From a young age, Lester exhibited an insatiable passion for the performing arts. This fervor was ignited during elementary school when he first encountered the enchanting stage production of "The Nutcracker." It was at this moment that the seeds of his dream were planted, leading him to engage in numerous school plays and church theater productions. Additionally, he dedicated himself to refining his vocal talents as a member of the youth choir, devoting countless hours to self-directed learning and artistic development during his formative years. In his early thirties, driven by an unwavering commitment to his aspirations, Lester made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles, California. This city, known for its vibrant entertainment industry, presented both challenges and opportunities for aspiring actors like himself. Despite lacking formal training and guidance, Lester approached his career with tenacity and humility. He began at the grassroots level, participating in a myriad of student film projects on various levels both in front of and behind the camera at the prestigious University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. His versatility allowed him to immerse himself in many genres and production scales, laying a solid foundation for his burgeoning career. Lester's journey eventually led him into the realm of episodic network television and feature films, where he initially worked as a background extra. However, it was his dedication to professionalism and eagerness to learn that truly set him apart from his peers. Recognizing his potential, several prominent industry figures took notice of his work ethic and talent, offering mentor-ship and guidance along the way. This invaluable experience afforded him the opportunity to serve as a stand-in for some of Hollywood's most celebrated stars and Academy Award winners, he worked 22 episodes on ABC's Hit TV Show-"Ugly Betty" (2006-2007) and he worked alongside James Woods and Lynn Whitfield on Brian Grazers "Shark" Pilot Episode Directed By Spike Lee (2006) further enhancing his craft as he continued to hone his skills under the guidance of proven industry professionals via many hit TV Series, Feature Films and Independent Projects.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
