Billy Brown plays the role of Nate, the adulterous and over-ambitious love interest of Annalise, played by Viola Davis.

For Brown, playing Nate's role has been an exciting process, and getting to work alongside Davis (who plays Annalise) has been nothing but fun. Speaking of his character's love and hate relationship with Annalise, Brown explains,

"Being a cop compels Nate to seek out what's behind Annalise's motivation… There is a love for Annalise, not the same he has for his wife, but it's more of a strong like and infatuation."

The character Brown plays has developed over the years and from the fourth season, his character had a change of heart such that he chose to put his career before anyone else, even his love interest Annalise.

He is the exclusive voice for commercials for the United States Marine Corps.
