About Brian

I'm an award-winning New England radio personality, spanning many different formats in large to major markets for three-decades. In association with my broadcast career, I have subsequently created, executive produced and hosted two different podcasts from March of 2019. Additionally, I've written comedy for three separate years on "The MTV Movie Awards," a nationally-syndicated comedy game show, and alongside the legendary Phil Hartman for the final six-years of his life. Phil's biography was optioned to me by its author, and I have since completed that screenplay. I got my start in television as a freelance monologue writer for Jay Leno's (then) hosting fill-ins on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson." I also co-wrote the special features segments on the "Friends" DVD releases, which led to an appearance as an extra on the set of Central Perk. I recently wrote my first play ("The Butterfly Boys"/to be staged in 2023), in which I will be playing the lead.

"You Might Remember Me: The Life and Times of Phil Hartman" Budget: $30M+ | Biography Phil Hartman was "The Man of a Thousand Voices," who hid behind characters to an extent which made it difficult for anyone to know who he truly was. The only thing he didn't do well was relationships, and that eventually proved to be his ultimate downfall.
