Sullivan Beau Brown, also known as Sully (although he has said he's not keen on this near-universally used nickname) is a member of the No Rolls Barred family.
- "And you've got me... the Bertie Wooster of the group."
- ―Sully (Let's Play MYSTERIUM)
Sullivan is a fancy and kind boy. He hosts the Patreon podcast Are You Evil?!, and takes part in most No Rolls Barred videos including Board Game Club and No Rolls Barred Plays Blood On The Clocktower. He is a regular on House Rules.
Sullivan does a terrific Michael Caine impression. He is also known for his love of trains[8], and for having sex with horses, pandas and all the fish in the sea (employers, this is a joke). He has huge, muscular and very beautiful calves, and is thus a member of the Sexy Legends. He wasn't great at Blood On The Clocktower to begin with, becoming infamous for his classic early role reveals, but eventually became one of the best players on record. Sullivan opens his Christmas presents both in the morning and in the afternoon, and until he was 18½, he thought the popular New Year's Eve song Auld Lang Syne was "Old Man's Eye". He likes tea (Yorkshire Gold) and Chelsea Football Club, which is why he always plays the colour blue in every game. Dom wants him obliterated, but if Sully is ever able to get into power, we also know that there will be a lot of kisses.
As of May 2022, his favourite board game was either Cosmic Encounter (his 2nd and 3rd favourite, because he can't count or read[9]) or Blood On The Clocktower. He also adores the game Unmatched. The game he thinks is most overrated is Betrayal at House on the Hill.
Outside of No Rolls Barred, he appears on WrestleTalk and partsFUNknown content. He is an actor, comedian and writer, performing in the award-winning comedy duo Grubby Little Mitts with Rosie Nicholls. He was an extra in the 4th and 5th Harry Potter films. His favourite song is "It's Raining Men", by The Weather Girls.
As of 18 May 2024, Sullivan is reigning Lord of the Board, having taken the title from Jon after a successful challenge in 3 STAGES OF HOUSE RULES (Connect-4, Yahtzee and Pictionary).
Biography[]
Sullivan has 5 sisters, all of whom, along with the rest of his family, once forgot his 26th birthday[10]. Despite appearing to be one of the most English people in history, Sullivan has a mixed English/Irish background and his parents are both academics. Sullivan attended The Brit School, then the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School (rather than the actual university), alongside several later members of the NRB cast.
He met Adam through Dom in a game of Call of Cthulhu (during which he played a character named Spleen Victoria) and they became friends, continuing to play games together. Sullivan was asked if he would appear in the first series of City British Wrestling, but was on tour in Austria at the time. During the pandemic, he saw that No Rolls Barred was active and hoped to be included. Adam later messaged him and asked if he would like to be involved; he first appeared in Let's Play SNAKE OIL. Over time, Sullivan took up NRB as his full-time job and later brought Brooke with him, and he and Dom brought in several other friends from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.
Notable moments[]
- In Let's Play NO THANKS, the cast decided that 'Sullivan' was no longer a name, but a role similar to a scapegoat for the group. The former Sullivan became the Bad Boy Bastard Beau Brown. Adam became the Sullivan for the day. Luckily for everyone's sanity, by the following episode we'd more or less forgotten this plan.
- In his early days of No Rolls Barred Plays Blood On The Clocktower, Sullivan was prone to giving his role away under the smallest amount of pressure. He eventually learned to keep his composure.
- While he was unable to record the BotC episode Everybody Loves Puppets due to being at the footy, Brooke replaced him with a puppet she created, Sock Puppet Sullivan. The puppet itself fell in love with Brooke, and Sullivan was given the moniker 'Flesh Sullivan'. In return, Sullivan created Sock Puppet Brooke.
- Let's Play COSMIC ENCOUNTER is a great episode for many of our cast. Sullivan was the bride race - able to marry and divorce the others without their consent. He went through Jon, Adam and Blair - each time betraying them and stealing half their cards.
- In Let's Play CHEESE THIEF, Sullivan was afflicted with terrible cheese blindness. Despite waking up after the cheese had been stolen, he completely failed to notice it was missing.
- Sullivan played the captain in Let's Play NEMESIS (Part 1) and Let's Play NEMESIS (Part 2) and was spectacularly bad - drunk, high, noisy and suspect. Adam eventually claimed Sullivan had taken the 3 worst Nemesis turns of all time.
- Let's Play FIASCO was a joy for the whole cast. Sullivan plays the only wholesome character and even he planned to take a vanload of cats over a cliff. Wonderful.
- In Let's Play CODENAMES II, Sullivan ended up clarifying and translating Brooke's world for the rest of the cast - peaking with his response to her claim that Ariel from The Little Mermaid is an underdog... "She's a PRINCESS!"
- The close friendship between Sullivan and Adam gave rise to a recurring joke that they were in love.
- Occasionally this resulted in negative consequences for the boys, as in Let's Play WESTERN LEGENDS when Brooke made it her mission to destroy both Adam and Sullivan. It's not all bad, though, it did give rise to one of Sullivan's greatest unhinged moments.
- Similarly, there's a running gag between Dom and Sullivan, which arrived fully formed with Dom's first appearance, Let's Play SABOTEUR. Dom claims to hate Sullivan and will actively work to sabotage him at every opportunity, even when they are on the same team. In fact Dom and Sullivan are old and good friends.
- Peak Sullivan may be the House Rules series - all of them, but Candy Land, BUT SOMEHOW WORSE is a particular highlight.
- In Let's Play BANK HEIST, Sullivan pulled off one of the all-time greatest character reveals in the 2nd game. Chef's kiss perfect.
