Having a powerful and distinctive voice, he is recognized for the role of Assistant District Attorney Tom Dubois and Colonel H.

Additionally, Yarbrough is proud to be a part of the long-running sensation “The Black Version,” an improvised show that started at the Groundlings Theatre in 2010. The audience suggests a popular film title and then the cast improvises the “black version” of that film. The LA Times calls this show “A Winner” and Rolling Stone calls it a “Comedic A-Team.”
Yarbrough resides in Los Angeles.
