Crystal Lee Brown talks "Hidden Figures", telling important stories, her new Starz series "Hightown", and an audition story where she should have held onto those sides!
About Crystal:
Crystal Lee Brown can currently be seen in a large role as Janelle, a no-nonsense prison physical therapist who forms a romantic relationship with a patient, on Starz’s crime drama Hightown. The series follows a woman’s journey to sobriety that is overshadowed when she is pulled into the middle of a murder investigation. The second season is airing now.
She is no stranger to the small screen. Brown was nominated for her first Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Digital Drama Series for her role as Tamara in Giants, which streams on Issa Rae’s YouTube Channel.In addition, she is known for her three-season run as Sergeant King on the hit CW series Black Lightning. Brown also recurred on season 2 of Netflix’s Mindhunter, which was executive produced by Charlize Theron and David Fincher. Her memorable role on Showtime’s The Good Lord Bird earned praise from The New York Times and Time Magazine. Brown’s niche as the hip and witty charmer with an east coast flare has also landed her roles on numerous other networks including Netflix, HBO, ABC, CBS and TNT.
Brown made her mark on the world of film in the Academy Award-winning Judas and the Black Messiah as well as Uncle Drew. She also starred as Bernie, one of the mathematicians known as a “human computer” in the award-winning Hidden Figures alongside Taraji P. Henson and Octavia Spencer.
