SPEAKER_00 0:10

Hi Brandon, welcome to The Latest with Maya. You've seen Brandon Scott in Grey's Anatomy, Dead to Me, The Girls on the Bus, and more. Most recently, you can you can see Brandon as David in off campus. Thank you so much for joining me. I'm so excited to be talking with you.

SPEAKER_02 0:36

I'm so glad to be here. Thank you. Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_00 0:39

Yeah. So who has had the biggest impact on you professionally?

SPEAKER_02 0:47

Biggest impact professionally. Wow. I would have to go with Frankie Faison. Frankie Faison is an actor, one of the most amazing actors. He was in uh Coming to America. He's been in The Wire. Uh he was most recently on a show on Netflix called Ripple. Uh, he's just, you know, I met him in the theater scene in New York. I had I grew up watching him on TV. And then I ended up honored to work with him on a project. And he kind of took me in as a mint, as a uh, as a mentee. He was my mentor for a while. But then we just became the best of friends. And he actually officiated uh my wedding to my wife, and uh he's just been uh an awesome person to just learn how to navigate this business with professionally, but then also just the most amazing friends. So I just feel so lucky to have met him. And sometimes when you meet your idols, you know it's it's not a fairy tale, and this one really, really has been a fairy tale. So Frankie Fazon.

SPEAKER_00 1:56

Oh, I love that. Yeah, I I love Frankie. I actually interviewed him um a few months ago.

SPEAKER_01 2:05

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_00 2:06

Okay, yeah, yeah. And um, yeah, he's just he's just um so kind and uh he was so fun to talk with.

SPEAKER_02 2:17

And so he just has such a wealth of knowledge just from his life, but this business. Yeah, he's he's he's great.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

Yeah, yeah. Um so who has had the um biggest impact on you as a person?

SPEAKER_02 2:34

Oh, wow, these are some good questions. Um, biggest impact as a person. I I would have to it feels hard to say one person, so I'm gonna have to say my family. Um, my my mom, my dad, my brother, and my sister. So it's just I'm from I'm from Alabama, and uh that was my my unit, still is my unit, and um, you know, it's it's great to have a supportive family that uh believes in you and supports you, and um that really has been them, and they've just taught me so much, and um I I don't think I don't think I could choose one because they all just kind of work as this one big, you know, um unit that I think has really uh given me so much.

SPEAKER_00 3:24

So I love that, yeah. Yeah. Um so is there someone who without fail always makes you laugh?

SPEAKER_02 3:38

So someone who makes me laugh without well that one I can I can choose one, and that's that's my brother. My brother is I have an older brother, and he is um one of my favorite people. Uh, and uh to this day we just get on the phone and we can talk gibberish, like sometimes it's just nonsense. Uh, we're just making up words or whatnot, and we always um it always ends in laughs or or turns into laughs, and even when I'm having a tough time, he's definitely someone who will find some way to make me laugh. I don't even know if he means it sometimes, but he just he cracks me up.

SPEAKER_00 4:19

Oh, I love that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um so what small things bring you joy on a daily basis?

SPEAKER_02 4:31

Small things bring me joy on a daily basis, okay. Um music. Music, you know. I'm I'm I I grew up playing music and was introduced to like just um the arts and everything at a young age. And I think it's just something that's been with me my whole life. And to this day, um I'm one of those people who it like I'm okay with with quiet, with silence and things like that, but you know, it's like in the car, I'm gonna have some music on. I like if I'm hosting a party or having people over, even if it's just like a a light pulse of music on in the background, because it just I just love the sounds and um I'm always shazamming things because I'm hearing it in restaurants or wherever, and I'm like, what song is this? I need this song, I need this new thing, because uh I think it makes me feel good, but also feeds me because as someone who likes to create music, I I just wish I could absorb it all, like like Neo in the Matrix or something, and just understand all the music in the world. So um I'd say on a daily basis, you can find me somewhere analyzing or just jamming out to something.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

Oh, I love that. Yeah, music brings me um so much joy too. I mean, as we were talking about before the interview started.

SPEAKER_02 5:57

Um what's her name again? What's the artist's name again?

