Graduated from Lincoln University of Pennsylvania in 1946.

For several years he was selling wine for the Schenley Import Corporation, and in 1956 announced that he had decided to quit this job and become a professional actor - in this he was helped as much as he could by the famous opera singer Leontina Price.

The owner of a sonorous and beautiful baritone, Roscoe Lee Brown later became a sought-after voice actor. In 1968-1969 he worked as a night DJ at WWFS radio station. In 1968 he recorded the radio program Music and Gibran, in which he recited verses by Gibran Khalil Gibran to original oriental music.
