Brendan Bradley Deep Dives for the Part

About this episode

Brendan Bradley discusses his fitness journey, identity challenges, and the importance of journaling.

Actor Brendan Bradley, with over 100 credits in movies, TV shows, video games, and commercials — including 9-1-1, NCIS, & Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas — talks with Sebastian about his swimming practice, how getting ultra-ripped challenged his self-identity, and why journaling has become an essential activity for him.  He goes in-depth into how he changed his fitness routine to get into character as the lead of the film The Devil and the Daylong Brothers, and what restrictions he had to abide by when he was the spokesperson for Staples. Plus, he describes the powerful experience he had while walking the Camino de Santiago. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