SPEAKER_00 6:01

Because I did not Catherine Gallagher.

SPEAKER_02 6:04

Catherine Gallagher, okay. I'm gonna check out, and uh you've been listening to her for a while.

SPEAKER_00 6:09

Yes, I have, yeah. Um, yeah, I love her.

SPEAKER_01 6:15

Yeah, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

Yeah, there was um uh when she released uh one of the songs on her EP is called Stella, and when she released that song, there um people were making like all these TikTok videos to it, and so I decided to do that just um for fun, and I wasn't gonna post it or anything. And I was like, you know what? I actually I like this, I had fun with it, so I'm just gonna put it up, and then she um she liked it and she commented, and I immediately texted my sister and showed my mom. I was like, you're never gonna guess what happened.

SPEAKER_02 6:58

Look at that, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_00 7:00

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 7:02

I can't sell it. Okay, I'm gonna I can't wait to check that out, and then I'm gonna check out the video too that you uh give me.

SPEAKER_00 7:08

Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

Yeah, I never I always get self-conscious, like posting videos of myself, but I was like, I had fun making this, so I think I just I'm like my mom was also saying, she's like, as long as you had fun with it, I think that's the most important part because believe it or not, like as an actor, like I uh I get self-conscious all the time about posting anything, about doing things, but it's I think the thing that helps me is when I just say kind of connect to the fun of it, and then as long as you're having fun, I think that's it's infectious. If you're having fun, and that's one of the things that that makes people other people smile, makes other people laugh, makes other people like have a good time, is when you know they see that that that someone is just uniquely them and having fun. And I I I think there should be more of that. So kudos.

SPEAKER_00 8:01

Thank you. Yeah, um, yeah. So if you um had a warning label, what would yours be?

SPEAKER_02 8:14

A warning label? Oh my goodness. If I had a warning label, if I had a warning label, it would probably be if he has not eaten, do not talk to him. Because if if if if it's early, especially, and I have not had a bite of eat, a bite of something to eat, I might get a little uh a little, what do they call it? Hangry, hangry, a little, a little cranky. Um, my brain shuts, I stopped listening, all these things. So I I guess that that would be my warning label. Like, make sure you have fed him first, or that he has nourished himself and then and then approach. So, and I did I did eat today, so don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_00 9:04

Yeah, I like that warning. Like, well, um, my mom needs the same one because we always joke. My sister and I, and our mom all joke together that she just get she gets angry, so too.

SPEAKER_02 9:21

So you know, I didn't I didn't think I got that way. I didn't realize it until uh my wife started pointing it out, and then I was like, Yeah, you're right, you're right. And so, you know, um sometimes, you know. Yeah, I I sympathize with your mom. I empathize with her, you know.

SPEAKER_00 9:40

I'll I'll tell her that. Yeah, yeah, tell her, tell her I understand yeah so uh what has been the um biggest obstacle either personally or professionally that you've overcome?

SPEAKER_02 10:00

Wow, biggest obstacle personally or professionally? I'd say one of the biggest ones was um uh uh coming to I I I'm from Alabama and I'd say when I was growing up, um I have a very I have a very and had a very supportive family, but a lot of people in the community weren't used to the idea of someone talking about going and uh becoming an actor or going off leaving and chasing this dream. So I remember when I was deciding that I was gonna go to New York, um being met with some uh pushback, let's say, from some folks who were just kind of like, that's crazy. Well, how are you gonna do that? What are you gonna do? You're gonna you're gonna get uh New York is so dangerous. And how are you gonna survive? You know, all those things that when you're trying to chase a dream, you you just you don't want to focus on those things. And so um I remember starting to kind of doubt myself, starting to kind of doubt my decisions and if it was just even worth it or whatnot. And I really had like with the help of my family and friends and people, those who did believe in me, encouraging me, I decided uh let's just do it. Let's let's go to New York, let's let's go and try to become an actor. And I really do not regret a moment of it, like when I look back. So I would say hey, that that may be a personal and professional thing that I look back that really um uh overcame that. And um I really uh learned from that that you know, trust yourself. Um, and also if there's something you want to do, um take the shot because if you don't take the shot, you just never know. And so um, yeah, I'm really like I said, I'm grateful for those who did support me during that time.

