Derek Luke stars in NBC's drama "Trauma" as paramedic Cameron Boone.

In 2002, Derek Luke made a profound impression on audiences worldwide with his courageous portrayal of an abandoned and abused young man trying to find his path in Denzel Washington's directorial debut, "Antwone Fisher." With this performance, Derek Luke became one of the most sought after young actors and earned the respect of the industry and his peers.

Derek Luke earned several awards and accolades for his performance, including a Black Reel Award for Best Actor, and an Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead. Derek Luke also earned a BET Award in 2003 for Favorite Actor.

Following the success of "Antwone Fisher," Derek Luke co-starred in a number of diverse roles, including "Biker Boyz," alongside Laurence Fishburne, the critically acclaimed independent film "Pieces of April" with Katie Holmes and was tapped by director David Mamet for a starring role in the political thriller "Spartan" with Val Kilmer and William H. Macy.

In October 2004, Derek Luke starred as James "Boobie" Miles in "Friday Night Lights," a film directed by Peter Berg and produced by Brian Grazer. The popularity of the movie spawned the critically acclaimed NBC television series of the same name.

Derek Luke continued to prove his versatility as an actor in a series of films including Jerry Bruckheimer's "Glory Road," "Catch a Fire" co-starring Tim Robbins, "Lions for Lambs," directed by Robert Redford and starring Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise, and the romantic comedy "Definitely, Maybe."
