Howland native has role in series

The son of a former Mahoning Valley rock musician has a recurring role on “Men of a Certain Age.” Braeden Lemasters, 13, of California, a son of David and Michele Lemasters, plays Albert, the son of the character played by Ray Romano.

David Lemasters was a guitarist in Left End, a very popular Youngstown rock band in the ’70s. David and Michele moved from Howland to California about seven years ago, when Braeden was 6. Braeden has done other television and film work, including appearances in “NCIS,” “Cold Case” and “Law & Order: SVU,” and the 2009 movie “The Stepfather.” Braeden’s grandparents are Carol Donnadio of Warren and Dave and Betty Lemasters of Howland.
