Brandon Kessel

Brandon was born in Meriden, Connecticut on April Fool's Day, 1982. From there his family moved to New Paltz, New York, where he lived out his young childhood. He started acting in children's theatre and eventually got an agent in New York City. That's about the time his family made its way across country to San Antonio, Texas, to open their own work out gym. Again, Brandon got an agent in his new home town and started attending as many acting classes as possible. Then in April of 1998 there was an Actors expo in Houston, where he met up with his manager Dino May. At 16 Brandon made his way out to LA where he was cast in many movies and televisions shows. His first break came when he was cast in the short lived show "Snoops" playing a shady choir boy. He was most recently seen in Life as a House (2001). Brandon was diagnosed with Bipolar Illness in 2001 and in 2005, at the age of 23 took his own life.
