Dallas natives Brittany Perry-Russell & son Isaiah are wrapping up Netflix’s We Can Be Heroes

Texas native Brittany Perry-Russell has graced multiple stages as a professional dancer, appearing with Beyoncé, Rhianna, Chris Brown, Nick Jonas, Meghan Trainor, Katy Perry, and most recently Cardi B, Janelle Monáe, and Kanye West.  In 2011, Perry-Russell successfully transitioned to acting when she landed a lead role in the Universal film Honey 2.  She was later cast in the Will Ferrell comedy, The Campaign, followed by Sparkle, and The Preacher’s Son based on Carl Weber’s bestselling novel.  Perry-Russell can be seen opposite Derek Luke in Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, where she’s featured in a recurring arc in its second season. Her TV credits include guest-starring roles on Grey’s Anatomy  (ABC), Crazy Ex Girlfriend (The CW), and Fresh Off the Boat (ABC). She can be seen in the new Netflix’s Family Reunion, opposite Loretta Divine, Tia Mowry, and her son Isaiah Russell-Bailey.

In addition to lighting up both stage and screen, Perry-Russell is most proud of working alongside her son Isaiah Russell-Bailey this year in two back-to-back Netflix projects, Family Reunion  and the just announced We Can Be Heroes Original movie. He has guest-starred in the popular Disney series, Raven’s Home  and CBS crime dramas S.W.A.T., and Criminal Minds. As a young child, Isaiah often accompanied his mother to the set, where he first learned to break dance. His infectious smile can be seen in marketing campaigns for Nike, Target, Under Armour, Skechers, and GX by Gwen Stefanie Eyewear. Outside of acting, Isaiah enjoys art, playing basketball, dancing and parkour, a training discipline developed from military obstacle course training.
