Brian is one of the founding members of Brian and Benn’s Movie Corner and its MP3 weekly talk show. He has numerous credits in stage and screen. Originally from Pasadena, Texas, and an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, Brian made his podcasting debut with Benn on May 2, 2006, with the premier of Brian and Benn’s MP3 Movie Talk Show.
While Brian has been a fan of movies all of his life, he didn’t get into the arts until the mid 20′s. Brian played sports most of his childhood. Even in a fifth grade “play,” he was a baseball coach. After high school, Brian attended the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colo. and studied civil engineering. With an illness, he left Mines and resumed studies at Pikes peak Communtiy College. There, he was cast in a PPCC Masquers production of Moliere’s “The Miser.” Over the next 10 years, he worked on stage or back stage of almost 15 productions.
While working in theatre, Brian met Benn Farrell, took a liking to his quirky ways and wanted to help produce his movies, and be in them if possible. After a 10-year friendship, Brian looks forward to the continued success of their weekly podcast. Some of Brian’s other stage credits include “Da” with the Masquers at PPCC in Colorado Springs, “Inherit the Wind” with the Star Bar Players, “She Stoops to Conquer” with Theatreworks and “The Trip to Bountiful,” “Prelude to a Kiss” and “The Elephant Man” with the Upstart Performing Ensemble.
In addition, Brian has appeared in several of DockRat Entertainment’s video motion pictures including “Na Fen Liom” and “Between Friends.” Behind the scenes, the Texas native has served as a production stage manager for several stage works. He also holds an associates degree in general studies, with an emphasis on political science and theatre, as well as a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.
“Schindler’s List,” “Patton” and “The Naked Gun” are among some of Brian’s favorite films, while his least favorite include “Farenheit 9-11″ and “The Pillow Book.” He feels, if BBMC was made into a biopic, Jack Black would be cast in his role.
