He won a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Series - Supporting Young Actor.
Between 2014 and 2016, Brown appeared in several short films. He and Marsai Martin, who plays his twin sister on Black-ish, voice the recurring characters of siblings Jack and Jill on Goldie & Bear. Brown danced in Cirque du Soleil's annual benefit show, One Night for One Drop.[9][10]