SPEAKER_00 12:03

Yeah, yeah. Um, so I am uh pop culture obsessed and I go in stages of shows that I cannot stop watching. Okay, uh is there a show that you are currently obsessed with?

SPEAKER_02 12:22

You know, I'm so okay. I'm behind on shows right now. I can't I have like a list of shows that I need to catch up on, which I can't like uh House of the Dragon. I can't wait to get back to that one. Um, but I'd say in that vein, one of the latest shows I watched that I really, really loved was um a knight of the seven kingdoms. I don't know if you saw that one. It was the um Game of Thrones kind of um comedic spin-off of these characters, and it's um I'm a big I'm a big fantasy novel geek. I play Dungeons and Dragons, I will admit that right here. And so uh anything where you give me like knights and you give me castles and you give me people and horses and some some some battles, that's that's my jam. So that that show uh I would say is the latest one that I've been obsessed with and telling everyone, even if you did not get through the million hours of Game of Thrones, you know, I think you will enjoy this. It's quick, it's 30 minutes, I think, each episode, and there are like six or seven of them, but it's so well done, it's so enjoyable. So I highly recommend a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

SPEAKER_00 13:36

Oh, I love that. I I'm writing that down because um my mom has we watch a lot of shows together, and she's uh keeping a list of everything we both say we want to watch, and she really wants to watch that show. So I'm writing it down so now we remember the next thing to watch together.

SPEAKER_02 14:00

You know, I feel like I feel like number one, I should have said off campus. That's probably I shouldn't start with that. But um, is there something that you're obsessed with that you've been watching or that you love? One of your favorites?

SPEAKER_00 14:11

Um, I mean, there's so many. I um I'm obsessed with, I mean, I was obsessed with off campus. I watched that in like two days. Um and uh it was funny when I was watching it, it was like right before I went to LA and the night before we were uh my mom and I watched it together and we had to get up really early, but we stayed up late to finish off campus because I'm like, I don't want to go to LA without finishing this, we have to finish it tonight. Um so that one I was so obsessed with that. Um, and then I just finished the um final season of The Bear, yeah, okay, which is so good, yeah. Um and then uh I I've been re-watching uh Rizzoli and Isles. Um wow, wow. Um, I I'm obsessed with that show. I'm re-obsessing over it, um, like yeah, all over again.

SPEAKER_02 15:25

So I love a good rewatch. You know you are obsessed with something when you're like, I'm going to watch this show again. I I know everything that happens. Okay, Rosalia and Isles. I love that. I remember that. That's a great show.

SPEAKER_00 15:37

Yeah, yeah. There were a few episodes that uh I forgot about that really creeped me out, and they creeped me out all over again. So yeah. Um but yeah, and then I've been watching so many rom-coms too lately.

SPEAKER_02 15:56

So especially new ones, I love a good rom com.

SPEAKER_00 16:00

Yeah, me too. Yeah, especially like nights I haven't been able to sleep. It's been like I've been watching rom coms, um, just uh re-watching them.

SPEAKER_02 16:12

So uh uh like movies or TV shows? Movies, movies, those are uh yeah, bring back all the best rom-coms. Uh do you are you watching more of like the the older ones like Sleepless in Seattle or like uh Harry Met Sally? Or what there's some newer ones that kind of a mix uh of both.

SPEAKER_00 16:35

Like I just started the other night rewatching the proposal, um, which I love. Um, and then there's um some new ones that just came out this year on Netflix that I'm obsessed with. So there's like people we meet on vacation and you always, and then the newest one, voicemails for Isabelle. Um that's a good one. Yeah, yeah. So I'm obsessed with them also.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

I see, I see, I love that, love that, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:13

And even like Netflix has like added ones I've never I haven't seen before, so I've been going back and watching ones I haven't seen. So which has been really fun.

SPEAKER_02 17:26

Awesome, yeah. I love that. I love it. I mean, they just so feel good, you know.

