Life

Born in 1981 in Silver Spring , Maryland , the Fellows grew up in his home state and attended high school there, where he was active on the school's basketball team, among other things. This was the further career path that Fellows, whose greatest dream was to play in the NBA , wanted to pursue after his high school days. However, when he sustained an injury, this dream broke, which in turn prompted Fellows to look for a new job for his future. He came to New York at the age of 18 and 19 after a friend who knew an agent pointed out that he was the right look for a modeling career. This was finally the beginning of the modeling career of the young fellow, who today (as of January 2011) is employed by the Californian model agency Bleu Models and is regularly booked by various well-known brands, companies, etc. Through his modeling career, he finally found his way to acting, with his first notable film appearance in 2006 when he starred in the horror film Mustang Sally at the side of Elizabeth Daily , Lindsey Labrum , Mark Parrish etc.

In 2009 he was finally brought into the cast of the long-term soap opera Zeit der Sehnsucht and initially only used in a few episodes. This was followed by a longer engagement of fellows, who, however, was not offered a long-term contract by the creators of the series and left the cast in 2010 after a total of 24 completed episodes. This was followed in the same year by an appearance in an episode of the television series Navy CIS: LA and engagements in the two films The Gift Horse and The List , both of which are due to be released in 2011.
