Personal life
Tillman grew up in Largo, Maryland, in the Washington metropolitan area, and has five older siblings. After graduating from Eleanor Roosevelt High School in 2003, he enrolled at Xavier University of Louisiana as a premed. However, he did not enjoy the course work. In 2005, after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, he transferred to Jackson State University, where he changed his major.
Tillman graduated from Jackson State with a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications in 2008, summa cum laude, and a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of Tennessee in 2014, and was the first African American man to graduate from that program.
Tillman credits his mother for inspiring him to go into acting to overcome his shyness.
