MEHCAD BROOKS

Mehcad Brooks also began his career by modelling Calvin Klein underwear. From 2005, Brooks tried his hand at acting by landing a role on popular tv show “Desperate Housewives”. Since this time, Brooks has had roles on “True Blood”, “The Game” and “Supergirl”. Brooks attended USC’s school of Cinema-Television, and even turned down numerous basketball scholarships and other offers from Ivy League schools in order to attend USC. This is presumably where Brook’s acting interest peaked.
