Sarah Joy Brown
Born in Eureka, California, Sarah Joy Brown had an eclectic, nomadic upbringing, living -- in various combinations -- with her mother, father and two siblings in cities throughout California. "I went to 13 different schools before I graduated from high school. It was the best education possible," Sarah confides.
In Los Angeles, Sarah was a student at Santa Monica College when she was chosen as a series regular for the popular V.R. Troopers children's series. "I got the job on my 19th birthday. What a gift!," she enthuses. Other television credits include Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, The New Power Rangers Zeo, Lifeguard and Sweet Valley High.
Theatrically, Sarah has recently been seen in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, Antigone, and a new drama titled Desperate Land. In feature films, Sarah starred in The Heist, Permanent Solution, and Merely Players.
Active in many endeavors, Sarah spends her free time reading, writing, playing guitar, painting and directing. She is also active in raising funds for AIDS awareness and support.
