The Dirt: Miles "Baby Boogaloo" Brown

If you’ve seen ABC’s “black-ish,” you’ll recognize Miles Brown as Jack Johnson, one of the sitcom’s youngest stars. But though he’s just 10 years old, Brown (aka “Baby Boogaloo”) isn’t new to the spotlight. At 5 he danced on “America’s Got Talent” as well as on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” In 2012, Brown performed in Christopher Scott’s “S2dio City: The Courts,” and the following year he got a big break when he appeared in the Virgin America Safety Video directed by Jon M. Chu. Though Brown has shared the stage (and screen) with the likes of Chadd Smith, Cyrus Spencer and Stephen “tWitch” Boss, he’s still a regular kid at heart, competing with the Southern California–based teen dance crew Emanon.
