I attended K'wan's Book Launch party and as usual took a bunch of photos. K'wan (http://authors.aalbc.com/kwan.htm) is pitcured on the left. What is the brother's name on the right. I recognize his face and was told he is an actor. Unfortuinately I forgot his name just as quickly as it was told to me. Thanks.

I couldn't think of his name either, but I know he is from Chicago and was noticed by a casting director on a Chicago bus and approached about taking a role in Soul Food which was filmed there.

Troy,

I'm always wondering about the name of actors and what other stuff I saw them in. You should check out www.imdb.com which is really great for situations like that. You can enter titles, names, plots, etc. Here's more on Mel Jackson: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0413852/

Thanks everyone.

E, IMDB can't help you if you can't name anything an actor worked on. I had nothing to work with and I figured I'd get an answer here pretty quickly from someone with a higher pop culter quotient.

I posted some photos from the event here: http://events.aalbc.com/kwans_book_party.htm

Peace
