Bryan Massey was born in Pontiac, Michigan but moved to Dallas, Texas
when he was just 7 years old. He began his illustrious acting career at
the tender age of 9 when he made the local paper by winning the 5th
grade talent show lip syncing to Steve Martin's "King Tut." At the age
of 13, Bryan showed an interest in cartooning and filmmaking, so his
Dad bought him a Super 8mm camera. Recruiting the neighborhood and his
family, Bryan would spend his weekend's shooting comedic action shorts
with his beloved camera. During high school, Bryan dropped out of
football because it conflicted with his theater schedule.
In college, Bryan had lead roles in several musicals, participated in
community theater, made several short movies with his buddies on
campus, and was a nationally ranked member of the cheer-leading squad.
After earning an Associate's Degree in Radio/Television, Bryan decided
to pursue his acting career and moved to Hollywood, where he got his
SAG card playing a Nazi on the X-Files. After spending 4 years in Los
Angeles Bryan returned home to Texas, working in local improvisation
troupes and continuing to write his own projects. With no local agent
he would later go on to get a stint on Prison Break, only after
crashing the audition!
He quickly went on to sign with a local agent and due to his unique
gruff voice, Bryan was able to participate in his love of cartoons by
doing voice over work for many anime shows and video games. Bryan has
booked several commercials and acted in many short films and
independents. Bryan has also been able to go onto more prolific roles
including playing Detective Brinkley, a cop in hot pursuit of Diane
Keaton and Ted Danson in "Mad Money", as Skeeter, an oil man friend to
Josh Brolin's portrayal of George W. Bush in Oliver Stones critically
acclaimed "W" and can also be seen in this summer's much anticipated
Judd Apatow comedy "Year One" starring Jack Black and Michael Cera,
coming to theaters June 19th.
