Bryan Byrne(II)
- Actor
Born in Arlington Heights IIl raised in South Georgia. After completing high school at Bradwell Institute in Hinesville Georgia, he went on to join the United States Marine Corps. After completing his time in the Marines he decided to follow his dream and entered into the career of law enforcement. He worked as a Corrections Officer at the Georgia State Prison which afforded him the training and ability to move to Arizona to land a job with The Maricopa County Sheriff Office.
He was able to experience many aspects of the Sheriff's Office such as a Bomb Technician and a SWAT Operator. He was also involved in Detectives and the Training Division. Being with the third largest county in the US, he also got his first chance to be in front of the camera for a TV show "Inside Edition". He went on to be a part of many police based TV shows to include; Cops and Coyotes, SWAT USA, and AZ Lawman. This was the show where he was introduced to Steven Seagal.
Steven and Bryan became friends and he afforded him the opportunity to join him and travel the world. During this time frame he was able to learn and be a part of the art of making a movie. He was had the opportunity to be a part of the Cartels, directed by Keoni Waxman. He jumped at the chance and Steven played a huge role in showing him the ins and outs of acting. In the time with Steven he was exposed to two other movies as well. Asian Connection directed by Daniel Zirilli and China Salesman directed by Tan Bing.
Asian Connection was a small role with a big learning experience. He was able to view the true magic of film making in the hands of the director (Daniel Zirilli) in a foreign land and to be able to assemble a crew and shoot a film successfully. The task of dealing with language and culture barriers while filming to him would be overwhelming, but Daniel was able to do it flawlessly.
China Salesman was his first role where he had dialogue but most importantly he was able to have a fight scene with The Champ Mike Tyson. That in its self was an experience of a lifetime. He grew up in the era of Iron Mike and it was an honor to be able to work let alone fight Mike Tyson.
Bryan says if it wasn't for the support of his family and his friends his new passion of acting would be more of a long lost dream than reality.
