Meet Lucas:

Born and raised in Orlando Florida, I was brought up in a quiet suburb with my two brothers and my loving parents, all of whom instilled in me the passion I have for the arts today. Born to two professional athletes, my parents inspired a deep, insistent, fervorous drive within me that I bring to all of my work as an actor today. I’ve been blessed enough to receive training at top acting institutions such as Interlochen Arts Academy (commonly regarded as one of the top performing arts high-schools in the world,) the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London (RADA,) and the Boston University School of Theatre, my dream school, where I’m currently studying to achieve my BFA in Acting.

Within my work I’m drawn to stories that are soaked with complexity. More specifically, how two “opposites” can exist at once - beauty and ugliness, loneliness and community, and right and wrong. Amplifying black voices and lifting up my communities stories is one of my favorite things to do as an artist. Additionally, I’m a huge believer in radical kindness - in my head, striving to be a better actor and trying to better yourself as a person are one in the same.

Outside of the theatre, you can find me reading, (my favorite author is Hanya Yanigahara) sketching, eating sushi, and listening to a lot of Nina Simone. I hope to play characters who, no matter what, dig into their gut and fight for what and who they love.

Testimonials from Directors and Teachers

  • "Lucas Brown is a flexible, fun and curious young actor who is not afraid to make big, bold, hilarious choices. I still laugh when I think about some of the moments he embodied for me as the impetuous Laurie Laurence. His performance was memorable, not only because of his hard work and humor, but also his emotional availability and his open heart. I hope I get to work with him again someday. My highest recommendation."

  • "Lucas arrived early to our sessions prepared and ready to work. Lucas has an easy charm to his acting that makes him instantly likable on stage. He brought a great energy to his work portraying Prince Florizel in the Winters Tale. I wish him all the best on future endeavors.

  • "Lucas is the nicest guy in the room, and he is determined to get better and better as an actor every day. He's got a curiosity and a fire to him, that along with his handsome looks makes him a compelling prospect in really any medium or genre. It's not everybody that you'd be just as excited to see them in an indie film as you would in a Shakespeare play."

  • "I was Lucas's private acting coach to help him prepare for his college auditions and have remained a mentor for him. Both his natural talent and work ethic are to be admired . He always came to class prepared , ready to work with bravery. I have learned that to make it in this business very few have all the criteria. Lucas is one of those few and I am excited for his acting career to grow. Any director that gets to work with this talented, wonderful hearted young man will have no regrets."
