Biography

Aaron D. Spears was born and raised in Washington DC. He was a gifted athlete, excelling in football and was even considering a career in the NFL, while studying at the Delaware State University. All that changed when he didn’t turn in a speech assignment and was forced to make it up by participating in live theater. He was bitten by the acting bug!

Spears moved to Los Angeles with $77 in his pocket and booked the first four roles he auditioned for, including the role of Officer Washington on the daytime soap opera Sunset Beach — his first job and the first taste of daytime. He has been steadily adding to his resume ever since.

Aaron has 20 years of working in Hollywood, but it was his controversial role as Mark Bradley on Being Mary Jane, that caught the attention of millions of viewers. And Spears’ double-duty on The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of Our Lives over the last few years that made him a familiar face internationally.
