Each day you will assume the role of one of the 20 characters which include a record label owner, a movie director, a radio host, a stuntman, a playboy, a flight attendant and many more. Each life is connected, so the decision you make today has consequences on your next life. Log onto www.nokia.com/20Lives to register now.

(03/26/05) : It’s my understanding that the independent film "Rave On" written and produced by Hollywood veteran Jay Ingram and directed by Denny Albee will be due for release on DVD in late 2005. Brandon played a supporting role (as Kayrow) in the film.

(03/19/05) : A few online sources seem to suggest that the HBO film “The Ballad of Bettie Page” has changed its title to “The Notorious Bettie Page.” Brandon has a supporting role in the feature film produced by HBO/Killer Films and directed by Mary Harron. The film also stars Gretchen Mol and Lili Taylor; Fine Line Features will release the film theatrically later in 2005.
