The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Gilbert Glenn Brown Enters Genoa City As Jett Slade, Here’s What You Need To Know About Y&R Newest Cast Member
According to reports, actor Gilbert Glenn Brown has joined the cast of The Young and the Restless as Jett Slade. He plays Ana’s father and an R&B artist. Apparently, he’s also got some secrets from his past that will soon see the light of day, too!
If Gilbert looks familiar, that’s because he’s one of the busiest actors in the entertainment industry. He’s appeared on series such as Stranger Things and The Resident and played Dean Foley on The Inspectors from 2015 to 2018.
Outside of Hollywood, Gilbert is also a huge supporter of The Mind-Builders Creative Art Center’s Positive Youth Troupe. As a matter of fact, it’s also where Gilbert began his career as a Broadway actor. He admits that he has fond memories of his early days on the stage.
He told Broadway World in an interview, “I’d always been a creative kid growing up in New York. Enjoyed the arts. Really always felt like I had something to say and share, but not really sure how to do it. Plus, there were quite a bit of distractions – some positive, some not. When I saw PYT perform on stage at my school, I was blown away. Not that it was a perfect performance, but in seeing other young people up there, I could see myself. Doing something positive, affecting the audience, using their gifts to educate, uplift and empower. It didn’t hurt that they dressed like me, spoke like me, moved like me, using the music I listened to, and speaking on my concerns of the time. All while having fun.”
