Brian started off in small roles in shows some people wouldn't have heard of or recall, such as in Over My Dead Body where he played an actor who was doing some shadowing for a role he wanted to play. To me he become affectionately known as the 'bartender.' Well it's a private joke of sorts not many will get!
With his gorgeous blue eyes and handsome features he carved a niche for himself, appearing in TV series including all three CSI shows and he was one of the first actors to do so. Melrose Place, Law and Order: SUV. His roles have been varied and has portrayed bad guy roles many actors would shy away from, including the obligatory baring his all in Oz. Oh you know what I mean by that!
On his eyes he commented, "The first thing I think about when I think about my eyes is that they're better than 20/20 and they can see. The last thing would be the color."

Brian was one of those iconic child actors, appearing in Once Upon A Time in America, who made the transition to an adult star, cos it wasn't all about looks but a genuine ability to show a rare on-screen presence. I loved him in his guest role in Beauty and the Beast, where he was, yes a bad guy, but he was so vain and so sure of himself that it didn't matter what his character was like. He was still alluring! Bad guys usually are, but not in real life of course.
He once said he wasn't interested in being seen as a hunk, but to be taken seriously and to me, he has achieved that in so many of the parts he's played. His modesty is admirable, but yeah he is hot and totally cool at the same time. He was co-writer on The A Team movie. Though it had a mixed reception, it was great to see him have a hand behind the scenes too, so to speak. Brian will always be my kinda guy!
Okay now that is one seriously HOT HOT HOT man!
ReplyDeleteHe really should be on television more often...well, all the time!
If you get to see season one of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, hes in an episode playing a Terminator - it should be on 5* fairly soon.
