Bronson is a hip-hop artist known for his laid-back flow and humourous and obscure references. He most well-known song is “Baby Blue” featuring Chance the Rapper, which reached the Billboard Hot 100 in 2015.

He’s also deeply entrenched in the culinary scene, hosting the Viceland series “Fuck, That’s Delicious” since 2016. The show has featured celebrities like Jonah Hill and restaurant legends including Daniel Boulud and Michael Voltaggio. He also hosted a culinary late-night talk show called “The Untitled Action Bronson Show,” and he led Viceland’s “Traveling the Stars: Action Bronson and Friends Watch Ancient Aliens” — a docuseries that is exactly what it sounds like it is, plus a lot of weed.

Bronson has also appeared on screen in Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” and Judd Apatow’s “The King of Staten Island,” but “Caught Stealing” seems to be his most substantial acting role to date.

Bronson is repped by WME, manager Buddy Gates and attorney Sebastian Zar at Sedlmayr & Associates.
