A couple of weeks ago, I posted about Yaya DaCosta being cast as Whitney Houston in the new, made for tv movie WHITNEY HOUSTON, directed by Angela Basset. Recently, the actor to play Bobby Brown in Whitney’s biopic has been announced … Arlen Escarpeta (pictured above). I don’t have much to say about this casting mainly because this is my first time hearing of Escarpeta. Although he’s not a newcomer (google him) I’m not familiar with his work or able to recall a standout role like how I distinctly remember Dacosta from The Butler. However I don’t hold that against him. I’m always rooting for someone’s big break. I’m enthusiastic for his performance as the “1st bad boy of R&B,” or as Whitney would say lol, “the original king of R&B” Mr. Bobby Brown. Not related to the biopic, but an interesting tidbit: Escarpeta was born in Belize, Central America in April of ‘81. At 3, after his father’s death, he and his mother moved to the US settling in L.A. & for what it’s worth, I like his look. Hence this photo in particular :) but I like his look with his clothes on too (ha ha). Again, google him ;) -- source link
