SAVANNAH, GA (02/08/2012)(readMedia)-- Sean Moreno, Houston native and performing arts graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, has been cast in a recurring role in the hit BET series, "The Game," the 'dramady' which follows the lives of professional football players and their significant others as they navigate fame, family and friends. Sean plays Larry 'Hot Sauce' Warfield, a big, bad and bruising member of the show's fictional football team, the "San Diego Sabers."

"I can't begin to express how excited, honored, humbled and blessed I feel to be in such a fun show and working along so talented a cast of actors," says Sean. "I'm a young actor in a prime position to really blow up the rest of my career, and I owe a lot of that positioning, knowledge, and skill to the education, direction and love that I received from the faculty and staff of the performing arts department at SCAD."

Sean, 24, graduated Magnolia High School in Magnolia, TX in 2006. "I did a couple of plays in high school," says Sean, "as well as working at the Texas Renaissance Festival since I was a kid."

Sean says it was his experience at the TRF that gave him the bug to pursue a career in performing arts. "I pretty much grew up at the Texas Renaissance Festival," he says. "My parents had their first date there, and I've been going since I was a baby, so I suppose I was doomed from birth to be that perfect amount of "slightly off" that you have to be to be an actor. I loved the time I spent there when I was younger. I try to make a pilgrimage every year around my birthday to go back and visit for a celebratory bottle of Chaucer's Mead and a nice tall pint of Shiner Bock. It's the little things that make it all worthwhile."

Moreno was a member of SCAD's 2010 performing arts senior showcase, which travelled to Atlanta and New York City to perform for industry professionals. It was in Atlanta that a talent agency noticed and signed him.

"The Game" airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. EST on BET