SPEAKER_00 17:30

They are, yeah, definitely. Yeah, I one of my all-time favorites is um a movie called Home Again with Reese Witherspoon that I um I've seen so many times that I've lost track.

SPEAKER_02 17:50

You're giving me all the gems. Maya okay, home again. I don't know this one. Home again have you seen have you seen about time?

SPEAKER_00 18:00

Oh yes, I love that movie.

SPEAKER_02 18:02

That's one of my favorites, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:05

Yeah, it's so good. I haven't seen that one in a while, so I need to go back and rewatch it.

SPEAKER_02 18:14

Yeah, it's just yeah, I just remember it just it being a I mean, yeah, uh the ROM, the the love of uh the main character in Rachel McAdams, Domino Gleason, I think that's his name, uh or the actor's name, but then the love of the father and the son, like it being more of it's not just about the romantic love, it's about him and his connection to his father, and just I just thought that was beautiful. That that wrecked me, you know. Whenever, like a rom com, the good ones that can make it about so much, um, are just are that are so un kind of hit you unexpectedly in some way. Um, because I was not expecting that about some guy time traveling in a closet. It was just the it was the strangest scenario, but I remember seeing it in the theater and just being so moved by it. And I've seen it seen a few times now, so it's definitely one one of my favorites.

SPEAKER_00 19:14

Oh, I love that. Yeah, I that movie is so great. I love it. Um, yeah, and um, I I would love to hear what you think of Home Again.

SPEAKER_02 19:27

Okay, yeah, and yes, you give a whole bunch of recommendations. Reese Witherspoon. I'm wondering, have I no, I don't know this one. Okay. Okay, I got it.

SPEAKER_00 19:39

Okay, oh yay, I can't wait to hear what you think.

SPEAKER_02 19:42

We'll have a rom com club.

SPEAKER_00 19:45

Yeah, oh yes, I would love that. Yeah. Um, so what genre of movie would your life story be told as?

SPEAKER_02 20:04

I mean, well, you know, the first thing, gosh, that so many thoughts are going through my brain right now, but I hope it would be a rom com. You know, I don't know. I mean, we're talking about rom-com, so um, but you know, uh, yeah, I hope it would be a fun rom-com, one of those that yes, it could be about a romantic relationship, but also similarly, there's this other added element of me loving to learn, I don't know, myself and art, and you know, I'm I'm not good at pitching movies, but if it was just like one of those worlds uh of movies, I think that'd be fun. Um and then I think the other side of me hopes it becomes like a uh a rock star biopic, but not with like the bad parts, you know, like a fun, just like uh because I I I love doing music and um it'd be so much fun to actually uh perform more with music and then I don't know, maybe maybe have some like perform at some big stadiums or something one day. That's that's the fantasy. That's the fantasy, and maybe uh maybe in a in in like another decade I'll be ready for the by that biopic. But um let's say rom com for now. That's a good question. Never thought of that.

SPEAKER_00 21:28

Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I love that. I um yeah, I uh love um uh writing song lyrics. Um, so I I can't sing like I was telling you before the interview. Um, but that that doesn't stop me. Um yeah, I love I've always loved writing song lyrics. And so in in my fancy To see, I can sing, and I'd love my life story to be a musical rom-com.

SPEAKER_01 22:07

That's perfect.

SPEAKER_02 22:08

That's perfect. Do you write poetry? Is that where the song numbers come from, or or specifically for a song music?

SPEAKER_00 22:15

Yeah, it's specifically, yes, for songs.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

Maya, musical rom-com. I I think uh I think I think that's that's gonna that's that's a perfect pitch right there.

SPEAKER_00 22:27

Oh thank you. Thank you. Yeah, that that's my dream. So um so if you could give someone in your life a star on the walk of fame, who would it be?

SPEAKER_02 22:51

Oh, someone in my life a star on the walk of fame. There's so many people. These are some good you're gonna make me choose, Maya. Um, these are some good questions. Okay, this one I will I will try to choose one person. I I first person, my mom. I would love to give my mom a star. I mean, no offense, dad. I give you one also, but uh, but um yeah, they the two of them, they they have an interesting story just um in the growing up in the deep, deep south, and um just um what they've sacrificed for um what they built and then what they've uh sacrificed for our family. And I just you know, it's one of those things where you're always like, you know, like I would love to give my mom a star on the walk, uh, on the uh the walk of fame, but also like a house, a car, a vacation, uh, you know, all these things because um they work so hard and and I think it would be uh uh a lovely thing to to give. And I think that they would, you know, just blow their minds.

