Ernest Waddell (born 1986) is a New York City-based actor. He is perhaps best known for his recurring roles on two television series (each role, coincidentally, being that of a gay man): Fin Tutuola's son Ken Randall on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Omar Little's boyfriend Dante on The Wire.[1] His credits also include the television series As the World Turns and One Tree Hill and the film The Poker Game. He is also an amateur abstract painter.[1]
