American Actor, RO BROOKS, born Jerome Curtis Brooks Jr., 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". A few years later, Ro landed his first 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 other acclaimed directors such as, Michael Bay, Fab 5 Freddy, Quentin Tarantino, Michael Mann and Tyler Perry just to name a few.
