Biography

Cornelius C. "Neil" Brown, Jr. (born June 19, 1980) is an American actor. His most recognizable role may be in the television series The Walking Dead as Guillermo, leader of the Vatos and as Felix on the short-lived South Beach on the former UPN.

Brown was born in Orlando, Florida, to Cornelius Brown, a US Marine, and Carrie Brown, an insurance underwriter.

He appears alongside Denzel Washington in Out of Time (2003) and Colin Farrell in Tigerland (2000). He plays the smart-mouthed Marine, Lcpl.
