RESOLUTION NO. __________
A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, PUBLICLY CONGRATULATING AND APPLAUDING ACTOR AND PERFORMER
RJ WALKER FOR HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE ACTING INDUSTRY
Whereas, the South Bend Common Council notes that RJ Walker, a South Bend native, is an inspiring actor and
performer building an impressive catalogue of work. Since being signed in 2012, he has booked over 20 commercials, 5
Guest Star/Co-Star roles in television, and scored a leading role in the SyFy film "2Lava 2Lantula" with Steve Guttenberg
and Michael Winslow. RJ is a star on the rise.
Whereas, RJ was born to Randall Walker, Sr. and Joann Walker on November 30, 1989 in South Bend, Indiana.
An active and animated child, he was a natural performer, always dancing and prancing around the house. His interest in
theater was piqued early-on in the Riley High School production of “Little Women” where he played the role of the
quintessential father figure, Father March. During his time at Bethel College, RJ tested his range by playing the hard living,
tough guy, Chandler Marlowe in the production of “The Butler Did It” and performing with Bethel College's Traveling
Acting Troupe "The Genesians" He continued his education in the arts as a student at Indiana University South Bend; and
Whereas, in 2011, he ventured to the west coast on his first visit to Los Angeles, nothing went as planned. With
every intention of returning to school, RJ found himself low on cash - not even enough to get a bus ticket home. Sleeping
on his friends couch, he played the role of “starving artist” searching Craigslist for odd jobs as he worked in the background
of the industry as a transcriber for the hit show “Dancing with the Stars”. Then, at a party for cast and crew, a talent agent
from Osbrink noticed his incredible dancing abilities and signed him to the agency; and
Whereas, since then, RJ has appeared alongside celebrities and guest appeared on popular television shows.
Notable accomplishments include hit shows like ABC’s “Castle”, TNT’s “Major Crimes”, Amazon’s “Hand of God” with
Ron Perlman, and FX’s “Baskets” opposite Zach Galifinakis; and
Whereas, RJ often returns home to South Bend for the holidays and finds inspiration from family, friends, and
peers who recognize all his hard work and dedication. RJ’s family has been an immense support system especially his
parents, who are extremely proud of everything he has accomplished and happy he is pursuing his dream.
Now, Therefore, be it resolved, by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows:
Section I. The South Bend Common Council proudly recognizes RJ Walker for his notable accomplishments and wishes
him all the best as he continues to pursue and achieve his goals and dreams in the acting industry.
Section II. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by the Common Council and approval
by the Mayor.
