Les Brandt:

Q. What do you find inspiration in?

A. Helping other people/animals in need. The response that is felt after one has had difficulty beyond their imagination lifted up and away from them is DEEP. I read, “One with all beings and possibilities, I am moved to serve others, KNOWING, that in the ONE, they are none other than myself.” -Wu Wei, Chinese Master

Q. What drives you to work, create, to act, to reach out?

A. Definitely, its having the possibility of making some laugh! To laugh, in my opinion is a very magical way to learn how to love someone or oneself.


Q. What moment (or moments) were pivotal in making you who you are today?

A. Moments of seeing my mother and father struggle throughout their entire lives but NEVER giving up. My father was physically THE strongest man I’ve ever known and my mother continues to have the most divine wisdom and exacting intuition. I’ve learned that after seeing my father pass on that NO ONE can take
what is truly one’s own. I will never give up on myself or my dreams.


Q. What do you love about what you do and why?

A. How my creative thoughts/choices, ideas or actions as an actor can “move” someone emotionally, mentally or even physically. To be able to influence direction of society and its beliefs or nonbelievers.

Q. Who is Les Brandt and what is his message/mission?

A. Someone who loves to LOVE in all aspects of the emotion. My message would be to encourage all to pursue the gift of LOVE in how to receive it as well as how important it is to share it.












Q. What is your greatest accomplishment so far?

A. The relationships that I have made and maintained throughout my life.

Q. What would you change about your work/or life if you could?

A. My life could use more traveling and recreational time with family. That would require more work and earned income. I would like to be more pro active in producing projects that I am passionate about and not waiting for a project to come along.


Q. What are some projects you’re working on at this time?

A. I have one of my pieces from my clothing line, Brandt Skinz, Inc. on exhibit at The University of Florida (Gators) since June 2007 that will be on a North American tour for the next few years.
I am connected to a film project that is coming out of a 6 month option next month that has tremendous potential. I may be doing a play here in Hollywood next month that I am reading for now. It’s slow time for acting right now but I am maintaining. I thank GOD, daily.
