BRANDON MICHEAL HALL
AGE: 24 WHERE YOU’LL SEE HIM: The Mayor (ABC, Tuesdays, 9:30 ET/PT) WHERE YOU MAY KNOW HIM: Search Party
(TBS) The best new sitcom of the fall wouldn’t work without Hall, who brings verve and charm to his performance as Courtney Rose, a young rapper who runs for mayor of his town as a publicity stunt, and then gets elected. Hall exudes the self-confidence the part requires, and he shines in the role opposite comedy and TV veterans Yvette Nicole Brown and Lea Michele.
