Duran Fulton Brown
- Actor
Duran Fulton Brown is an award-winning actor and writer, born in Central London as the youngest of six brothers in a working-class, multicultural family. A proud alumnus of the National Youth Theatre and a dyslexic creative, his work is recognised for emotional stillness, quiet intensity, and grounded screen presence. His dyslexia shapes his distinctive "StoryConduit" process, contributing to the depth and authenticity he brings to every role.
In 2023, Duran received critical acclaim for his performance opposite Joaquim de Almeida in The Last Animal, earning Best Supporting Actor for a portrayal praised for its subtlety and dramatic precision. His upcoming work includes The Pendragon Cycle, an epic adaptation of Stephen R. Lawhead's novels, where he plays the complex character of Elphin across multiple decades, and the highly anticipated The Capture (Series 3) for the BBC.
Duran has worked with acclaimed directors including James Mangold (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Paul Greengrass (Jason Bourne), and Oscar-winner James Lucas, who described him as "a godsend and the real deal... a rugged charm reminiscent of Errol Flynn." Playwright Tina Jay noted his "enigmatic intensity, similar to Alain Delon-dangerous and exuding menace," while legendary filmmaker Nicolas Roeg praised his "rare sense of truth in performance" and personally recommended him to his own representation.
Seamlessly transitioning between blockbusters, thrillers, and character-driven drama, Duran's performances are marked by psychological depth, meticulous preparation, and a pursuit of truth. As a writer, he explores themes of identity, masculinity, emotional inheritance, and human complexity through screenwriting and short fiction.
Beyond film and theatre, Duran has a strong presence in fashion and editorial photography. He has worked with renowned photographers such as Mario Testino, Bruce Weber, Greg Williams, and Charles Moriarty-whose portrait of Duran was shortlisted for Portrait of Humanity Vol. 4. Editorial features include Vogue Homme, GQ, 125, and Out Magazine. These visual collaborations enhance his cinematic expression, reinforcing the quiet power that defines his craft.
Duran Fulton Brown continues to build a dynamic and thoughtful body of work-defined by authenticity, nuance, and emotional stillness-that resonates with collaborators, critics, and audiences alike.
