Justin Randell Brooke was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. His acting debut came early, when he landed the role of Ebenezer Scrooge in a 4th grade class production of A Christmas Carol. After graduating from Florida State University (with a degree in Poetry), he moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he began his artistic career as guitarist and songwriter for the rock 'n' roll band Howlies. In 2008, Howlies inked a record deal with NYC label Over/Under and flew to the California desert to record their debut, 'Trippin' with Howlies'. Howlies spent the next 4 years touring on the strength of 'Trippin' with Howlies', and their 2010 follow-up, 'Stunned'. Howlies split shortly after the release of 'Stunned', and Justin was drawn back into the acting world and jumped head-first into Atlanta's growing film industry. Justin began his film career in earnest, as a walker on AMC's The Walking Dead (2010), and quickly parleyed that into a regular stand-in gig. Stand-in work turned out to be a golden opportunity for Justin, not only giving him the chance to learn the film-making process, but leading directly to acting opportunities. The first break came when Justin was hired to stand in for Scoot McNairy on Season 1 of AMC's Halt and Catch Fire (2014). After being noticed by producers Melissa Bernstein and Jeff Freilich, Justin was given an audition, and subsequently landed the role of Dave, a slightly inept computer coder. In Season 2 of Halt and Catch Fire (HCF), Dave became a recurring character opening the door to more opportunities. From there Justin landed supporting roles in the feature films The Birth of a Nation (2016) and The Founder (2016) and a recurring role as Young Simon Barnes on Outcast (2016). - IMDb Mini Biography By: Anon
