Acclaimed Actor, Writer, Producer, Musician, these are just a few of the titles worn by the DC resident, Meshaun Labrone. Born and raised in South Florida, Miami specifically, some of his noteworthy pursuits include previously spending 11 years as a Corrections Officer for the State of Florida, Special Deputy U.S Marshal. In addition, he also worked on the Relisha Rudd missing persons case while serving as a Metropolitan Police Officer in Washington, DC.
Labrone always had a love for performing arts, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Florida International University (FIU) in 2005. That love for theater and the arts has led him to write, direct and star in a number of stage performances during his career. One of several notable shows is his role as the late, great rapper Tupac Shakur; Labrone wrote the show as a part of his senior project while at FIU in 2004. This one man show quickly gained international recognition and Labrone was invited to perform at the Tara Theatre, Off-West End in London. Another notable accomplishment for the actor was his show POWER! Stokely Carmichael which played at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture's Oprah Winfrey Theater to a sold out show, both in 2017 and 2018.
Not one to be boxed in, Labrone has also had roles in film and television which collectively promoted him to a SAG-AFTRA union member. The exploration of the arts would not stop there, as Labrone would go on to explore his love for music – from curating a soundtrack for his web series Spook to releasing his own debut single in 2019, titled River of Deceit.
Labrone is avid about community and giving back, when he is not writing or acting, Labrone devotes his time to mentoring students in the DC area and has led acting workshops for college students within the region.
