STAR-KIDZ EXCLUSIVES

Tyree Brown currently portrays “Jabbar Braverman” on Parenthood. The show began in the middle of the 2009-2010 television season and currently is in its second season.

1. How did Tyree get into this type of work?

His older sister was doing acting/modeling and so at 3 years old, we sent some pictures of him into a couple agencies and then he was signed.

2. What has Tyree enjoyed most so far about playing ‘Jabbar’?

Jabbar is a lot like Tyree — the character likes to swim, play soccer and be with all of his family! Jabbar is a little more shy/quiet than Tyree is, but Tyree likes that it is easy and comes natural to do Jabbar’s lines. And he has such great on-screen parents (Dax Shephard and Joy Bryant).

3. Whose the biggest prankster (jokester) on set?

Dax Shephard

4. How does Tyree enjoy working with Savannah and Max?

He really enjoys working with both Max and Savannah because they are like family to him.

5. What has been Tyree’s favorite print job to do?

He has enjoyed all of this jobs so far, but his most favorite was Red Envelope because it was on the beach.

6. Has Tyree filmed any commercials?

He did a Walmart commercial at the age of 4….mostly print and voice over jobs.

7. How does Tyree like working with Cole Sand?

Cole is such a great kid and Tyree and him get along so well. They really enjoy each other’s company.

8. What has been Tyree’s favorite scene to film so far for Parenthood?

He liked doing the soccer scenes and the swimming pool scenes, but really likes any scene he gets to do with Max or Savannah!

9. Does Tyree have a special routine to get into his part of Jabbar?

No, when the director calls “action”, he just does what he is suppose to. He learns his lines the day before with his parents.

10. How did Tyree enjoy the Power of Youth event?

He thought it was a lot of fun and got a lot of neat things, but since he is only 6, he is just now starting to learn about “giving back” so this was a great start for him to understand that giving back is just as important as receiving.

11. Is there anything else you’d like to add?

One of Tyree’s favorite things about being on set is the FOOD! But he enjoys working with EVERYbody also!

We’d like to thank the Brown family for participating in the Star-Kidz Holiday Q&A event this year!
