Olamide Faison

Olamide Faison, or Olamide Aladejobi Patrick Alexander Faison, an American actor, and plays Miles Robinson on Sesame Street. He joined the cast in 2003 as the third actor to play the role, after Miles Orman and Imani Patterson.



His character has become a more integral part of the show's cast in the last couple of years, perhaps mostly to fulfill Sesame Workshop's need to sustain youth among the cast, as the old guard of the show ages.

Faison has an experience in working with television, film and commercials like - portraying the young Malcolm X in the film "Seven Songs for Malcolm X" and appearing in the 1996 telefilm "Rebound: The Legend of Earl 'The Goat' Manigault". Faison has also appeared in commercials for Pizza Hut, Chevy trucks and Mattel Toys.

Faison, in addition to acting, is also a singer and musician. He is the lead singer and the guitarist for the Universal/Motown group Imajin.

His name is of Yoruba origin. He's been dating Bad Girls Club heaviest member, Natalie Nunn, for six years.
