It is difficult to keep from waxing poetic when speaking about Brian White. He is solid. He is talented. He is loyal. He is intelligent. He is flexible. He is strong. He is humble. He is consistent. He is a gift.

I love our session together. He comes full, yet open. Together, we experience a creative synergy that could not come without these priceless qualities. For his hard work and open mind, he is rewarded with a deeper, higher, richer feel for the life of each character he creates-whether for an audition or for a part he has already earned.

I am very proud of Brian’s body of work (...I said, OF WORK...sheesh!) especially his recent “two weeks at number one at the box office” for “Stomp the Yard”! This is Brian’s most

recent film role. I recommend you see

this unique musical-drama, where

Brian not only displays his acting talets

but his incredible dance ability, as well.

“Stomp the Yard” is about a young man

who, after the death of his brother, is

sent to live in Atlanta where he is

introduced to college and fraternity life.

Brian White plays Sylvester, the leader

of the Theta Nu fraternity. (And I must add

a heart-felt thank-you to Brian for the

Premier and after-party invitations--I had

a blast! It was an honor to be included.)

Besides this successful film, I am just as

thrilled for Brian that he is getting such

wonderful, and well deserved feed-

-back this pilot season, when

after auditioning for 4 pilots, including

“The Apostle”, “Superior Courtships” and “Philadelphia General”, Brian had a screen test for every one, and was subsequently offered roles in each! He chose to accept the character of Kyle Lane opposite Gabrielle Union in ABC's “Football Wives”. From Bryan Singer, the show is a U.S. version of the popular British soap focusing on wives of professional football players. It looks like such a fun show and Brian is excited about working again with his co-star from “Daddy’s Little Girl”, Ms. Union.

For those of you who don’t know, Brian met Gabrielle on this reverse-Cinderella tale, “Daddy’s Little Girl” which will be coming out in theaters this week -- on Valentine’s Day, to be exact. From Lions Gate Productions and Director/Writer, Tyler Perry, the movie centers on a successful attorney (Union) who falls in love with a financially challenged mechanic (Elba) who is a single father of three children. Brian co-stars as Christopher, Union’s blind date, or as Brian puts it, “ Gabrielle kisses a lot of frogs <in this movie> before she meets her prince, and I am the chief frog.”

As long as we are discussing Brian’s Feature Film resume, let’s not forget the action packed Dungeon Siege Tale, “In the Name of the King” coming to theaters August 2007. This film is a cinematic adaptation of the video game Dungeon Siege. Uwe Boll's fantasy adventure film stars Jason Statham as Farmer, a simple man from the

Kingdom of Ehb who sets out to rescue his kidnapped wife (Claire Forlani) from the power hungry Gallian (Ray Liotta) and save his King (Burt Reynolds). Brian stars alongside Jason Statham in this fantasy-adventure epic.

Then there is the DVD from Sony/Screen Gems just released on May 1, 2007, “Motives 2: Brothers Keeper”.

Brothers Keeper is an edgy thriller that centers around Brian White as Donovan Cook, a highly educated and successful business tycoon who becomes entangled in estranged brother, Emory Simms’ illicit past. Brian stars opposite Vivica Fox, and the cast includes Shemar Moore, Sharon Leal, Drew Sidora, William L. Johnson and Joe Torry.

Nor ought we forget, The Game Plan to be released, October 5, 2007 from Buena Vista. In this Disney feature, An NFL quarterback (The Rock) living the bachelor lifestyle discovers that he has a 7-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.  Brian co-stars as Webber, a player on The Rock’s team, alongside an all-star cast including, Morris Chestnut, Roselyn Sanchez, Kyra Sedgwick, Gordon Clapp, and Madison Pettis.

So, as you can clearly see, Brian has been quite busy. This is nothing new for him. You may go back into my archives to recall that he began acting on the small screen, displaying a strong presence in a number of television series such as “Moesha”, MTV's “Spyder Games”, UPN's comedy, “Second Time Around”, but most notably, as Detective Tavon Garris on the award-winning FX crime drama, “The Shield”. 

You also may recall my gushing about how wonderful Brian was in Tom Bezucha's feature film, “The Family Stone,” opposite an all-star cast, and/or how great he was in Rian Johnson's Independent Spirit Award-nominated film, “Brick” and finally how interersting he was in “DOA: Dead or Alive”, the movie adaptation of the best-selling video game series, directed by Corey Yuen (The Transporter). I am sure these current projects will be no different. Brian White is definitely a shooting star!
