Born and raised in the small town of Cooper in deep East Texas, Brandon knew from an early age he wanted to entertain. He told his mother at the age of 5 he wanted to "act in the movies," and his parents supported him every step of the way. His mother, Brenda, would even let him stay home from school once every year - the day after the Academy Awards, as he stayed up late to watch. He participated in his high school One Act Play for 3 of his 4 years there, which was when he really started to fall in love with the craft. He formed a close bond with his One Act Play coach and credits her for being a crucial factor to why he started to believe that he, an average small town kid, could truly make this dream a reality, if he was only willing to work for it.
At 19, he put that work into motion. Moving to LA on his own. A big step for the small town kid, but a necessary one that would teach invaluable lessons. He studied at Playhouse West, the same studio the likes of James Franco, Jeff Goldblum, Scott Caan and many others had trained before him. He was introduced to the Meisner technique and a new obsession began to take hold. Studying in the same class as Brandon was McCaul Lombardi(Sollers Point, American Honey) and the two struck up conversation and began rehearsing outside of class together, even working on a short film in their free time to stay busy.
Eventually, Texas called back to him and he returned. He was picked up quickly by The Campbell Agency in Dallas, where he has been steadily working and building his resume.
