The New Orleans-based actor, model, and basketball star Ian Winningkoff has eight acting credits on the IMDB.
Including Secrets of Sulphur Springs, a Disney Channel teen thriller about kids who travel back in time to uncover the secrets. Preston Oliver plays focus character Griffin.
And several locally-produced shorts, including Revelation, Dies Irae, Good Girl, and Birthday Surprise. Eli Barron is his usual costar.
Ian's most famous role to date is Young Chuck Montgomery in Season 3 of The Righteous Gemstones. In a flashback to 2000, he plays a sort of backwoods Tom Sawyer/ Barefoot Boy with Cheek of Tan terrorized by his hard-core fundamentalist parents. He grows up to become one of his father's most loyal militia men, played by Lukas Haas.
Ian is also deeply involved in local New Orleans theater. He has appeared in Legally Blonde, The Addams Family, Shrek, and Into the Woods, Jr.
Most recently Ian played Kenickie, focus character Danny Zuko's best bud, in Grease.
More Ian after the break
There's a stronger gay subtext than in the movie version. Left: Charlie Antis as Danny.
He attended his high school prom -- with a girl -- in 2024, so he's probably over 18. Still, I'm going to skip the search for risque photos, and post some Grease alums instead,
Sean Mulligan, Kenickie in the 2007 London West End revival.
Aaron Tveit, Danny in Grease Live!
A nude "Greased Lightning" in Sydney.
And of course, the original movie Danny, John Travolta.
