By only 16 years old Dante Brown had established himself as a bonafide "one to watch" talent in the entertainment industry, known not only for the diverse and engaging characters he has brought to life on screen, but also for excelling in music, dance and creating innovate online content to connect with Generation Z. This fall 2016 Dante can be seen on FOX's highly anticipated, new series "Lethal Weapon." Set to premiere just before Empire on September 21, the show is based off the 1987 film, and follows Roger Murtaugh [Damon Wayans Sr.] and Martin Riggs [Clayne Crawford] as a pair of mismatched L.A.P.D. detectives. Dante shines as Roger "R.J." Murtaugh Jr, Murtaugh's good but slightly rebellious teenage son who is trying to carve out his own place in the world outside of his parents' expectations.
Born and raised in Chicago, Dante began acting and modeling as a baby, quickly landing campaigns for Keebler and Sears within a month of getting started. His bubbly and charismatic personality was nurtured by his parents, whom along with industry pros, identified the "it" factor in their baby boy. One of Dante's big breaks came when he was only 5 years old, when he caught the attention of Oprah Winfrey. After auditioning with over 500 children, Dante was chosen to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show's first "Amazing Kids" episode, featuring Jay Leno as host. Dante was able to showcase his talents in comedy, acting and dance. His performance on the show solidified him as one of Oprah's "All-Time Smartest and Most Talented Kids." By 2012 Dante had become a popular face in Young Hollywood, racking up dozens of credits in television and film and embracing his new nickname deemed by casting directors and growing fans, a "Young Denzel Washington".
His first feature, the Lifetime movie "America" which he appeared alongside Rosie O'Donnell, landed him a Young Artist Award Nomination in 2009 for "Best Performance in a TV Movie, Miniseries or Special - Supporting Young Actor." It was only up from there, as Dante went on to appear on a plethora of TV series including NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," Michael Bay and TNT's "The Last Ship," Showtime's "Shameless," Nickelodeon's "Henry Danger," NBC's "Community," NBC's "Southland," and CBS' "NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service," to name a few. Dante held his first series regular role in 2015, co-starring opposite comedian Craig Robinson on NBC's "Mr. Robinson." On the film front, Dante made his feature debut in 2012 appearing alongside Oscar Nominated, Emmy Winner Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Won't Back Down" for Twentieth Century Fox Films. Summer 2016 placed Dante in production filming the short, Black Doves, as one of the lead characters alongside his brother Dusan Brown.
When not on set you can find Dante in the recording studio, laying down tracks under his moniker "DanteThePoet." A Grammy Camp alumni and independent artist, Dante takes the blueprint of Childish Gambino, the lyricism of Kendrick Lamar, and the hustle-nomics and genius of Kanye West, to create a sound that is on the forefront of hip hop music, inspiring and uplifting other post-millennial teens, like himself. As to be expected, Dante's working on recording his debut album, and plans to release his 2nd mixtape, "Bipolar" as a Back to School event via www.Soundcloud.com/DanteThePoet.
Dante also has a passion for creating scripted projects - over the past few months he's been writing his first animated series which he hopes to be able to pitch to networks, within the year, and is the co-creator of Talking with The Brown Boys [YouTube Webisode] alongside his younger brother Dusan. Although acting has been Dante's bread and butter over the years, his music, a strong second, Dante is also a self taught dancer, taking first place at the Monsters of Hip Hop Freestyle Battle, and has future plans and aspirations to launch an innovative, cool teen clothing line.
On the charity front, Dante has big ideas for how he wants to give back to the community in the near future including launching a youth concert entitled DanteThePoet + Friends, which will showcase local teen, rising stars, and provide youth a fun, safe place to gather with their friends every month. In today's political climate with police brutality on the rise, gun violence, gang violence, and teen drug abuse, Dante has made it a personal goal to set a good example for youth, bringing awareness to various organizations who work to uplift young, Black men and women in Dante's hometown of Chicago, as well as where he resides with his family, Los Angeles.- Actress

Multi-talented, GenZ award-winning creative, Dusan Brown, born and raised in Chicago, relocated to Hollywood early to pursue his growing career in the entertainment industry.
Around age twelve, Brown had an opportunity to write, direct, edit, and score his first short film with equipment, a crew, and even a set mentor. Although the program, Ghetto Film School, was intended for high school students, Brown was selected as one of their youngest Fellows ever admitted.
Brown became an esteemed U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts (Film) and a prestigious National YoungArts Foundation, Gold Level $10,000 Winner (Film). His hard-hitting, coming-of-age short film, Reece, which he wrote, directed, and edited while still in high school, won five (5) awards at various national and international film festivals. Reece often competed against undergraduate and graduate film student projects. Reece earned 14 nominations and was screened by over 10,000 viewers at 15 festivals, including the Oscar-qualifying Los Angeles International Shorts, Sacramento International, WILDsound Diversity (Toronto), Baltimore International, and American Pavilion Emerging Filmmaker Showcase (Cannes), to name a few. Brown's latest student short, All In, an edgy, drama with semi-action moments, that he wrote, directed, and starred in, hit the festival circuit in 2023 and was just shortlisted as a Semifinalist for the 50th Annual Student Academy Awards.
Brown, an ever-evolving director-writer, is a Chapman University scholar, matriculating their esteemed Film Production program with Directing as his major. Over the past 5-6 years, Brown filmed a total of over 30 short films and music video projects, either independently or in collaboration with classmates.
Having worked as a professional actor all of his life, Brown earned over 20 professional acting credits ranging from the Netflix Oscar-Winning feature, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom to the motion picture 42, a plethora of guest star roles on hit TV shows, as well as series regular on major network, animated shows. On the theatre side, Brown also played the coveted lead role of Young Simba in Disney's The Lion King on Broadway, North American Tour, and was nominated for a Young Artist Award for his performance and has booked over 25 national commercials as principal, including two Super Bowls.
As a filmmaker and film lover, Brown finds himself transfixed with stories about anti-heroic characters whose problems deal with ethics and morality. These are the types of thought-provoking stories Brown plans to continue making as they shed light on social issues not faced by just African Americans but stories that demonstrate common threads within humanity.- Actress
