- Actor
- Producer
Actor Brooks Darnell was born July 26th. The
eldest of three sons, 'Brooks', named by his father after
baseball great Brooks Robinson, aspired to be an actor.
Brooks' passion to perform started at an early age. He attributes his
tenacity to his mother as it was she who would encourage him to build
his talent through reciting monologues and dancing to the hits of
Michael Jackson and MC Hammer.
After being scouted at a local fair at the age of sixteen, Brooks
signed with a talent agency and soon after tested his skills at the
nationally acclaimed IMTA talent showcase, New York City competition.
Brooks placed third out of over four hundred monologue contestants
which won him an invitation to study at the prestigious Conservatory
theater school in San Francisco.
Brooks held off on pursuing his acting career to continue his education
as a pre-med student on a football
scholarship. Be it a sign from the universe or blessing in disguise,
Brooks two year success came to an end due to a sports injury.
Opportunity calling, Brooks Darnell again pursued a career in front of
the camera and in 2001 he signed with BMG Models in Chicago. He was the
first African American male client to grace their roster.
Brooks' next move was to Toronto, where he developed his talent by
studying under some of the most respected acting coaches such as Larry
Moss and David Rotenberg.
Now residing in West Hollywood, Brooks continues his quest to become a
bankable name and staple in entertainment. As "Stevens" in the highly
anticipated summer blockbuster Total Recall, Brooks is well on the
right path.
Said by his coaches and those who watch him to be 'a definite leading
man' and described to possess the 'ability to bring each character to
life with great truth'. Brooks Darnell, is sure to be a force.
