Brendan Byrne grew up in Sydney, NSW, Australia, with an Aunty, Grand Mother and Sister who were always acting in theatre, so, it was no wonder Brendan was destined to become an actor also... It's in his blood...However, Brendan was a fairly late starter in the acting industry and didn't get involved until he was 22. He started out as an extra on TV Shows, such has 'Headlands', 'Home and Away', and various commercials before finding he had a natural talent for acting and didn't want to be in the background anymore. He quickly delved head first into his new found lifestyle of filmmaking and acting.He is now 33 and has proven himself to be an up and coming artist, with more than 20 films under his belt. He has continued to impress audiences with his array of method acting skills in roles such as a hitman in the short film 'Bleeding Backs', three lead roles in feature films (among other things), from the lead detective in a mysterious murder case in 'The Navigator', to the desolate father who is grieving his dead wife and daughter in 'Blind Justice' but none more noticeably than the Aussie Outback Horror film 'There's Something In The Pilliga' where his character 'Jay' was described as the love child of 'Chopper Reed' and 'Mick Taylor'.Brendan believes that, in order to get noticed as an actor, you need product, and there just wasn't enough product going around, so, he decided to create his own. Brendan developed his own company called 'Shadow Wolves Productions' and has since written, acted, and produced his own feature films, and also helped produce 'Death's Waiting Room', and his sister's film 'Phoenix Rising' which are both set to be released later this year.Brendan truly is an asset to any production, on and off the camera, Brendan's keen eye for detail and wanting the best out of himself and his peers is what motivates others on a film set. Having Directed indie films himself, he knows how to talk to other directors and also to other actors, therefore also knows how to listen and interpret other directors, he believes to be a good leader you also need to be a good follower, and Brendan can do both.
