Born Robin Andrew David Brown in 1963 in Poole, Dorset. Rad has had a passion and talent for creative writing from a very early age , always being urged by family and friends to pursue a career as a novelist. This ideal was put on hold when he started a family early in life. As the years passed his passion for film escalated and Rad was eager to participate in the industry and when in his early 40's he joined a local theatre club for some training. After a year he realised that it was more geared for the stage and left. However, Rad joined a casting agency and soon began getting supporting artist & walk-on work on Tv whilst also honing his acting skills by undertaking main roles for the local university film students. This also led to various roles in independent feature films. Whilst on set Rad avidly took note of what was going on around him and asked questions as soon as the opportunity arose. Constantly up against more seasoned actors in auditions or applications for bigger and better roles, Rad decided there had to be another way. He realised that by combining his writing talent , the knowledge acquired on film sets and his growing list of contacts he could maybe get showcased making his own independent films. This idea would also help to showcase other lesser known talent. The scriptwriting started and people were interested. He set up Hard Road Films with a dedicated team. In 2015 he decided that a name change was needed after realising that several Robin Browns were featured in productions and settled on Rad , an acronym of his three forenames.
