== Early life ==
Wooley was born in Fairfax, Virginia to George and Winnie Wooley. He has a twin brother, Marcus-Leon, and a younger brother, George Jr.. He grew up in Bowie, Maryland. Wooley began playing the piano at age five and initially wanted to be a classical concert pianist. However after participating in a high-school production of ''Oklahoma!'' he became interested in the theatre and the dramatic arts.
At age sixteen he was given the opportunity to study piano at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C. but turned it down to instead focus on acting and singing. At age eighteen Wooley was awarded a full scholarship to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City, one of 21 scholarships granted in a nationwide competition. He studied at AMDA for a year before embarking on his own to pursue an acting career.
Wooley auditioned 107 times before landing his first role in the national tour of ''Purlie'',〔(Internet Broadway Database )〕 making three-hundred dollars a week. After the national tour of ''Purlie'' Wooley returned to New York and supported himself by playing in piano bars and occasionally singing in subway stations as well as working as a singing waiter on the ''Spirit of New York'',〔(Spirit of New York Homepage )〕 a dinner cruise ship that circles Manhattan.
