    Kedrick Brown (’08) is the Male Face of BU, actor Blair Under­wood’s suit collection at K&amp;G Fashion Superstore — a job for which he was selected by Underwood and his team through a submission process.

The honor comes as the theatre arts alumnus has appeared in ads for American Express, Heineken and others and prepares for a lead role in the movie 4th and Goal — a career his teachers helped keep on track.

“My professors at UNT really gave me a strong dose of reality and just what it takes to survive in the real performance world,” he says. “They instilled in me a dedication to my art, and through God I have been blessed with such opportunities.”
