Duran Fulton Brown is a renowned actor and writer, hailing from Central London as the youngest of six brothers in a working-class, multicultural family. As a proud alumnus of the National Youth Theatre and a dyslexic creative, his work is distinguished by emotional stillness, quiet intensity, and a grounded screen presence.
Born with dyslexia, this unique challenge has shaped his "StoryConduit" process, contributing to the depth and authenticity he brings to every role. This process has allowed him to develop a distinctive approach to storytelling, which is deeply personal and emotionally resonant.

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.
Throughout his career, Duran has worked with some of the most acclaimed directors in the industry, including James Mangold, Paul Greengrass, and Oscar-winner James Lucas. He has also received praise from playwrights such as Tina Jay and legendary filmmakers like Nicolas Roeg, who described him as "a godsend and the real deal... a rugged charm reminiscent of Errol Flynn."
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 his work in 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.
