Brian Trim's Modeling Jobs, Acting Auditions and Additional Experience

About Me: "You (Brian) made me laugh and cry real tears within a matter of minutes. You have a talent that is rare. You should return to the States and pursue roles in films, for you have a unique quality that is very rare and could one day become a great star."
Madame Pierre Lacaze
Directrice Emeritus
Theatre Comedia Francaise,
Paris, France 1986


Description:
In the words of various prestigious International Theatre & Film Directors, who have described me as: "Talented; passionate; charismatic, hard-working; determined; disciplined; confident; tough; funny; caring; giving; romantic; Love the Leading Ladies; Great sense of Humor; unique infectious laugh, Live life to its fullest; a leader; gallant; cool; classic; protector; often play the hero; possess certain STAR-LIKE quality" -so they say, as well as, "versatile and can play multiple type of roles and most accents with minimal coaching; move very well and dance with passion; possess a very strong presence - so "they" say... I've been athletic throughout my life; most often have played the Leading Man; Great Fighter for Stage Combat; Professional stylized Choreographer for individuals and large group scenes; can play supporting and Character roles; Sing well and prefer moving renditions of jazz standards and Motown classics with a compelling and unique singing style/voice; My characters have always had an engaging quality and have always received praise from the critics even if the production didn't.; BTW, I have never taken a Dale Carnegie course ;-).

I delayed pursuing my film career in earnest until now so as to be able raise my son to adulthood, alone. I will work endlessly to contribute to the success of any film project I am involved with.

"They" say that I am a cross between: McQueen, Redford, Connery, DeNiro, Bogart, Eastwood, and Jimmy Stewart - go figure.

Brian is one of the best actors to ever come to my College"
