Lionel Boyce was born in May 1991. He grew up in Inglewood, California, and made his start in showbiz as a member of Odd Future, an alternative hip-hop collective that formed in 2007, alongside Tyler the Creator<\/span><\/a> and Frank Ocean.<\/div>\n

Boyce and Tyler attended the same high school and became friends during their senior year in drama class. Between 2012 and 2015, Boyce \u2013 then known as L-Boy \u2013 co-created and produced Loiter Squad, a live comedy sketch series created by Odd Future for Adult Swim. It was then that Boyce was first drawn towards acting, a career he had never considered before.<\/p>\n

He co-founded a production company<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
