Roy was born in Landstuhl, Germany to the parents of Roy Gene Coulter and Doris Heidemarie Ingeborg Waske. His father was serving overseas with the Air Force when he met his mother during his tour of duty. He primarily grew up all over the United States while his father continued to serve until his retirement in 1983. Roy was an active child, always participating in team sports and activities such as the Drama Club. He earned his Eagle Scout Award in 1982 while attending three different high schools before settling down and graduating high school in 1984 from Rossville, Georgia. While in high school, Roy was also involved with Air Force JROTC program which he served as Cadet Commander during his senior year. After graduation, Roy enlisted with the Tennessee Air National Guard so he could attend college and hopefully earn his degree. He enrolled with a junior college and took classes in the evening, while working as a roofer during the day. He did this for about a year when he realized his passion for active duty service was stronger than a part time commitment. Roy went active duty with the Air Force in 1986, serving in the position as Security Police which later became Security Forces. He would eventually complete 20 years of active duty service; earned the rank of E-7 Master Sergeant, and retired in 2006 with total of 21 years combined. It was in 2006 when his love for acting resurfaced after his Drama Club days and some acting seminars under his belt. He auditioned for the part of a football referee in We Are Marshall (2006) during an open casting call, but was chosen to play the role of a National Guard troop at the aircraft accident scene. Roy would continue filming this project as a Game Photographer several months later until completion. From there, Roy would go on to play the role as a football referee in USA Networks, Necessary Roughness in 2012; Season 2, Episodes 12 and 16. He took his football officiating talents and earned a part in The Game (BET) for Season 9, Episode 10 in 2015. Roy appeared in the new television series on FX's, Atlanta, as a gun shopper and a basketball referee. From there, he played a recurring role as a Secret Service Agent on Tyler Perry's production of The Haves and Have Nots, Season 5 and he also played a Guard in Season 7 of The Walking Dead, Episode 3; all to be aired in 2016. Roy returned to the silver screen as a bar patron in the Beech Hill Films production of One Last Thing (2017) and as an FBI Agent for Endurance Media production of Felt (2017). He is involved with an independent feature movie playing the role of General Thompson which will later be submitted to the Sundance Film Festival in 2017 giving him his first speaking role as an up and coming actor.
