Yvette Nicole Brown

Best known for her role on NBC's Community, Yvette Nicole Brown began her television career on Girlfriends and currently stars as Dani on the reboot of The Odd Couple. Brown has since appeared on shows such as Entourage, Psych, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hot In Cleveland, Melissa & Joey, The Office, The Soul Man, That's So Raven, Half & Half, Sleeper Cell, House, Two and a Half Men, That 70's Show and Boston Legal. Brown also starred in the miniseries The New Edition Story.

In film, Brown made her debut in the romantic comedy Little Black Book alongside Brittany Murphy and Oscar winners Holly Hunter and Kathy Bates. Brown also appeared in Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder, where she worked with Matthew McConaughey, and the family film Meet Dave, where she realized a childhood dream of sharing the screen with Eddie Murphy. Additional film credits include Michael Bay's The Island with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, Dreamgirls, The Kid and I, Hotel for Dogs, The Ugly Truth, (500) Days of Summer and Repo Men, where she shared the screen with Jude Law and Oscar winner Forest Whitaker. Brown can also be seen peeking through prosthetic makeup as one of the Three Fates in the Percy Jackson sequel Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.

Brown has also lent her voice for several characters on the big and small screens, including roles in Family Guy, Pound Puppies and, most recently, Yellowbird.
