Brian Kruse began his acting career at the Ramsdell Theatre in Manistee, Michigan. The same stage on which James Earl Jones began performing many years before. When a friend asked for a ride to an audition, Brian was convinced by the director to try out for the play. To the chagrin of his friend, Brian was cast as the lead, and his love for the theatrical arts began to flourish. When his High School built a new 450 seat theater, they looked to him to star as Nathan Detroit in its inaugural production of "Guys and Dolls."
Brian enrolled at Michigan State University for a degree in Telecommunications Information Studies & Media, along with a minor in Theater. Brian wrote and acted on the school's well-established sketch comedy show, Sideshow. His last two years working on the program, Brian won the Michigan State University award for Best Actor. Brian went on to co-write and star in his first independent film, "Rooftops," a story that echoed his own experiences growing up in a small town and moving away in a tale of self-discovery.
After moving to Los Angeles, it didn't take Brian long to begin collaborating with other like-minded artists on SAG/AFTRA projects. He also co-founded a production company, Forest LAwn Films, alongside his business partner, and long time friend, Tim Banks. Brian credits his parents for their undying support, and spends his time producing a television show, acting and submitting a variety of projects to different Film Festivals.- Donald W.
