Novi Brown is a German and American actress known for her award-winning role as ‘Sabrina Hollins’ in the hit BET comedy-drama series, SISTAS, created by Tyler Perry. At the age of 9, she began studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, igniting her interest in the acting arts. The bi-lingual actress graduated Magna Cum Laude from CCNY with her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre. Novi began her career in New York City as a commercial actress and print model, amassing an impressive novice portfolio with over 60 print and commercials ads.
This work has led Novi to work with some amazing clients, which include Essence Magazine, Swarovski, Frito-Lays, Scholastic, Lifetime Movie Network, UP! TV, Swirl Films, ID Channel, Budweiser, HBO Shorts, E! Networks + many, many more. Her commercial work spans well over 35 spots on national, internet and International media outlets.
After booking a major campaign for ORS, where she became the eventual spokesperson, she packed her bags in her 1997 Grand Prix Pontiac and headed to Los Angeles, California - arriving July 4th. After many years & many shifts in the industry - being part of the transition from in-person to digital, Novi booked her first TV Series Regular in 2019 on ‘SISTAS’.
Since then, Novi has appeared in over 165 episodes of TV, starred in 5 films, acted in 4 shorts and has hosted the Red Carpet for the iconic Soul Train Awards & the NAACP Image Awards.
Novi also has a deep passion for expanding her skill-set and community efforts behind the scenes. She has produced Indie Films (The Hag, Wedding Material), short films (Drugs Are Fun, Ivory & Gold, Holly Roller), her own astrology talk show coined ‘CONVERSATIONS & CONSTELLATIONS’, and her first international feature film in Africa as a Consulting Producer for ‘A WESLEY SOUTH AFRICAN CHRISTMAS’.
Not surprisingly, Novi has begun her journey back to theatre as an investor and budding producer, with Denzel Washington & Jake Gyllenhaal ‘OTHELLO’ as her first venture.
