stars as Mac, one of the four principal characters in the Alabama-based series Ray Loves Kay (From June to May). Directed and produced by Randall McCary, the cast includes Denisa Love (Kay), Sean Golson (Ray), Deonta Lamar (Mac), and Brooke Amber Barlow (Cree). The project blends heartfelt storytelling with grounded Southern realism as it follows a decade-long journey of love, growth, and self-discovery.
ORIGINAL CREATIVE WORK & ALABAMA STORYTELLING
Lamar continues developing original work including Masked Halo, a sci-fi/action concept merging futuristic worldbuilding with Alabama-rooted themes, along with multiple independent short films and digital content.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
“I’m not perfect, and I’ve made mistakes, but every day I pray for guidance to become a better man than I was yesterday. God continues to show me grace, and I want my journey to remind others that change is possible if you’re willing to grow, learn, and rise above who you used to be.” — Deonta Lamar
