The Sign Field

Donnell Turner was born ‪on January 8th‬ in Tacoma, WA. Before his 10th birthday, his family relocated from Chicago to Northern California.

His love for acting was born as a child when he participated in church and junior high school plays. In high school, his hunger for performance was fed by playing basketball, competing in Martial Arts tournaments, and playing trumpet in the band. 

Since moving to Los Angeles in 2001, Turner has appeared in several dozen television shows, films, and commercials. He has 100+ modeling and print ads worldwide including in Hong Kong, Thailand, France, Italy, Amsterdam, and Spain.

Growing up a General Hospital fan, in 2014, Turner auditioned for a contract role as a doctor on the show. However, ABC and GH had other plans. One month later Turner was offered a 4-year contract to bring life to an original character created specifically for him. Since November 30, 2015, he has been living out a childhood dream and gracing the screens as the handsome, charismatic, no-nonsense "Curtis Ashford."

Currently, Turner is in his final year as a student at The Los Angeles Film School, pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Digital Filmmaking and maintaining a 3.96 GPA. He hopes that his going to college later in life will motivate and show others that it is never too late to turn a dream into a reality. In August 2022, Donnell was accepted into The Los Angeles Film School’s Honor Society of Entertainment and Arts.

December 3rd 2021, Turner played the charming, tech mogul, "Christopher North" and a sophisticated art thief in the romantic comedy, "Most Wanted Santa," on the Tubi Network.
