Terrell Tilford (born in Los Angeles, California, U.S. on July 22, 1969) is an American film, stage, and television actor best known for roles as David Grant on The Guiding Light (1998–2001), as Greg Evans on One Life to Live (2009–2010), as Ramon Rush in the Lifetime drama series The Protector (2011), and as Sean Clarke on the sexy scripted series Single Ladies.
Has been known to do many of his own major stunts, on various sets, in place of well-established stunt men hired for him. Terrell often studies fight and stunt sequences during rehearsals and is quick to step right in front of the camera to shoot the scenes himself. After watching him during the rehearsals for a major stunt sequence on The District, Will Smith's personal stunt double hired for him, even encouraged Terrell to do the stunt himself, provided he wanted do. Terrell did all the stunts, which included tumbling down a paved alleyway to destroying a restaurant during a chase scene.

Mr. Westmore came out of retirement for 5 weeks, often starting at 4am to work on Tilford's make-up, which included recreating the original concept of the Klingons, the hybrid half-Klingon, half-human, Marab.
