Renny’s yearning to keep his day-to-day life close to his chest is likely due to all the success he achieved seemingly overnight. In the late 2010s, Renny, whose real name is Lorenzo Cromwell, began making videos on Vine and Instagram while he was a theatre student at Brooklyn College. Eventually, his content started getting him noticed online and even on campus.

Now that he’s been on Hollywood’s radar with films like Due Season, Fruits of the Heart, and The Christmas Lottery, Renny has no plans on stopping anytime soon. While featured on his alma mater’s website, Renny said his success feels “surreal,” the new dad still has more that he would like to achieve for his baby boy.

“I still have so much I want to do in this life!” the comedian admitted. “I want to do more of what I have been doing: more movies, some television. Ultimately, I want to reach a point where I’m greenlighting projects. A lot of the success I’ve had still feels surreal to me. Honestly, I haven’t done anything yet.”
