ABOUT THE ACTOR: Brian Banowetz
Brian trained with leading film acting and theater
instructors while completing a degree at University of
Southern California. Through acting in the film Copycat
(1995), he is Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) eligible making
him all the more ready for bigger pursuits in the industry.
A passion for acting began early for Brian as he performed in
school/community theater productions (The Curious Savage,
Canterbury Tales) as well as, all along in little
"negotiation skits" with eight siblings and strict parents
while growing up on an Iowa dairy farm. Striving to do
more acting, Brian began working in Los Angeles, and later,
various locations in Asia. The past +10 years have enabled
him to build a resume which now includes a USA .debut. of
sorts on TV (Night Court w/ Harry Anderson), feature film
projects (Gen-Y Cops (2000) w/ Paul Rudd), (Naked Weapon
(2002) w/ Daniel Wu 吴彦祖), TV commercials (Kelloggs, KFC, etc.),
and numerous voice-over projects. To complement his
abilities and strengthen his focus on film acting, Brian's
pursuit of becoming "well-rounded" has led him to weave in
a splintering array of life experience including: global
travel, military (rank of Army Sergeant - CANG), and
university study in Japanese Language (proficient) and
International Relations (BA).
For Brian, working as an actor has truly emerged as his
life calling. It is a pursuit in which he says he feels at
"home" in doing so; and therefore able to be "all of
himself". He concludes, "There is no greater feeling than
to be able to do what makes you feel alive, wanted, and
happily inspired - all while helping other people become
moved and entertained through the work-of-art that
results."
"Let us endeavor to help each other live our best
life by each of us contributing our best in all that we
do."
