Brad grew up in a large family, originally from New York, performing characters and doing imitations. With his distinctive accent and gregarious personality, Brad was often taken for a Native New Yorker, even though he was raised in Southern California.

Brad's acting career began when he was cast in a U.S.C. Film School Project, by then unknown, Director Luke Greenfield. At the screening of the film, Brad was approached by De Laurentiis Productions. He got his first big break, cast as the lead, in the film Pocket Ninjas (1997). Bookings in Commercials and TV soon followed, including a role as a Rapper at the age of 12, guest-starring with Raven Symone on "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" (1992).

As a High School Freshman, Brad's acting career was in high gear, but his Basketball Coach was not happy with the number of practices Brad missed for auditions. So he took a hiatus from show business until after high school and concentrated on playing Baseball and Basketball. Brad continued to entertain his classmates, to the dismay of his teachers, and was voted "Senior Wild Child" of the Graduating Class of 2001.

Inspired by the greats of the day Wu Tang Clan, Tupac and Biggie Smalls, Brad was constantly writing lyrics and rhymes. He was selected from hundreds of aspiring Rap Artists, for the MTV show, "Duets" and was flown to New York where cameras were with him 24/7 as they chronicled his work with Def Jam Recording Artist, Foxy Brown. Brad recorded a duet, "I Need A", under the guidance of producer Gavin Marchand and The Fox Five. MTV Duets set Brad's Rap career on the fast track. Known as, "bradley b", he is collaborating with Hip Hop Producers and recording with plans to tour. MTV and Brad go back a long way with appearances on shows such as Dismissed, which caused Rapper Snoop Dog to feature Brad on his Doggy Vizzle Televizzle show.

Making his comedic Feature Film debut in 2004, Brad was cast as "David" the uber jock, in Warner Bros Pictures, A Cinderella Story (2004), starring Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray. In the Feature Drama, Debating Robert Lee (2004), he is part of an ensemble teen cast, including Kaley Cuoco, planned for release in the Winter 2004.

After filming the Pilot episode, Brad has recurred on the new and critically acclaimed UPN drama, "Veronica Mars" (2004), created by Rob Thomas and produced by Joel Silver, starring Kristen Bell and Frances Capra.

Brad is active in charitable organizations such as "Ronald McDonald House", "The Make A Wish Foundation" and "Kids with a Cause". He admires the work of comedians like Bernie Mack and Cedric the Entertainer and says he learns something from every actor's performance. Brad is a sports fanatic and never misses an L.A. Laker game.
