Remember the kid who was rockin’ the jheri-curl in “The Wood” movie? In the film, his name was “Slim.” It was hilarious watching “Slim” and his boy, “Roland” (Trent Cameron), hype up the newcomer at their school, “Mike” (Sean Nelson), to convince him to grab the butt of  their schoolmate, “Alicia” (Malinda Williams), on the school yard during lunch.

Check Him Out Now…

Fast forward to today and 45-year-old actor, Duane Finley, a.k.a. “Slim”, has come a long way from his jheri-curled character days.

He’s expanded his business game and wears many hats nowadays. And yep, he’s also still acting every chance he gets. But scroll down to peep his main job…

Some of his more recent roles were in various television series and films, including an upcoming film, titled “Jeremy,” which is based on a true story…

He’s also starred in All Black Network’s, “Covenent” series…

Duane also co-starred in an independent television series, titled “Beauty and the Baller,” which aired on BET; as well as in the film, “The Breaking Point,” which was directed by his former “The Wood” co-star, Sean Nelson…talk about coming full circle. It was good to see those two reconnect for that project.

Additionally, “The Wood” veteran linked up with reality star/singer, Ray J. Norwood, for an independent film titled, “The Pump”.

In addition to his various acting gigs, in recent years Duane became a stand-up comedian. Truth be told, he’s actually a naturally funny brotha, so the comedy realm seemed like a natural progression for him.

His Main Businesses Now…

These days, Duane enjoys being a business owner of multiple businesses. He currently owns two My Mailbox LA mailbox rental/shipping locations.

That’s not all though…Duane also owns and operates a live scans/fingerprinting/notary business, and a tax preparation business, FinsLivesScans.com. Fins Live Scans is located in Inglewood, CA as well, and his service is also mobile. Get this…if you’re in California and need any digital live scan fingerprinting for your business needs, or if you need business documents officially notarized by a licensed notary public, give Duane Finley a call and there’s a high possibility the former “The Wood” star will pull up right to your door to take care of business. He confirmed on Instagram that he’s on the job, literally. How cool is that, right?

Duane recently took to social media to thank his supporters for the love they’ve been showing his companies…

He’s A Family Man

And of course we cannot talk about what Duane Finley is up to these days, without mentioning his most fulfilling accomplishment yet…his role as a father. The last we heard, Duane and his wife have been married for many years, but it’s unclear if they are still together…he’s removed all signs of his family-life from his social media pages, which is a very different move for him. Typically, he was one to share photos –with his fans on social media– of himself spending family-time with the wife and kids. Hopefully everything is still all good with them and that he’s simply decided to keep his family-life private. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The best part of it all, is that the the brotha looks like he is enjoying life, and that’s what it’s all about.
