Chad Brown is something of a natural. He can grace movie and television screens, the theater stage, or a poker table with a natural sort of talent. Bronx, New York born Brown has funneled his multidimensional talents into a profitable career as both the host of the TV series Ultimate Poker Challenge, and as a big money winning poker professional. He has played among the world’s poker elite at the World Series of Poker - and whether he’s acting or not, he makes it look easy.
The road to Brown’s success started with simple games of poker that Brown enjoyed around the Bronx at local Italian eateries. He did what many aspiring young actors did in the early 1990's - he headed west to Los Angeles in hopes of making a name for himself. His move was met with success and his acting credits include Caesar’s Challenge, the soap opera Another World, and his current stint with the Ultimate Poker Challenge series. Brown’s not just making his dreams come true as an actor and TV host. He’s stamping his name into poker history with plenty of money finishes. In 2002, he placed 3rd in the WSOP $1,500 Omaha hi-lo split event. He earned 2nd place in the 2004 WSOP $1,500 Seven-Card Stud event. In 2005, he finished 2nd in the $2,000 Seven-Card Stud hi-lo event. At the World Poker Tour’s Shooting Star tournament during the fourth season Brown took 6th place. Brown also excels in online poker. He outlasted over 170 opponents in the 2006 World Championship of Online Poker $5000 H.O.R.S.E. event finishing first and earning over $223,000.
