American Actor, Comedian & Award-Winning Producer Brian Swinehart
Brian Swinehart is an American actor, writer, stand-up comedian, and award winning producer.
It was through a mutual friend, Jay Davis who I was first introduced to Brian at one of his stand up routines at The Laugh Factory on Sunset and reached out to him the next day to see if he wanted to shoot.
We shot throughout the morning and all I can say about this guy, is that the amount of success he has had and continues to do so - he is one of the most humblest and genuine guys I have had the pleasure to meet and work with. A true gent and professional.
For those who aren't familiar with his work; below is just a short capture of some of his work to date:
It was 2000, Brian left his home state of Ohio to relocate to California to pursue his acting and stand-up comedy act.
After months of hard-work, it all began to pay off for Brain when he begun to get stand-up comedy bookings all over the United States!
At the same time Brian was also booking parts in independent movies and building a strong acting resume.
Brian had studied with some of the best acting teachers and acting schools in Hollywood.
In 2009 his training was about to get even deeper when he got a job as the stand-in for Matthew Mcconaughey in the movie Lincoln Lawyer. On the set of Lincoln Lawyer Brian watched Matthew closely, read lines with him and threw a football with him at lunch. Brian worked on a Mccongnahey impression which many people consider to be the best Mcconaughey impression out there today.
In 2012 Brian was in the movie about last night where he got to work with Steve Pink a director Brian greatly admires Swinehart was in several scenes playing Kevin Hart's co-worker.
In 2013 Brian booked a role in the TV Pilot Broken Dreams where he acted with academy award nominee Danny Aielo.
In 2014 after the passing of Paul Walker Brian was hired to be a stand-in and hand double for Paul's character. Whose character name was coincidentally Brian.
In 2015 Brian stood in for Josh Holloway on the TV show Colony and was in two national commercials one of which played during the Super Bowl.
In 2016 Brian headlined a national comedy tour and wrote a script called Rehabbers which he co-wrote with Alex Nahon.
There is no stopping this guy!
