Biografi
Brandon is a 22-year-old entrepreneur, actor, and model who has spent the past decade mastering his craft. Since eight years old, he's been working in the industry, finding his early footing through modeling. He was inspired by block-buster films like Spider-Man 2, and longed to deliver performances like the actors he saw on the big-screen. Growing up with a single mother, his positive male role models were the heroes he saw in films and television. He hopes in the future he will make a similar positive impact on others with his work. Brandon's a bilingual actor, his first language being Portuguese. His mother originated from the Azores, so respect, kindness, and hospitality were ingrained in him from an early age. He's also extremely athletic, playing various different sports such as hockey, basketball, and soccer. But nothing has captured his attention the way film has, and he was determined to pursue this art form, joining theater programs and entering in acting conventions at the age of ten. He's traveled to Orlando, FL and Hollywood, CA for multiple shows in front of corporate agencies. He's always been inspired by film culture, and it has since become an integral part of his personal development. He loves to perform and create, providing others happiness and joy from his content. As he grew, he began to write his own material and enjoyed the freedom of creativity in telling his own stories. Although he comes from simple means, he has always worked hard for and loved the process throughout. Writing his first screenplay on a typewriter because he couldn't afford a computer at the time, he learned to work with what he had. When he began, he was also extremely overweight for his 5'0 ft stature, but he still strived for leading man roles. So he went from 200 lbs to 120 lbs over a summer at twelve years old. He's a hard working and disciplined individual, and that's the reputation he has among his peers and coaches. By his teen years, he studied privately under off-broadway director Alessio Cappelletti, and also went to John Robert Powers acting school. While becoming extremely popular on the social media app called Vine, he worked alongside Lumeo. The team at Lumeo taught him valuable skills about social media management that he still uses today. Through his acting training he auditioned for some big productions such as Spider-Man in "Captain America: Civil War." Agents were extremely impressed with his performance, going as far as to give Brandon a personal call from Caroyln Pickman from CP Casting suggesting that he audition for another film called "Twentieth Century Woman." He's even auditioned for Broadway, for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. He's learned about the power and responsibility of the art form, and how it can impact others. He has since fallen in love with portraying the truth of the moment in the scenes he's in, seeking honesty from his performances rather than just pure entertainment value. He's found great worth in the Meisner technique and Stella Adler, allowing him to follow this new discovery. He's been the lead of various short films, while attending acting classes. Brandon constantly auditioned for Boston Casting and Model Club Inc, but inevitably by the age of eighteen, he decided to take on his own fan made web-series: "Spider-Man and the Monsters Of Manhattan." Directing, co-writing, and leading in his project was no easy task, but he never gave up hope on creating something he could be proud of. While finding growth as a person and his network from the exposure of the project, he's acted and directed many established actors and influencers in the industry including Jamie Costa, Kevin Porter, and William Shewfelt. Now at the age of 22, standing 6'0 ft and fit, Brandon will be leading an upcoming film franchise: "Take Me To Banaue," while working alongside various working professionals in the industry. He aspires to be a Ben Affleck or Chris Evans-type leading man. He's a producer, writer, actor/model currently based out of Boston MA, and uses the city as his personal hub to meet and network with like-minded individuals in the industry. He's on a journey of creating meaningful stories in hopes of making a positive impact on others.
