Often mentioned as the greatest player in NFL history, this ruggedly handsome African American fullback for the Cleveland Browns first appeared on movie screens in the western Rio Conchos, followed by a strong supporting role as convict commando "Jefferson" in the terrific WW2 actioner The Dirty Dozen. He was kept busy with additional on screen appearances in other fast paced films including Ice Station Zebra, _100 Rifles (1968)_ and _Condor, El (1969)_ .

Brown's popularity grew during the boom of "blaxploitation" cinema in the early 1970s portraying tough "no nonsense" characters in Slaughter, Black Gunn and Three the Hard Way. His on screen work in the latter part of the 1970s and 1980s was primarily centered around guest spots on popular TV shows such as "Chips" and "Knight Rider". However, Brown then resurfaced in better quality films beginning with his role as a fiery assassin in The Running Man, he parodied the blaxploitation genre along with many other African-American actors in the comedy _I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka (1988)_ , played an ex-heavyweight boxer in the sci-fi comedy Mars Attacks! and ironically played an ex-football legend in the Oliver Stone directed sports film _On Any Sunday (1999)_ .

Additionally, Jim Brown was a ringside commentator for the first six events of the Ultimate Fighting Championships from 1993 through to 1996. A bona fide legend in American sports and a successful actor, he continues to remain busy in front of the camera with recent appearances in various sports shows & TV productions.
