BRANDON COOK
BRANDON COOK
Born in Atlanta, Georgia. Based in New York.
From a very young age, Brandon knew he wanted to be someone. At first, his dream (like his best friend) was to be an engineer at his home-state-school of Georgia Tech. When he realized there were infinite types of engineers, he shifted his focus to something a bit more fitting; basketball.
Except with his stature (an exceptional 5’10) this dream died sooner than he would’ve liked. After forgetting his sneakers at home on the day of tryouts, he shifted his focus one last time- Theater.
Inspired by his sister, he took on the role of a lifetime- Frat Boy (and Callahan) in Legally Blonde. 9 years later and one long trip to Ohio, he has landed in New York and is ready to take on the industry.
He is a recent graduate of CCM’s prestigious Acting program, and took the stage in shows such as The Winter's Tale, Let The Right One In, Frankenstein, and the collegiate premiere of The Burials.
He was also a frequent collaborator of their Digital Media program, where he took part in projects like Feems' poison music video, which won a NATAS Ohio Valley Student Emmy (Music Video).
Since graduating, Brandon has been quick to start carving his own path. In February, he took on the role of Eli in the world premiere of Chris Ikner’s play Someone Else. He has since appeared on the Meet Me in the Monologue podcast to discuss his time with the show, with his episode premiering in August.
When he is not performing, he enjoys writing poetry, running (he just completed his first half marathon!), and annoying his mom and sister.
