leading<br />
man ro brooks<br />
Ro Brooks is no stranger to the entertainment world. He’s done so much in<br />
terms of performance, and really getting himself out there on all fronts throughout<br />
the years. Nearly 25 years to be exact. Brooks was once a power player<br />
within the music industry, running his own musical empire and standing strong<br />
behind some of the biggest names to drop jewels on music lovers. For him, it<br />
was all a stepping stone to realize the big picture, which of course was acting.<br />
Brooks has been a part of some of the biggest movies to hit the box office, beginning<br />
in 1993 with Robert Townsend’s Meteor Man, and also some of televisions<br />
biggest series’, which is partly why we are here today.<br />
Brooks has been one of the main characters on Tyler Perry’s The Have and The<br />
Have Nots. Unearthed near the middle of season 2, his character has grown to<br />
amazing heights in terms of popularity and the intricate storyline that Perry has<br />
put together. To say he’s become a fan-favorite on the show is quite an understatement.<br />
His level of acting, paired with that of every one of his castmates,<br />
has taken this series to new and unimaginable heights.<br />
In this feature, we were not only able to catch up with him about his role and<br />
where things are headed, but also the other things he has on his plate, which<br />
definitely includes a few new movies. We also talk a great deal about the ways<br />
he’s working to give back to the urban community and show our youth that they,<br />
too, can make it and do whatever they dream. As the article title suggests, he’s<br />
showing why he’s television’s new leading man. It’s evident that he’s doing his<br />
thing on screen, and that of course is all good, but in this article, you’ll learn<br />
that he’s really doing his thing off screen, and he’s doing things that are so much<br />
more important in the grans scheme of it all, because he’s instilling hope in<br />
those coming behind him. He’s making a way for those who feel like there’s no<br />
way. He’s proving that with hard work and dedication, and a firm trust in God,<br />
that all things are possible just the way you dream it. Now that’s what being the<br />
leading man is all about !
