Quite a familiar name in the TV world, Brown made several appearances on shows like ‘Malcolm & Eddie’ and ‘Friends and Foes’ in 1999. His acting in ‘Safe Harbor’ won him a nomination for ‘Best Performance in a TV Series’ award.

In 2001, Orlando Brown began his long and most successful association with Disney after making an appearance in ‘Lizzie McGuire’ the series.

In early 2016, he was booked by police after getting into a violent argument with his then-girlfriend, Omenia Alexandria, in Torrance. He was also arrested for domestic battery and possession of methamphetamine. Omenia also claims that Brown is the father of her son, Hunter Duke Brown, born on December 4, 2016, although he has denied it.

Orlando Brown was born on December 4, 1987, in Los Angeles, California. Not much is known about his family. He was in a relationship with Omenia Alexander but the two of them broke up in 2016. He has also been suffering from cocaine and meth addiction.
