Brian Hallisay

Brian (on why people should watch "Privileged"): I think there's a really sharp biting comedic tone to this show. The writing is so smart, the characters are so well crafted and everybody really hits their mark. I think as the series goes on and we start to hit our stride. So I think if people were to tune in now, they'll really get a sense of what the show is about and hopefully like it.

Brian (on differences between being an actor and working on Wall Street): There is just something about it. It's a new adventure every day. Everyone is there because they want to be there, even the camera and the lighting guys. They enjoy what they do and they work hard. To be in a work atmosphere where people are doing what they enjoy makes life so much better than slaving away in an office and stressing out. With what is going on with the market now, I am feeling pretty good about my career move.

Brian (on becoming an actor): You know, I had always dreamed about seeing what acting was all about and television. So, I moved out to Los Angeles six years ago and gave it a shot. I got the bug and it stuck.
