Stanley J. Browne
Stanley James Browne is an actor from Hackney, East London. The second of four children, he grew up with a Jamaican mother against a backdrop of poverty, racism and hardship in 1970s Britain while surviving the care system as a young child. After a turbulent upbringing, he trained at the Anna Scher Theatre in North London, going on to win the sole scholarship for men at Mountview Acting Academy in classical theatre. He has performed Shakespeare’s Othello, and appears in film, TV and theatre. As well as an actor, Stanley is also a singer-songwriter and has recorded two albums.
Throughout his career, he has appeared in both television and film, and has performed at venues such as the Globe Theatre, the National Theatre Studios, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His notable stage performances include Titus Andronicus (2013), Chigger Foot Boys (2017), Romeo and Juliet (2019), and One Under (2019). He won the best actor in a lead role award for his work in Bethlehem Lights (2017) and garnered rave reviews for his performance of Shakespeare’s Othello (2011).
Little Big Man (Jacaranda Books, 2022) is his first book.
