Community Cast: Where Are They Now?
4. Yvette Nicole Brown
Yvette Nicole Brown starred in Community as Shirley Bennett, the lovely yet harsh single mother of the study group. With her departure before season 6, the study group certainly felt like a part of it was missing.
Before Community, Brown had appearances in one off episodes of many shows, like many of her castmates. These include shows such as Drake & Josh, That's So Raven, and That '70s Show. She also a few big screen appearances in features like 500 Days Of Summer, Hotel For Dogs, and Tropic Thunder.
Since her departure from Community in 2014, the future voice actress had main roles in a variety of shows, including The Odd Couple, DC Super Hero Girls, Elana Of Avalor, and The Mayor, as well as being the host of The Big Fib.
It's easy to say that Yvette Nicole Brown is busy with a lot TV appearances. She's got a lot of commitments to a lot of productions, which is one of the reasons she had to depart from Community when she did. If a Community movie were to happen, it's not guaranteed that Brown would return. She's very busy, and due to her absence in the final season of the show, they'd be able to make it work without her. Hopefully that doesn't have to happen.
