Jerome Ro Brooks
Actor, Producer
Born June 18, 0001 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Award-winning, American Actor and Talent Manager, Jerome Ro Brooks, aka Ro Brooks is named after his father Jerome Curtis Brooks Sr. Ro was born and raised in the hood of West Baltimore. Ro's natural acting ability was cultivated by his Grandmother and Great Aunt, who would encourage Ro and his three older sisters to perform dance and musical routines for them by throwing change at their feet. During his younger years, Ro began developing his musical prowess by rapping and dancing at local talent shows and events. While attending Walbrook High School, Ro's early success would begin when he got together with a group of friends and formed the rap group, Twice As Nice. The group would win 1st place at a local talent show that would earn them a spot on the bill at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater for a taping on "Showtime at the Apollo". They would go on to make history by becoming the first rap group to win on "Amateur Night". Shortly after, Ro landed his first acting role as an extra in the feature film "The Meteor Man", directed by Robert Townsend. That was the start of his acting career. Ro has gone on to work with several other acclaimed directors such as, Michael Bay, Fab 5 Freddy, Quentin Tarantino, Michael Mann and Tyler Perry just to name a few. Ro Brooks is known for his dramatically, compelling role as Michael, on OWN's - Tyler Perry's, hit drama series "The Haves and the Have Nots". He has also had the pleasure being cast in BET's, historical three night mini-series, "The New Edition Story" and other projects including: (Film) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Kill Bill, Mysterious Ways, A Beautiful Soul, Pastor Shirley and Squatters; (Television) HBO's critically acclaimed The Wire, FX's Sons of Anarchy, Showtime's Shameless, FOX's Emmy Award Winning, Brooklyn Nine Nine and 24, CBS's CSI New York, El Rey's Matador and many more; (Commercial) National US Marine Corps Commercial and Toyota Avalon Commercial Campaign "Only The Name Remains" starring opposite International Actor Idris Elba. Ro is also an entrepreneur. He opened his first music store/record label called "Rome Records" at the young age of 22 years old. As a direct result of the stores success, Ro opened another two music stores, one in Baltimore and the other in Atlanta, Ga., both under the name "Sounds-N-Da Hood". With an extensive background in music, Ro welcomed the opportunity to return to his musical roots while integrating and expanding on his acting talents to include music videos, working with such artist as: 50 Cent, Justin Timberlake, Lil' Wayne, TI, Jill Scott, Young Jeezy, Snoop Dogg, Shyne, Lil' Mo, Syleena Johnson and Master P just to name a few. Having escaped the trappings of the inner city in which many of his family members, friends and community members weren't so lucky, Ro felt compelled to create "The Hook Up"- Music Catalog/Entertainment Magazine. THU's ultimate mission was to provide inspirational messages to inmates serving time in correctional institutions across the country, while simultaneously reassuring them that they are not forgotten by incorporating a Pen Pal service into the magazine. They would also be afforded the past-time privileges of enjoying interesting articles to read from some of their favorite musical artist as well as being able to order their music and other electronics. Ro was honored by his hometown with a street sign in his childhood neighborhood that bares his name, "Jerome Ro Brooks Way" in 2024. That same year he was also honored by Donelle Dadigan (President/Founder) of The Hollywood Museum which resides inside of the iconic Max Factor building, by having one of his wardrobe selections from his time on Showtimes Shameless, being included with their Black History Month exhibit. Ro was awarded the "Humanitarian Award of the Year" in 2017, and the "Trail Blazer, Entertainer of the Year Award" in 2015. The first time author, wrote his book "How To Go From Extra To Actor" to help aspiring actors evade many of the pitfalls and potholes he had to endure along his road to success. Ro shows his support in the fight against HIV by joining CDC's "Doing It" campaign to help bring awareness to teens across America of the rapidly spreading disease as well as for reasons that are very personal to him. He is a proud board member of Youth Gun Safety Inc., a non profit organization, founded and operating in the state of Maryland. Ro joins the all star cast of "Medinah" the multi-award winning Middle Eastern Sci/Fi - Drama series set in Doha, Qatar. He plays Malik Jackson, a CIA agent sent to find his partner and bring him home safely. Medinah is now streaming on Starz Play. You can also find Ro's very first thriller "The Caregiver", on Tubi and other streaming platforms. Ro is on track to becoming one of Hollywood's Leading Men.
