Early life

[edit]

Brown was born in Alameda, California to an African-American father and white mother. She has Irish ancestry from the maternal side of her family. She was raised in Springfield, Oregon.[4][5] At age four, Brown had her first role in a church musical which sparked her love of performing. Growing up, she participated in numerous musicals and was a member of various musical clubs, choirs and groups, some of which include University of Oregon, Portland Shakespeare Project, Art's Umbrella, Oregon Children's Choir, and Upstart Crow Studios.[6] Following high school, Brown moved to Portland, Oregon to pursue acting.[7]

Career

[edit]

Brown began with minor roles in NBC's Grimm and Freeform's The Fosters. She went on to star in Camp Harlow and Forgotten Hero, and guest star on NBC's Brooklyn Nine-Nine.[8]

In 2015, Brown landed the recurring role of Evangeline "Evie" Murphy in seasons 2 and 3 of HBO's The Leftovers.[9][10] Evie is the daughter of Erika and John who goes missing with her friends after an earthquake.[11] Following The Leftovers, Brown was cast as Nina (Cameron's new girlfriend) on Freeform's Stitchers.[12] She went on to play series regular character Emilia Bassano on the TNT drama series Will, which told the story of William Shakespeare. Emilia was a musician, poet, and writer, who went on to become the first female professional English poet and was believed to be the "Dark Lady" of Will’s sonnets.[13]

Brown is a series regular in the Shondaland drama For the People on ABC. Two weeks before the premiere of For the People, she signed with ICM Partners.[14] She was cast in the independent film Sound of Violence as Alexis Reeves, a formerly deaf girl who goes on a murder spree.[15] Initially titled Conductor, the film was released in 2021 to positive reviews for Brown's acting.[16] Jessica Kiang of Variety wrote that Brown gave "a lead performance that oozes empathy as much as her hapless victims ooze blood".[17]

In September 2020, Brown was cast as Mindy Meeks-Martin in the fifth Scream film, which was directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.[18] The film was released on January 14, 2022.[19][20] It was a critical and commercial success, and was the 28th-highest grossing film of 2022.[21][22][23] She reprises the role in Scream VI, which was released on March 10, 2023,[24] to similar success.[25][26] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times called Brown "a scene-stealer as Mindy".[27] She appeared in the 2024 film Dreams in Nightmares.[28]

She also has released at least two songs; "Orange Wine"[29] and "goddamnit"[30] on YouTube.
