Brandon Lynn Facts
- Brandon made his stage debut at the age of 10 in the role of Mr. Smee in the musical production of Peter Pan. However, it was less than a memorable performance as he hadn’t memorized his lines and hiccupped while on stage.
- Before he became an established actor, he used to work as a waiter at a Shorty’s Barbecue joint in Miami for some financial assistance.
- He has followed the lead of his 13 Reasons Why costars Alisha Boe and Tommy Dorfman and executive producer Selena Gomez in getting a semi-colon inked on his wrist in support of Project Semi-colon, which works to discourage suicide.
- He is so close to his 13 Reasons Why costar Miles Heizer that some fans are often misled into believing that they are in a relationship.
- He had to endure a lot of bullying, especially in middle school as the other kids thought the acting was a bit feminine profession. Also, the fact that he was chunky made things difficult for him.
- To deal with bullying, he relied on self-medication, which bordered to prescribed drug abuse. He also did a lot of drugs to alter the perception of who he was.
I love you Brandon Flynn
