While most people know the horror AMC Networks’s TV show The Walking Dead, many don’t know that there is a ’90s movie with the same name and Vonte Sweet is one of the stars. Nevertheless, the show and the movie have different plots, in fact, the movie centers on soldiers on a mission and there are no zombies. Directed by Preston A. Whitmore II, the 19995 The Walking Dead stars Vonte in the role of an impressionable young soldier Joe Brooks. Aside from that, the actor is known for his gigs on projects like Menace II Society (1993), Traffic (2000), and Boyz n the Hood (1991).

Vonte’s career exploits are distributed between the small and big screens with the first recorded role coming in 1988.

Where is Vonte Sweet now?

He has not done any acting since his role in Traffic (2000). The talented actor has dropped off the radar with no hint about what he might be up to. Nevertheless, he left memorable footprints with his last role and the ones before it.

Who is his wife?

Perhaps the fact that he didn’t spend much time in the spotlight made it impossible to know much about Vonte’s personal life. For this reason and his personal decision to keep sensitive facts away from public scrutiny, it can not be confirmed if the actor is married or has been in any relationship. If his age is anything to go by, he might be married but that is not enough reason to come to that conclusion.

For now, we are settling with the fact that the actor might be single since he has not shared any information about a partner. Besides, the fact that he is not active on any social media platform makes it difficult to know what is happening in his personal life.
