Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss grew up in Montgomery, Alabama and studied dance at the Southern Union State Community College and Chapman University, per the Daily Mail. He appeared in “The Way Robson Project” on MTV in 2003, and came in third place. He then competed in the “Star Search” revival, where he was runner-up.
Boss’s next foray into the competition world was “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 3. Although he wowed the judges, he didn’t make it to the live shows, per TV Line. Undeterred, he came back for Season 4 and came in second place. The infectious dancer was so beloved, he came back as an All-Star and eventually as a judge. “Me and Nigel [Lythgoe] just feel like Mama Bear and Papa Bear. And so proud of Twitch and everything that he was doing. And then it was a big full circle moment for us when he came back and judged on the show. And it was really the best of times,” judge Mary Murphy told People.
After “SYTYCD,” Boss landed a role in “Step Up 3D,” and would later go on to star in other “Step Up” movies. He also starred in the hit movie “Magic Mike XXL,” as well as another dance flick, “Stomp the Yard: Homecoming,” per HITC. Although it looked as if Boss’s movie career was taking off, he settled into a role in television, which he may have been best known for before his death.
