ADD QUOTES
- (on the types of roles he has played) Brendan: I like playing fish-out of-water guys. I imagine it's because growing up, my family moved around a lot, so I was always having to redefine myself in new places. Plus, I was a scrawny kid and I found I could avoid getting clobbered by joking myself out of tight spots. I try to bring that humor to roles.
  Edit Share Hide
- Brendan: I like maintaining a low profile. I'm of the belief that a little mystery goes a long way.
  Edit Share Hide
- Brendan: I seemed to often be the outsider. My family moved every few years and I was always the new kid, trying to fit in. As the new boy you had to learn how to assert yourself. Like an actor you had to constantly redefine yourself.
