Get to know the super talented Dante Brown!
The 16-year-old actor stars in the upcoming Fox series Lethal Weapon as Roger Jr, the son of Damon Wayans’ character, who is just coming back to his job in the LAPD after a near-fatal heart attack.
“Working on Lethal Weapon is like a box of unmarked chocolates…each day gets sweeter and more and more exciting!” Dante told JJJ. “It’s lit…figuratively and literally! (laughs).”
Dante also shared 10 fun facts about himself. Check it:
1. Music
I write, produce, and audio engineer rap songs that I upload to Soundclound and YouTube under the moniker DanteThePoet. For the most part, I’m self-taught with my musical ear. Earlier on, I worked with my mentor, Grammy Nominee Haskel Jackson for a short bit, but after he relocated his studio, I ventured off to really hone my skills by watching YouTube videos and experimenting with various sounds on my own, while getting further acquainted with Protools. I learned how to audio engineer my songs, as a result of going through The Grammy Foundation’s 10-day summer Grammy Camp. So now I am equipped to make all of my music in my closet, but I am always open for learning new skills, attending workshops etc. to make my music the best quality possible to share, in the hopes that it will speak to others going through situations like myself.
2. Pets
Since my 8th birthday, I’ve had a pet turtle that I named Lil T… well I had one but when we moved to California from Chicago, my Grandma kept it for me and has been taking care of him ever since, and let’s just say… Lil T is now Big T. I’ve been doing a bit of research for my next pet and I’d love to have a mini octopus for my room. They seem really cool… a short life span, but unique. I’m still checking things out, though, to see if this is what I want and would be conducive for my current schedule.