SPEAKER_00 24:05

Oh, I love that.

SPEAKER_02 24:07

Do you get mom a lot? Do you get mom and dad a lot when when you ask this question?

SPEAKER_01 24:11

Or yeah, and I love it.

SPEAKER_02 24:16

Yeah, no, I should now now I got a good present. I'm gonna I'm gonna get like a present uh um maybe next mother's day or something, just some little trinkets, some little maybe little little Hollywood walk of fame souvenir star or something, just engrave my mom's name and send it to her just for for no reason, you know.

SPEAKER_00 24:36

Oh yeah, I love that. Yeah, yeah, I think I uh my mom and my sister, I'd want to give them stars.

SPEAKER_02 24:46

Yeah. Yeah, the support system that's like you know, it's so so important and uh yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_00 24:59

Um, so if you had to choose someone to narrate your life, who would you choose and why?

SPEAKER_02 25:10

Someone to narrate my life. Um Frankie, Frankie would be great. Uh Frankie Faison, because uh he has that deep resonant voice. Um he's uh an amazing actor, and um, so I I think he could tell the story well. And I just personally I think he would he knows me so well that you know if if I were to ever write anything like that, he would know the parts that like if I'm taken a little too seriously, he'd he'd he he'd call me out on it in some way, you know, or if it's like if it's some part of the narrating the life story that like um needs a certain levity or certain weight. I think Frankie could navigate all those waters so well. So Frankie.

SPEAKER_00 26:04

Oh, I love that.

SPEAKER_02 26:06

That's my homie. That's my home. I can't wait to tell him that I I did this show with you.

SPEAKER_00 26:11

So uh please tell him I say hi.

SPEAKER_02 26:15

I'll do that.

SPEAKER_00 26:16

I will thank you. Um so what um song whenever you hear it brings you back to a specific memory, and what is that memory?

SPEAKER_02 26:32

Wow. Song whenever I hear it brings me back to a specific memory. There's so many. Well the songs are in there. Wow, this is what's what's crazy is I have so many songs in my head right now that I can't or so many um that I can't even choose one. Um this might take another 10 minutes, Maya. You may have officially stumped me at this point. Um okay, I'm gonna go with okay. This one might be strange. Um the first one that's coming to me, I'm a big Radiohead fan, okay? Radiohead obsessed with. Um I don't know why creep comes into my head, right? Because uh that's just um yeah, the one of the ones that came in my head. I uh I remember this this is a more recent one. I feel like this question would be better served by me thinking of something from like the past, but this is I'm just gonna go with where it's going to me now. Uh this I did a marathon recently, right? And um, and I put on all these random songs. It's like while some people might run to like really upbeat, um high octane songs, I run to down tempo moody things. Like I will admit it here. It's like I'll run to Radiohead or I'll work out to Radiohead. So I was running this marathon, I was really struggling because it was a tough marathon. Creep came on, and it gave me some, it lifted me up to help me finish the marathon, but also it um my dog had passed away, and I was kind of running the marathon for him, also. And there was something about that boost of energy that I remember being like, Oh, my buddy Forge is here. He like put that song on rotation to help me out. So, and I was running this marathon, and then I also started like tearing up and crying during the marathon. So I'm running and I'm crying, but I'm listening to creep, and I'm so joyous at during the during the whole thing. So that's yeah, it was um so now for some strange, weird reason, every time I hear that song, it just takes me back to um to that moment, which was all the things, you know. It's like, and and those that those are the type of songs and the type of moments that like to me are so impactful where it's not just one simple emotion, you know what I mean? It's not just one, you can't just put it neatly in a box. It was like everything coming at you as a as a storm, and you just kind of just just keep going through it, and you kind of just gotta ride that wave wherever it is. And um, and it was it also it caught me off guard, if that makes sense, because I probably because my body was so tired from running, it was just like whatever flooded through was just like I had no barriers, I had no inhibitions, it was just like we're just gonna go with it. So um, yeah, that's that's song.

