Brennan Hillard
Brennan completed his first feature film, Dance Flick, which was directed by Damien Wayans. The movie is a spoof on musicals and Brennan was cast as one of the supporting actors, spoofing the High School Musical actor, Zac Efron. The movie is scheduled to be released on May 22, 2009.
Brennan was performing before he knew how to walk. His sister Michelle would bring the microphone to him and then turn on the music and let him sing. Brennan’s first public performance was one that he will always remember because it was for his sister’s wedding. Brennan surprised her with a song called Michelle’s Wedding, a song that was originally called Maria’s Wedding. Needless to say it brought tears to her eyes when he sang it for her.
Brennan joined a theatre group when he was seven and was immediately hooked on acting. His first play was The Grinch. Lead performances followed in Bye Bye Birdie, Cinderella, The Secret Garden, Urinetown, and Little Shop of Horrors.
In 2003 Brennan was nominated for an Arizoni Award for best supporting actor in The Secret Garden and in 2004 he received an Arizoni award for best actor in Cinderella. He received the National Youth Theatre award for best actor for his role as Seymour, for Little Shop of Horrors.
In 2003, auditions were being held in Los Angeles for American Juniors, a spin off of American Idol. Brennan was chosen out of thousands of performers in the United States to appear on the show. He performed “That Thing You Do” on national television as a semifinalist on the show. In addition, he has performed the National Anthem and Canadian Anthem for the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Phoenix Suns.
