Jonathan Daniel Brown is a multifaceted American creative force, exceling in both acting and directing. He initially gained recognition for his portrayal of J. B. in the 2012 film Project X, which marked a pivotal moment in his career.
This breakthrough role was a direct result of a national open casting call, where Brown, along with Thomas Mann and Oliver Cooper, were selected for the film despite being relatively unknown at the time. Their shared success in Project X served as a springboard for their individual careers.
In 2014, Brown took on the lead role in the film Kid Cannabis, further solidifying his status as a rising star in the industry. His directorial debut, Horseshoe Theory, premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival in 2017 and went on to receive a prestigious jury prize award.
In addition to his work in film, Brown was also a prominent figure in the world of podcasting, serving as a member of the popular leftist pop-culture podcast Struggle Session. However, on February 19, 2019, it was announced that Brown had decided to leave the show, bringing an end to his involvement with the program.
