Brendan Bradley

Recognized internationally as the "Staples Guy" national spokesperson and for over 100 digital shorts and sketches as "the nicest douchebag on the internet" (Hypable.com), native North Carolinian 'Brendan Bradley' (qv) began performing and producing theater as a teenager. While attending New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Brendan produced over a dozen original, Off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway plays and musicals. He also studied at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London before moving to Los Angeles to develop his own digital content.Combining all the best and workable elements of off-Broadway theater with micro-budget filmmaking, Brendan discovered that content produced online had the potential to reach an exponentially larger audience than a black box theater or film festival. He began developing short videos for advertisers on YouTube which provided him with the resources to create his first long-form series called 'Squatters', which was picked up as Daily Motion's first original comedy, won dozens of awards and coined "the best indie comedy on the web" by Tubefilter 'News' (qv). Brendan continued Squatters as a comedy podcast with his co-star, Erik Scott Smith, on the Toad Hop Network, broadcast from The Jon Lovitz Theater.Offline, Brendan has appeared in over 50 traditional television and film projects, across multiple networks and film festivals worldwide, including Sundance, SXSW and Methodfest. He enjoyed a 3 year campaign as the national spokesperson for Staples, appearing in over 50 television and radio commercials. A recent guest stint on CBS's 'Elementary' saw Brendan playing the unusual role - 3 actually - as multiple doppelgangers, one which required him to learn and speak German.Brendan wrote and directed his first feature, Non-Transferable, through a unique partnership with the Turkish Tourism Board to host his cast and crew across 3 continents. He recently completed directing and producing the dramatic, sci-fi series SONA, for which he built a spaceship in a one bedroom apartment.::HollyWords Publicity Group [ca]
