Aw shucks: "If you put a person on TV, even the ugliest person - and I don't think very many people are ugly at all - it's going to increase their sex appeal by 100 percent. It's all a bit sketchy."
When I have spare time: "I like to sleep, play Monopoly, golf and walk my dog."
My Monopoly addiction: "It's pretty hard-core. I bought regular, Millenium Edition, Marvel Comics, X-Men, NHL and NFL versions."
What flips my burger: "I'm not into eating in some fancy restaurant in Beverly Hills. I'd be content, you know, to just go into some greasy little hamburger shop and grab a burger."
My secret obsession: "I collect Spider-Man toys. Especially the 12-inch action figures. Plus I just bought two Spider-Man rings for $200 a piece."
Born in New Westminster, B.C., Brendan spent his early years playing sports and wanting to be an accountant when he grew up due to his love of numbers. In 1990, he moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba and, as he continued with his schooling, his career plans changed from numbers to teaching with very little thought to entering the world of film and television.
In his late teens, others took notice of his strong good looks, and he worked in Winnipeg doing some minor modeling for local catalogue companies. On a trip to Vancouver in the Fall of 1997 to visit his family, he decided to check out the local modeling scene. He approached his current management company in the hopes of landing some modeling work but they immediately noticed that he had much more potential for film and television. Within a week, he had landed a Guest Star role on Breaker High for UPN and the rest, as they say, is history.
After relocating to Vancouver, Brendan became a very active and sought after young actor. In addition to Breaker High, his credits for television include two different Co-Star's on Millenium for FOX; a Co-Star on the syndicated series Night Man; a Co-Star in the USA Network MOW Every Mother's Worst Fear; a Lead in the FOX Family Channel MOW Perfect Little Angels; a Guest Star on The New Addams Family also for FOX Family Channel; the Lead role of "Micheal" in the primetime dramatic series Roswell; and a Lead in the ABC MOW Our Guys opposite Eric Stoltz and Ally Sheedy.
Brendan's feature film credits include Disturbing Behavior for MGM, the lead role of "Eddy" in the independent feature Christina's House by hot up-and-coming Canadian director Gavin Wilding, a Co-Lead role in Final Destination opposite Devon Sawa for New Line Cinema, the Co-Lead in the independent feature Take My Life...Please with Selma Blair and Max Beesley, and a Lead in the Sony/Screen Gems feature The Forsaken opposite Kerr Smith.
Brendan has also appeared in various national commercial campaigns for companies such as "Shell Canada", "Champs Sports", and a major tie-in campaign with "Levi's" and "Roswell".
What he sees in his future: "More than anything, I want to just improve as a human being."
Heart ache: Brendan once got his heart broken by a girl at an Alanis Morrisette concert. They went out for about a month and he seriously thought she was 'the one' and that he was going to marry her. She said she liked him, but she wanted to see other people. So he said, he couldn't possibly do that... "Go nuts and date other people. But bye." Brendan states that it broke his heart and lasted about a month.
in his spare time: he sleeps a lot and bowls with friends
He terms himself a "smartass".
He almost passed on the role in Roswell because he thought it was too hokey, but after reading the script, he was hooked.
He is not a huge bar hopper.
The hot sauce in Roswell is actually V8 Berry Splash Juice.
He looks for personality, a sense of humor and religious morals in a girlfriend.
Brendan appeared in U2's "Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" Music Video.
He was nominated for a Saturn Award for 'Best Supporting Actor on Television in Roswell in 1999.
There are four meanings to the name "Brendan" from four different nationalities. In Celtic, it means "raven". In Gaelic, it means "brave". In German, it means "flame". In Irish, it means "prince", which originates from the well known Irish playwright and wit, Brendan Behan.
