Brad Hampton - long bio* 

Brad has been working as an actor for over twenty years.

He began his career in Calgary, as an apprentice at the Lunchbox Theatre. It was in Theatre Calgary’s production of "Amadeus" where Brad - in the illustrious role of Various - met Rae Ellen Bodie, Cook.

After many wonderful years of work in Calgary (Alberta Theatre Projects, Spinstergirl Productions, Theatre Calgary, Lunchbox Theatre) and Edmonton (The Citadel, The Mayfield Dinner Theatre, Stage Polaris) Brad moved to Toronto where he has lived happily ever after.

Brad’s favourite theatre credits in Toronto include emceeing "The Spiegel Show" (Harbourfront Centre) and singing “girls’ songs” in "A Shameless Cabaret" (Harbourfront Centre, GLBT Expo Montreal and New York).

It was while he was in the chorus for the Canadian Opera Company’s production of "The Handmaid's Tale" that Brad met his pal Jean Stilwell and her friend, pianist, Patti Loach. Three years after that meeting, Brad and Rae Ellen Bodie co-directed Jean and Patti in their show, "Carmen UnZipped".

When not treading the boards, Brad can be found waiting in casting rooms for commercial auditions which he sometimes books. (Ask him about filming in Buenos Aires or YYZ Terminal 3. Or Brantford.)

Brad's film and TV credits include "My Dad Says" (short), "The Limits", "Aadan" (short), "The Smart Woman Survival Guide" (TV series), "Forensic Factor" (TV series), "On The Run" (TV series), "Zero Hour" (TV series) and "Living The Life" (reality TV).

When Brad is not acting, or waiting in casting rooms, or on-set, he maintains a small roster of performers whom he coaches privately.
