In Brett's debut on-screen appearance, only his hands were shown in a commercial for "Skipper's Seafood 'N Chowder House" fish-n-chips. Shortly after, he traveled to Zurich, Switzerland, where he introduced the "Fresh Start Laundry Detergent" campaign to German TV audiences. After studying at the Rational Theatre in Munich and appearing in over seventy-five commercials, including award-winning spots for "Kim Top Line," "Co-op," and "Gold Market" across Europe, Brett moved to Los Angeles to train under the acclaimed Harry Mastrogeorge.
Brett continued to build his career with recurring roles such as Atty. Joshua Sloane on "Sunset Beach" and the beloved Dr. Jay Garvin on "The Bold and the Beautiful." He portrayed Colonel James Mallory, USMC, a military attaché in the film "Operation Safeguard," produced exclusively for the U.S. military in the Middle East. Brett performed his first nude scene in the series "Red Shoe Diaries: Laundrymat" and played Dan Wisner in the Starz original series "Party Down." He also appeared as Robert Jones on FX's hit show "The Shield" and portrayed legendary explorer Frederick Albert Cook in Discovery Channel's "Race To The Poles."
Brett is widely recognized for his compelling and accurate portrayals of President John F. Kennedy. His initial portrayal in the 2009 film Watchmen left a lasting impression on Michael Bay, director of Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), who requested, "Get me the same guy who played Kennedy in Zack Snyder's movie." Ethel Kennedy herself praised Brett's depiction of the president. His third portrayal came in the film Kill the Dictator (2013), further boosting his national profile. However, it was in Tom Hanks’ historical drama Parkland (2013) — his fourth portrayal — that Brett had the opportunity to work alongside Oscar winners Billy Bob Thornton and Marcia Gay Harden, Oscar nominees Paul Giamatti, Jackie Earle Haley, and Jacki Weaver, as well as Zac Efron and Tom Welling.
A triple threat, Brett wrote, produced, and starred in the multiple-award-winning film "Ray Bradbury's Kaleidoscope," which inspired the Oscar-nominated movie "Gravity." He is currently in pre-production on his next feature film, where he will star as "The Champion." Passionate and dedicated, Brett also supports others through his roles as a trustee of the Olive Crest Abused Children's Foundation and as a supporter of Hollywood Heart, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, and the UNICEF Chinese Children's Foundation. "Hard work and following your dreams can take you anywhere. The person who says it can't be done shouldn't interrupt the person doing it," Brett says. (June 4, 2015)
