Actor Khleo Thomas to talk to youth about the Census, his entertainment career today
Khleo Thomas, a singer, rapper and actor known for his role as Zero in the 2003 movie “HOLES,” will be in the Tacoma area today to talk about his entertainment career and to discuss the importance of participation in the Census.
His visit is sponsored by Pacific Lutheran University and you can get details here.
PLU officials believe young people “gravitate toward actors, rappers, etc.,” so bringing Thomas to town will add oomph to the university’s project to raise awareness of Census, said associate director of admission Melanie Cunningham.
“Thomas has truly made a name for himself in the film and music business,” she added, offering up this clip of his work:
The first two events are open to the public; space is limited at the third. Here’s the schedule:
• 1 to 1:45 p.m.: Meet and greet with Thomas in the University Center 201 at PLU. Light refreshments will be served.
• 2 to 3 p.m.: Q&A with Thomas, Xavier 201 at PLU.
• 5:30 to 7 p.m.: A conversation with youth at the D.A.S.H.Center for the Arts, 1504 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way.