SPEAKER_00 30:19

Oh wow, yeah, yeah. I'm so sorry to um hear about your dog.

SPEAKER_02 30:25

Oh, thank you, thank you. That was my homie, that was my homie, but um late, late, lately. You know what I've been listening to? Oh, what um it's the latest Maya, it's the latest Maya. That is a great theme song, like it's been stuck in my head.

SPEAKER_01 30:45

It's uh yeah, it's a really really catchy.

SPEAKER_00 30:49

Oh, thank you so much. I actually um I interviewed um Austin and Colin. There uh they did the theme song when I inter their duo that when I interviewed them afterwards. I had just asked them if maybe they'd want to make a theme song, and then they sent me sent it to me, and I just I'm obsessed with it.

SPEAKER_02 31:16

That's a hit.

SPEAKER_00 31:18

So thank you.

SPEAKER_02 31:19

Really well done, guys. Really, really well done.

SPEAKER_00 31:22

Oh I'm gonna I'm gonna email them after this and tell them you said that. So thank you. Whenever my mom uh like listens to one of my interviews, she's always singing the song afterwards. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:47

That's that's proves that it is just uh it's a hit.

SPEAKER_00 31:52

Thank you. Yeah, like I said, uh, I'm gonna email them and tell them you said that. So yeah. Um, so do you have any irrational fears?

SPEAKER_02 32:12

Irrational fears. I don't know. I mean I I I probably do. I've I I consider myself someone who's pretty I try to if I'm scared of something, I try to figure it out, but um rational. Um I can't I I probably do. I got to, right? Don't we all have some type of rational fears? Um spiders kind of come up. I mean, but I feel like that's rational to be afraid. Spiders, though um, I you know, uh I'm I'm gonna go with the spiders for now, um, because um it's taking me back to this memory of um in Alabama, um, we had these windows in our living room, right? And these uh hedges in front of them that looked onto our front yard, and these huge spiders would create these big webs on the windows, right? So one of my earliest memories is being a kid and just opening the curtains and looking out this window at this big. I mean, at the time, I mean in my mind, this spider was like this big, okay? But this spider was probably small, you know what I mean? But me as a little kid, this spider was so big, and these spiders would just dangle on the windows, right? And so I anti-spiders, I was anti-spiders for the longest time. Um I I told I'm into fantasy and sci-fi, right? So this is gonna be a weird story, just go with me. I I read this book called Children of Time, which is about um uh a race of intelligent spiders, right, in space. It's the most random book, but it's really well done. And it kind of asked the question of let's say that spiders were very like it makes you question just life and intelligence amongst everything, and if those if everything was kind of allowed to thrive as opposed to like, you know, people kill spiders, we like are afraid of spiders. And um it was so profound that it had me look at spiders differently. So um now, whenever there's a spider in the house, I like catch it and I let it out, or I like try to, you know, I try to not be afraid of it, try not to like squash spiders. I'm like, I'm gonna let them go. They're just trying to live in space. This is you know, like the same as all of us. So um that's my irrational fear story that I'm I'm still working on getting over. And this book, Children of Time, the most random book about space spiders, has uh helped me to deal with any of those fears around that. So oh wow, it's random, it's random.

SPEAKER_00 35:36

Well, I I get that I I don't like spiders either, so yeah, yeah. Um yeah, I but I always joke that my brain's just one big irrational fear. So basically, um I'll be spiraling about something and then I'll say it out loud, and I'll like if I say it to my mom or my sister, they'll look at me and they'll be like, You understand that's irrational, right? And I'm like, when I say it out loud, I do, but in my head it makes perfect sense.

SPEAKER_02 36:14

Yeah, yeah. So it's great that you have someone to say that too, because you know, sometimes when you don't have anyone to say it to, then you're definitely just keep saying it in your head. Forget that.

SPEAKER_00 36:26

Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Um, so I just uh have one uh final question for you. Um so today, what are you most grateful for?
