Biography
Brendan stumbled upon acting by accident at 8 years of age, when he found himself cast in a commercial after being noticed while waiting for his sister. Then when a coffee urn fell on his head and burnt him on set at 16, he was convinced it was a sign from the gods and promptly enrolled in theatre and media studies at Charles Sturt University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts.
Brendan's most memorable role to date has been as Tom in the critically acclaimed television series, Love My Way, for which he was nominated for the 2005 TV Week Silver Logie for Most Outstanding Actor in a Drama series. He is also an accomplished stage performer, appearing in a number of Sydney Theatre Company productions including Dissident, Goes Without Saying (directed by Andrew Upton), Far Away (directed by Benedict Andrews) and The Shape of Things (directed by Jeremy Sims).
Other film credits include 2003's Deck Dogz, To End All Wars, which starred Robert Carlyle and Kiefer Sutherland, and Samantha Lang's The Monkey's Mask, which was released in 1999.
Noise is Brendan's first leading film role.
