Often mentioned as the greatest player in NFL history, this ruggedly handsome African American fullback for the Cleveland Browns first appeared on movie screens in the western Rio Conchos (1964), followed by a strong supporting role as convict commando "Jefferson" in the terrific WWII action film Les douze salopards (1967). He was kept busy with additional on screen appearances in other fast paced films including Destination: Zebra, station polaire (1968), Les 100 fusils (1969) and El condor (1970).Brown's popularity grew during the boom of "blaxploitation" cinema in the early 1970s portraying tough "no nonsense" characters in Massacre (1972), Gunn la gâchette (1972) and Les démolisseurs (1974). His on-screen work in the latter part of the 1970s and 1980s was primarily centered around guest spots on popular TV shows such as Chips (1977) and K 2000 (1982).
