Orlando Brown

Orlando Brown, born on December 4, 1987, in Los Angeles County, California, is a multi-talented American actor, voice actor, rapper, and singer. He first rose to fame in the 1990s and early 2000s through a series of memorable roles in both television and film. Brown’s acting career began with his role in the 1995 film Major Payne, where he played Cadet Kevin “Tiger” Dunne. He continued to build on this success with notable appearances in TV shows like The Jamie Foxx Show and Family Matters, where he portrayed 3J Winslow from 1996 to 1998. His versatility also led him to voice work, with roles in animated series such as Waynehead and The Proud Family.

However, it was his portrayal of Eddie Thomas, Raven Baxter’s best friend on the Disney Channel series That’s So Raven (2003–2007), that made him a household name. His performance as the lovable and comedic Eddie contributed significantly to the show’s popularity.

After his time at Disney, Brown tried to transition into music, releasing several tracks, though his musical career didn’t quite match the success of his acting endeavors.

In recent years, Brown has faced a series of personal struggles, including multiple arrests and battles with addiction and mental health. In 2018, he appeared on Dr. Phil, where he discussed his struggles and made controversial claims, including one about being Michael Jackson’s son. In 2024, Brown made headlines with unfounded allegations against Nick Cannon, which Cannon dismissed as not serious, expressing concern for Brown’s well-being.
