Born and raised in Inglewood, CA, Brooklyn Mclinn has always had a skill for entertaining at an early age, whether acting, performing or exhibiting his athletic ability he was able to captivate audiences.

Torn between pursuing a career in acting or professional basketball, Brooklyn chose to concentrate on basketball and played professionally in Taiwan and Mexico. After ending his basketball career, Brooklyn’s need to fulfill his other desire led him to discover the empowering strength in acting. He states, “Acting was a life-saving experience that provided me with the permission to express emotions and issues that I wasn’t ready to deal with. Issues that I have been internally trying not to deal with based on judgments of appearing weak.”

He not only found strength in the acting exercises but he shares them with those he comes in contact with. His determination to complete every task to his best abilities transcends in every area of his life. When he is acting he gives 100% as he does when he is playing ball, exercising or teaching. Brooklyn feels “If you stay ready you don’t have to get ready.”
