Brian was working as a production assistant on the 1984 film "Footloose" when he landed a small part in the movie and found himself hooked. His first leading role, was in the ABC Movie of the Week "What Price Victory?", in which he portrayed an illiterate football player who gets into a good school based on his athletic abilities alone, this part led to Brian being offered a role on "China Beach."
Brian has since starred in many movies since "China Beach", including the romantic favorite, "Late for Dinner." He gained a new following recently with his lead role on "Flipper - The New Adventures" syndicated series. As well as starring as Dr. Keith Ricks in the show, Brian also directed an episode of Flipper called "Monkey Island". He hopes to bring one of his many screenplays to audiences in the future.
