I mean, I've grown up watching the BAFTAs. Someone like Kaluuya has won the Rising Star Award and that's like one of my dreams is to even just be nominated. Hopefully this is taking the right steps for that. Just to be guided by this program, I know they've guided incredible artists. I look up to those people, they got some pretty cool careers.

Born and raised in Chicago, Brandon’s journey began when he became the world’s youngest professional jamskater (i.e. breakdancing on roller skates). He quickly decided to leave home and move to California at the age of 16 in pursuit of his numerous dreams. Brandon found success in Hollywood when he joined the acclaimed Netflix series, The OA (2016). Brandon’s Breakthrough project was starring in Jordan Peele’s critically-lauded film, NOPE (2022) as Angel Torres opposite Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, and Steven Yeun.  

Brandon, who is proudly half Puerto Rican and half Filipino, currently resides in Los Angeles. When he’s not on set, you will find Brandon enjoying time with family and friends, breakdancing, boxing, tricking (freestyle flipping), martial arts, BMX biking, and rock climbing.
