Kris D. Lofton, known as Lambo, was born to his parents Angela Lofton (mother) and his Willie Lofton (father) on June 24, 1988, in Melrose Park Illinois, USA. From his date of birth, it’s easy to see that he’s 36 years old at the moment.

The Melrose-born grew up alongside his sister Kristan Lofton who isn’t in the spotlight. As such, there’s not much known about her.

After his elementary education, he proceeded to Proviso West High School.

2. Kris D. Lofton Wrote his First Song at the Age of 8

A post shared by L A M B O (@krisdlofton)

Kris’ interest in entertainment was ignited as a child. It’s not known what really spurned his interest. He revealed in an interview that no one in his family had ever acted and considers himself a child off the street.

According to the story, he heard over the radio that some coaches were putting up a baseball team and needed energetic black athletes. Being an enthusiast of the sport, he got his mum to take him to the radio station but his life took a different turn as it actually a call for a movie audition.

Kris D. Lofton revealed that though he wasn’t really passionate about arts, his mother pushed him to try since they were already there and 3 months later, he was called for his first role as Keanu Reaves in a movie titled Hardball (2001).

After his stunning performance, he was also featured in the Hardball music video which featured artists like Lil Wayne, Lil Zane, Sammie, and Bow Wow at the age of 15.

4. The Actor doubles as a Musician

Kris D. Lofton would easily pass off as a man of many hats. While he is mostly known as an actor, it can’t be denied that music came first.

Even though he is yet to release any song at the moment, he often shares videos of songs and rap on his social media space. He also writes songs, movie scripts, and articles for different production.

Kris was a star athlete before gracing the screen. In an interview, he explained that he was active in several sports while in high school such as football, basketball, and baseball.

If he wasn’t part of the entertainment industry, then sports would have likely been his next ride.

6. He Turned Down a Baseball Scholarship Offer to Focus on His Entertainment Interest

For decades, many entertainers have chosen their passion over education; some have left their professional careers to settle for interest. Kris D. Lofton obviously falls in the first class.

After graduating from high school, the star athlete was offered a baseball scholarship to Grambling State University. However, he turned it down to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

7. The Chicago Native Juggled Several Interest After High School

After graduating from high school, Kris D. Lofton became so busy with different arts. On one hand, was acting and on the other was music. It was also at this time that he made an appearance on MTV’S My Super Sweet Sixteen and also appeared in a number of commercials.

Moving forward, Kris earned other movie roles in movies such as The Promotion (2008), and Meet the Browns (2008). Some of his other appearances include; Power Book IV: Force, The Book, Imani, NBCS Chicago PD, Chicago Fire, and VH1 Single Ladies & he also had a reoccurring on “Empire” on FOX.

8. Is Kris D. Lofton in a Relationship?

Yes, Kris is in a relationship albeit he hasn’t disclosed the identity of his girlfriend. In many quarters his relationship status is recorded as single following his penchant for privacy. Nonetheless, Weafrique gathered that he is not single through an exclusive interview in March 2022.

The actor was asked how he creates space for himself to get into character and in his response he said;

My girlfriend might not be too happy, but it was a lot of alone time. I sit in solitude a lot and I like it. Unless there’s something specific on TV that I want to watch or feel I need to watch, it’s never on. I’m a silence, possibly with music, kind of guy. I was left alone in my room, door closed. It was a lot of that for me.

9. His Biggest Inspiration is LaRoyce Hawkins

In an interview with Pop Culturalist, Kris revealed that his biggest inspiration is his friend LaRoyce Hawkin whom he has looked up to for so many years. He also related that LaRoyce isn’t just one of his best friends but a brother who gives him great advice and looks out for him.

Kris also added that everything seems attainable to him having watched his friend succeed through many tough years.

10. Kris D. Lofton is Estimated at $2 Million

Apparently, the Chicago native makes money from being an entertainer. He has appeared in a number of movies and TV series since 2001 when he made his debut. While the exact figures he makes have not been disclosed, Weafrique estimates him at $2 million which remains a sneak peep into his life and not in any way the true value of his wealth.
