Reuel Belt

Actor Reuel Belt got his big break in his hometown of Baltimore, where he worked on a hit TV drama before moving to Hollywood to pursue his dreams full-time. Once in L.A., Reuel was soon working with acclaimed directors and starring in national commercials. We’re proud that Reuel is also a member of First Entertainment. “It’s awesome feeling like I’m banking with other artists with the same mission to create stories that impact and change the world!” says Reuel. We chat with him to find out how we’re helping Reuel reach his financial goals!

What is the key to being successful in the entertainment industry?

“Stay motivated. In my school years, I explored photography, sculpture, guitar, and musical theatre before focusing on acting. After a few years running educational and youth sports non-profit programs, I returned to performing and was quickly cast in the first-ever lacrosse feature film, Crooked Arrows, and soon after, a Cannes Short Film selection, Roses.”

What inspired you to become an actor?

“I got the opportunity to work on Netflix’s House of Cards with Mahershala Ali, David Fincher, and Kevin Spacey while in my hometown of Baltimore City. Then, I decided to move to Los Angeles.”

How does First Entertainment befit you as a creator of entertainment?

“First Entertainment Credit Union understands what we need as creators. The staff is always pleasant and quick. With my tight schedule, it takes a huge pressure off to work with staff that is knowledgeable, efficient, and thorough. It is always a pleasurable experience when I call or drop by my local branch.”
