1 HE IS A FORMER PROFESSIONAL THAI BOXER[hhmc]
Brown was a professional Thai boxer who had competed internationally and was a two-time world champion.
Thanks to his martial arts background, he has an advantage on the physically demanding Strike Back.
He says: "Training for the series had always been pretty intense. We were in Jordan for a month, training for four or five hours every day with the special forces there. I found myself using the skills I had acquired during my time as a boxer."
2 HE LOVES MALAYSIA[hhmc]
When previous season Strike Back: Revolution was shot entirely in Malaysia, Brown took the chance to explore the country outside of filming, visiting places in Penang, Johor and Langkawi.
He says: "Malaysia is beautiful. I have fond memories of jogging along the beach and exploring the jungle there. It has incredible scenery and the people are just so nice and welcoming."
He is looking forward to visiting Malaysia again in the future.

While working with various special forces from countries such as Jordan and Croatia for the show, Brown discovered that Strike Back is popular among military personnel.
He says: "Their appreciation for our show convinced us to preserve as much realism in the show as possible, so that it continues to be a show they can relate to and find some familiarity with."
4 HE IS NOT AFRAID TO SHOW HIS EMOTIONS[hhmc]
The day of the final episode was an overwhelmingly emotional one, but Brown is grateful to have met his co-stars and production team.
"We had all gotten so close over the past few years. As such, it was natural for us all to feel rather sad about the show coming to an end," he says.
