Born and raised amidst the soulful charm of Birmingham, Alabama, Linc Hand’s journey into the limelight commenced at the tender age of six. His presence has illuminated commercials, television screens, and feature films, creating ripples of admiration in the entertainment realm.
Upon making the pilgrimage to Los Angeles, Linc delved deeper into his passion for acting under the tutelage of the legendary coach Howard Fine. A confluence of innate talent and cultivated skill marked the genesis of a remarkable career.
