Early life [ edit ]
Brown was born in Harlem, New York on March 11, 1984,[1] [2] [3] [3] Brooklyn . Brown attended Poly Prep Country Day School and Prep for Prep ,[4] [3] [5] Amherst College , where he balanced his education and acting career.[4] Finding Forrester , Brown's only acting experience was a school play during childhood.[3]
When he turned 16, Brown auditioned for Finding Forrester extra .[6] Gus Van Sant claimed Brown was the actor he was seeking to portray high school basketball player Jamal Wallace, and cast him in the role.[7] Sean Connery .[8] [9] [10] [11]
In 2005, he played the role of basketball player Kenyon Stone in the drama film Coach Carter Samuel L. Jackson .[12] A. O. Scott opined Brown had a "strong" showing in the movie.[13] Take the Lead Antonio Banderas and Alfre Woodard .[14] Ernie Davis in The Express: The Ernie Davis Story [15]

Personal life [ edit ]
Racial profiling lawsuit [ edit ]
In 2013, Brown was arrested for allegedly purchasing a watch for his mother with a "fake" credit card at Macy's in New York City .[22] American Express credit card was actually his. Evidently, Macy's staff had become suspicious (possibly due to the cost of the watch, his age and/or his ethnicity) but had not taken basic steps to check the validity of the credit card with American Express or cross-check against his driving license. Subsequently, CNN reported that the actor had "reached a 'settlement in principle' in his racial profiling lawsuits against Macy's and New York, according to court documents and a statement from the retailer."[23]
