The talented American actor Brandon Flynn managed to star in only three series, but has already gained wide popularity among the youth audience.
Playing the role of the captain of the school basketball team, along with classmates of the girl who was responsible for the suicide of Hannah, Brandon was able to realistically convey the boy’s feelings and fear. After considerable success, it was decided to continue the story: the premiere of the second part of the series has already taken place and work on the third part is actively ongoing.
The handsome young actor Brandon Flynn became famous for playing one of the leading roles in the series 13 Reasons Why. The role of the arrogant leader of the basketball team, Justin Foley, was successful for Brandon and after the release of the series, he became the favorite of American youth.
Childhood
Brandon was born in October 1993 in Miami, one of the warmest states of the United States. In addition to his son, the family of Debbie and Michael Flynn has two more daughters, with whom the actor has always been very friendly.
The first role went to Brandon in elementary school, in a children's play about the adventures of Peter Pan. At first, the boy was very shy to go on stage and refused to take part in the production. His friends persuaded him, and did not regret it. It was from the first role in a funny children's play that it became clear that the boy had a rather big acting talent, which needed to be developed. The teacher recommended giving Brandon to elective acting classes.
Of course, at first the restless boy did not want to study dramatic art at all and he resisted in every way. Parents with great difficulty managed to persuade Brandon to try at least a year. During this time, the young man literally fell in love with drama, became a big fan of Shakespeare's work and no longer imagined his future career off-stage.
First creative steps
After graduation, Brandon decided to leave for London. There he managed to work on the stage of the world famous Globus Theater. And this experience further convinced the young man of the desire to begin work as an actor.
A year later, Brandon returned to the United States and was able to enter one of the most prestigious acting schools in Miami without problems. He continued his studies with a bachelor of fine arts from the Mason Gross School of Art at the University of New Jersey.
Carier start
While still a student, Brandon took part in many auditions and auditions. Unfortunately, the aspiring actor received only episodic roles in extras and appeared in commercials several times.
Brandon played his first role in a real movie when he was 23 years old when he was offered to shoot in the series Braindead (Brainless). This fantastic story with elements of political satire was not very popular with the audience and after the release of the first season, work on the series was discontinued.
After that, Brandon worked on the set of the short film "Home Movies", which also starred the popular actor Miles Heiser.
Along with attempts to act in films, Brandon played in several theaters in Manhattan, taking part in such popular productions as "Kid Victory" and "The Crucible".
Long-awaited success
In 2017, the series “13 Reasons Why, ” based on the novel by the talented writer Jay Asher, was released. The story of the tragic suicide of schoolgirl Hannah Baker, whose role was played by the charismatic actress Katherine Langford, pleased the young American audience.
In the course of events, it turns out that the girl committed suicide for a reason. To talk about who and what pushed her to such a terrible step, she sent 13 audio cassettes before her death, on which she recorded her confession. The persons involved in the drama should listen to the recordings and transmit them to each other according to the list compiled by Hannah. If these rules are violated by any of the perpetrators, the girl’s friends will hand over the records to the police.
Brandon's character, the captain of the school basketball team, is also being accused of Hannah's death. Once the guy offended Hannah and is now deeply worried, keenly feeling his guilt. Despite the fact that the hero of Brennon is a guy with a poor past and a hard character, remorse and regret about what happened are not alien to him.
In an interview that Brandon Flynn gave after the release of the series, the young man admitted that he was not indifferent to the problems raised in the tape. He said that several of his friends also decided to take their own lives and this deeply traumatized the young man. He is confident that his play in the series makes a feasible contribution to the prevention of suicide among adolescents.
New projects
The series "13 Reasons Why" became very popular among American students, so the leadership of the Netflix channel decided to shoot the second and third parts of the story. The second part, in which participants talk about their role in the tragic event in the courtroom, is already devoid of psychological intrigue. However, viewers were not less interested in following the fate of their favorite characters. The premiere of the second season took place in May 2018, and already in August work began on the third part of the saga.
In addition to this role, in 2018, Brandon began work in the third season of the popular series "True Detective", where he will play in one of the main roles.
