Meet Mekhi Phifer Brother Fernando Cameron
Mekhi Phifer’s twin brother is Fernando Phifer, Cameroon. The twins, born on December 29, 1974, grew up together in New York City. Both Phifers appreciated their mother for being a no-nonsense parent despite being a single mother.
While Mekhi made his acting debut in the TV movie ‘The Tuskegee Airmen,’ Fernando had to wait until 2000 to make his debut in the TV movie ‘Disappearing Acts.’ Fernando starred in another short film, ‘Sheet,’ in 2016.
While most details of Fernando’s life are unclear, it is apparent that the Phifer family specializes in acting and is full of acting hormones. Fernando also worked as a production designer on another short film, ‘Camp Victory.’
Fernando and Mekhi were close initially, but we don’t see these two brothers hanging together on Mekhi’s social media accounts. Fernando is largely absent from all social media networks, owing to his low profile and lack of desire to be active on these platforms.
