Remember the lovable 12 year old Ahmad from “Soul Food”? His real name is Brandon Hammond. He’s 25 years old living in California pursuing his college degree. I really couldn’t find his twitter page, but I have to say he was one of those kids that was in all of the black classic films.
Hammond’s first film role was in Menace II Society where he played the younger version of the main character Caine. He followed this up with major roles in Strange Days, Waiting to Exhale, The Fan and Mars Attacks, usually playing the son of one of the main characters. He also appeared in Space Jam playing Michael Jordan as a child. His most well-known role is that of Ahmad in the hit film Soul Food. Ahmad was the narrator of the film and Hammond received critical acclaim for standing out amongst the ensemble cast. He was also the role of an abused child in Tales from the Hood.
He had a recurring role on the TV series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman as Anthony. He simultaneously starred in the short-lived sitcom The Gregory Hines Show as Hines’ son. His last role to date was in the 2002 Showtime film Our America. He has not appeared in any feature film or television roles since turning 18.
