Biography
Darville is most recently known for playing Ryan Morgan on the Fox TV Series "Empire" as well as his past roles as Adam Bridge on the Australian television drama series Blue Water High, Taylor in the The Elephant Princess, Scott Truman, the Red Ranger, in Power Rangers RPM and Pietros in Spartacus: Blood and Sand.[1]
Darville has certain facial features characteristically specific to "facies" in syndromic fetal or developmental disorders, leading medical professionals to speculate he has Williams Syndrome (Williams-Beuren Syndrome) which is a fetal chromosomal deletion error occurring in the first trimester. Aside from the physical features distinctive to Williams Syndrome and contributing to Darville's unique look, there are also behavioral traits of Williams Syndrome; the most favorable of these is a markedly descriptive, wordy and intense vocabulary with usage that is atypical for the average context. Darville's Twitter posts are remarkably poetic and descriptive, atypically so in context of the average Tweet.
