Brendan is an Australian actor, writer and filmmaker born and raised in Canberra. He discovered his love of performance in high school and pursued formal training at Perform Australia (formerly Canberra Academy of Dramatic Art), graduating with an Advanced Diploma in Performance in 2014.

After further study in film at university, Brendan shifted his focus toward screen storytelling, uncovering a strong voice as a writer and creator. Through his independent company, This Looks Alright Films, he began producing original short films that explored offbeat questions and darkly comedic narratives. His short DYING ART earned him Best Director and Best Screenplay at Canberra’s Short Film Festival and went on to win Best Film at multiple festivals around Australia.

Leaning further into genre storytelling, Brendan co-founded Horrific Playground, producing horror-based shorts that reflect his growing fascination with the genre.

As an actor, Brendan’s screen credits include roles in Broken Pieces (2025), The Furies (2019), Me and My Mates Vs the Zombie Apocalypse (2015), as well as roles in numerous short films. In 2024 he performed his debut feature lead role as Patrick Flynn in Break A Leg, directed by award-winning artist and long-time creative collaborator Kaitlyn Boyé.

On stage, Brendan has delivered dynamic performances in productions including The Woman in Black, Bloody Murder, and Noises Off. Most recently, he collaborated with Bare Witness Theatre founder and movement artist Christopher Carroll to devise the original theatre production I Have No Enemies, which toured to Melbourne in April 2024.

Brendan is represented by Campos Talent Management in Australia and SiDonald in the UK.
