Jermaine Fowler

Jermaine Fowler (born May 16, 1988, in Washington, D.C.) is an American screen actor, writer, and comedian whose energetic style has made him a standout across film and television. Blending sharp timing with grounded character work, Fowler has built a career that moves easily between studio comedies and offbeat, contemporary stories.
