Personal life

Brown was seven years old when his family moved from Havana to Harlem, New York. He formed the singing group 'The Parthenons,' which had just one television appearance before dissolving. Brown left high school at 16, after being encouraged to do so by a handful of dissatisfied teachers. At 17, he left New York to Los Angeles. After a few years of not knowing what he wanted to do, he decided to go back to school. He passed the college entrance exam and was accepted into Los Angeles City College, where he majored in Theater Arts to "take something easy." He loved it so much that he returned to New York to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. He worked as a school janitor to pay his tuition. While studying under Richard Burton's mentorship, he met his wife Tyne Daly at AMDA. They were married for 24 years, from 1966 to 1990. They have three children.
