So much so that he jokingly prides himself on having a "Flawless American Accent".This versatility has only served to help him garner a coveted role in the in "disturbing, stylish, and sexy" NYC Stage Production of Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, which marked his off-broadway debut, a lead role in the edgy off-broadway play 'safeword.', and another in the epic African saga 'Bayano', at the National Black Theatre.For his feature film debut performance, Brooks received critical acclaim as Yenny in the slow-burn thriller 'Bwoy'; opposite Anthony Rapp. In Television, he can be seen on hit shows like Madam Secretary, Elementary, and Power. Brooks received a Best Supporting Actor Award at the 2012 A.C. Cinefest for his role in the short film 'Curveball'.He is an alum of Washington University in St. Louis with a BFA in Drama, and BA in Mathematics.
