With a name like Brando, you have few career options open to you except show biz. Born in 1986, he got his start in a recurring role on the teencom
Zoey 101(2006-2008), where his muscles were overshadowed by those of the regulars, and a starring role in
Do Not Disturb, which aired three episodes in the fall of 2008 before folding.
Lots of guest spots on tv series followed, with ample gay-friendly and buddy-bonding plotlines.
1. The gay-themed spoof
Queerantine (2009).
2. A footballer who is the son of a serial killer (and doesn't get a girlfriend) on
Dexter (2009-2011).
3. Best bud of a street racer in
Born to Race (2011).
4. The gay teen Griffin in
The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2009-2012), who is rather a stereotype, but at least he's not conflicted. He even gets a boyfriend, Peter (Kristopher Higgins). Unfortunately, after 22 episodes he vanished without a trace (Peter, too), leaving
Secret Life gay-free except for a lesbian mom plotline.
5. A footballer without a girlfriend in
Made in Jersey (2012).
In real life Brando is straight but not narrow, perfectly happy to address his gay fans.
