Bryan Byrne

Born on 12/28/1976 in Arlington Heights IIl. After completing high school at Bradwell Institute in Hinesville Georgia, He went on to join the United States Marine Corps. After completing his time in the Marines he decided to follow his dream and entered into the career of law enforcement. He worked as a Corrections Officer at the Georgia State Prison which afforded him the training and ability to Move to Arizona to land a job with The Maricopa County Sheriff Office. He was able to experience many aspects of the Sheriff's Office such as a Bomb Technician and a SWAT Operator. He was also involved in Detectives and the Training Division as well. Being with the third largest county in the US, he also got his first chance to be in front of the camera for a TV show "Inside Edition" . He went on to be a part of many police based TV shows to include "Cops and Coyotes", "SWAT USA" and "AZ Lawman". This was the show where he was introduced to Steven Seagal. Steven and Bryan became friends and he afforded him the opportunity to join him and travel the world. During this time frame he was able to learn and be a part of the art of making a movie. He was afforded the opportunity to be a part of a movie with the movie " Cartels" directed by Keoni Waxman. He jumped at the chance and Steven played a huge role in showing him the ins and outs of acting. In the time with Steven he was exposed to two other movies as well. "Asian Connection" directed by Daniel Zirilli and "China Salesman" directed by Tan Bing. "Asian Connection" was a small role but a big learning experience. He was able to view the true magic of film making in the hands of the director (Daniel Zirilli). And witness the ability to be in a foreign land and to be able to assemble a crew and shoot a film successfully. The task of dealing with language and culture barriers while filming to him would be over whelming, but Daniel was able to do it flawlessly. "China Salesman" was his first role where he had dialogue but most importantly he was able to have a fight scene with The Champ Mike Tyson. That in its self was an experience of a lifetime. He grew up in the era of Iron Mike and it was an honor to be able to work let alone fight Mike Tyson. After his time with Steven he returned back to being a Police Officer but now in the beautiful State of Minnesota. He married the girl of his dreams (Taylor) and settled down in a lil rural town known as Perham, MN. He has two children (Katelyn and Jacob) that he loves and two lazy dogs (Luna and Emi). His days consist of hitting the local gyms such as Anytime Fitness Detroit Lakes or The PACC. If he is not at the gym you can find him relaxing at his home overlooking Big Pine Lake. Being a full time police officer has its stresses so its nice to be able to get away to follow his new passion of acting. He was recently called upon by Daniel Zirilli who he had the pleasure of working with on the set of "Asian Connection". Daniel had a role in mind for him and wanted him to come to LA to be a part of this project. He jumped at the chance and wasted no time booking a flight to Los Angeles. The movie is called " Hollow Point" and starred Luke Goss, Micheal Pare, Jay Mohr. Luke and Bryan had met a few years back on the set of "Cartels" and Luke was ecstatic to see Bryan still pursuing his new found passion for acting. Bryan says if it wasn't for the support of his family and his friends his new passion of acting would be more of a long lost dream than reality.
