Ezra Masters is unquestionably one of the most sought after talents and rising stars in the United States. Seemingly designed for stardom he lead his high school basketball team to state finals 2 years in a row as captain of the team and was voted in high school by teachers as "Most Liked By Teachers" and "Student Most Likely To Start The Revolution." Ezra has never been a person of ordinary character or reputation. A man of many extraordinary talents, Ezra is a noted Model, Actor, Life Coach, Personal Trainer, Self Defense Instructor, Motivational Speaker, Author and avid world traveler. Born in the projects of Poughkeepsie, NY and raised on the streets of Miami, FL he now resides Los Angeles, California. As a professional model Ezra was the poster child for many companies ranging from Hair Care Products to Food store Snacks. He aspired toward his career in Acting while putting himself through college (attaining his B.A. in Management Information Systems with a minor in Psychology).

Ezra achieved SAG status in 8 days of moving to L.A. after booking an guest appearance on Nip/Tuck. Ezra continued in his Hollywood success by booking several national and international commercials over the next several months until achieving worldwide celebrity 7 months later after being debuted on VH1’s “I Love New York 2” utilizing his childhood nickname “Buddha” as his call sign. That show is still the #1 show in VH1 history and as a result is currently on rotation throughout the world. Buddha was the central figure in the show. The finale of the show was based on the juxtaposition between Buddha and his competitor under the premises that they were complete polar opposites. Their contrast of characters was compelling enough to gain diverse audiences and viewer numbers never before experience in VH1’s history. Although in the end Buddha would lose the woman, as runner up, he won the hearts and respect of tens of millions across the world and is praised by his fans for his stance as a man of reason, integrity and realness; not the frailty and submissiveness of his competitor. Given the extreme celebrity and demand of Ezra “Buddha” Masters VH1 brought him back for an encore presentation in “I Love Money 2” due to air in January of 2009. Moreover, Buddha was ranked as #2 in “Greatest Celebrity Rivalries” and #5 as “Reality TV’s Sexiest Men.” However Buddha’s worldwide notoriety for being reality televisions “Real Man” has not over-shadowed his seemingly innate talent in being a phenomenal and well-respected actor. Buddha is currently booked and in negotiations with several upcoming feature films and episodics including the feature film “Pure Shooter” (filming 2009) and episodic “Zane’s Sex Chronicles” (airing November 2008).

A metaphor for his difficult upbringing and trying circumstances in Miami, FL Ezra emphatically states that he was, "born against the odds and raised against the grain" and firmly believes in what was best stated by Nieche, "that which does not kill you makes you stronger." Similarly, his personal motto states he was, "born in the flame and forged by the fire." Ezra is truly a shining star with unlimited potential only bested by his ambition to succeed and to help the less fortunate. Ezra habitually donates to non-profit organizations including Green Peace and ASPCA. He is a man that is acutely aware of his surrounds and, "the effect of anything against everything" and makes no apologies for serving and loving a better God than those that pursue death and mayhem in the name of another. Ezra volunteers at local homeless shelters, gives religiously to prevent animal cruelty, motivationally speaks, and privately gives personal training and self defense lessons as part of his "Life Coaching.”

When Ezra is asked why he does so much he smiles and responds, "I'm trying to make amends with God for all the lazy souls in this world.” In 2 years living in Hollywood Ezra has accomplished more than most groups of men in a decade of Hollywood socializing. He is articulate, intelligent, accomplished, respected, and adored for daring to be the talent, the man and the role model that most people wouldn’t even consider being. There is no doubt Ezra is a truly remarkable man and incredible fast rising star we can all look forward to seeing and hearing much more of in the many years to come.
