Career
Aubrey started acting on the stage, portraying Simba in the Broadway musical The Lion King, a role he alternated with Judah Bellamy.[3] Aubrey has his first major, starring role after being cast in January 2017 as Tyrone Johnson / Cloak, one of the lead characters, in the Marvel's Cloak & Dagger television series. The show, set within the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, is broadcast on Freeform network, and is jointly produced by Freeform, ABC Studios, and Marvel Television and is based on the Marvel Comics characters of the same name.[4][5] Aubrey felt his casting was coincidental.
