Brian began acting in local theater productions and short films in his teens. He was best known in dinner theater for taking fall after fall, night after night.... good conditioning for being a tossed-about corpse.

"I died in the last film I was in 'False River', a screwdriver in my back and a face-first fall onto gas station linoleum. After that experience, I really wanted to do something different; so, this time it's an axe in my front and I fall back onto hard dirt.... I think that shows my range"

Henceforth on, Brian's goal is to die in every film he acts in because "it sure as hell beats dying in real life."
