After his recent tour-de-force performance as Spencer Dutton in 1923, Brandon Sklenar has become one of the top rising names in the entertainment industry. The New Jersey native’s passion for acting goes all the way back to his childhood. The actor opened up to Noble Magazine about a speech impediment he had as a kid, explaining, “I was in a lot of public speaking classes to try and get rid of my crazy stutter, and they make you perform plays and whatnot, and I think that got me into it.” In the same interview he spoke of his growing love for film, sharing that he started creating short films at just 14 years old. At 19, he left college after two months, moving to Los Angeles to chase his dreams.
