Tell us a little about yourself and how you got your start.
BRANDIN STENNIS: My name is Brandin, and I’m a native of Los Angeles. I’ve been acting since I was young.

From there I started my acting career and just have been building it up and working hard.

If you could hand-pick your dream co-star, who would you choose to work with?

I got to see performances from Meghan Trainor, Charlie Puth, and many others that I really enjoyed. The after party was my favorite part though. I was able to hang out with tons of great people and got to have a dance party while drinking tons and tons of Shirley Temples! Overall, I just loved it! It was awesome!
What’s up next for you? Do you have any upcoming projects you can share?
BRANDIN: Right now I am working on some new projects. All I can say is that you will have to stay tuned to my Instagram where updates and new projects will be posted. I can tell you that I just shot 50 episodes as a host for an upcoming science show that will air in the Fall.
