Brandon Taylor-Cotton

Queensland, Australia

Model, Actor, Musician, Dancer

I am an enthusiastic young adult, based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, who will let nothing stop me in reaching for my goals to become the next Australian Hollywood star. Although I am based in Queensland, I am willing to travel interstate for work. I love to act and perform, as well as having a love for sports. I have played basketball, football, soccer and athletics, and now study Taekwondo, in which I have achieved my Third Dan Black Belt. I am a reliable and passionate actor who will dedicate myself to any production that I am involved in.

I have played a variety of roles, from a stoned motorbike rider turned murder victim, to a hopelessly-in-love checkout guy, to a son spending his last moments with his family before the world comes to an end. I am always on the lookout for my next challenge and wish to experience the entire spectrum of film characters and genres that this exciting industry has to offer.
I have recently completed a One Day Stunt Action Course at the Australian Stunt Academy. I am both comfortable and competent when it comes to stunt performing.
