Personal life

The former child actor, now observant Scientologist, was born in Upland, California. He attended El Toro High School, graduating in 2001. Weeks later, with the help of his mother (who owned a talent management company) Fred III legally changed his first name to Bradley and moved to Los Angeles. At the age of 23, he began the pursuit of becoming a professional basketball player. In 2007, plans were changed after sustaining multiple injuries while playing at the college level. Cleared from his last serious basketball injury Brad started auditioning for acting roles again, eventually landing a lead role in the HBO, Cinemax television series Co-Ed Confidential. Largely influenced by music, Brad has produced and starred in his own internet videos since 2010.
