Bryan Maurice as "Paul Hammond"
Born in Hempstead NY, Bryan took to acting at an early age. Telling his grandparents about his aspiring dreams they started him out in musical theater at the age of 10.
Landing roles as Daddy Warbucks in Annie and Benny in Rent, Maurice's love for acting grew. Maurice would act sparingly throughout the years sticking with theater well into high school, with plays such as The Wizard of OZ and Fiddler On The Roof. Earning a football scholarship to Hofstra University, Maurice put acting on hold to pursue college.
After an injury ended his football career and scholarship, Maurice entered the U.S. NAVY following in the footsteps of his grandparents who are Air Force veterans. Again, with an injury (heart condition) ending his NAVY tenure, Maurice moved to Portland, OR in 2008 to start a new life. Never having lost his love for acting and writing, Maurice started on his first screenplay and in 2012 landed a role as the Stand-In for Aldis Hodge on the final season of TNT's 'Leverage'.
Learning from one of the best in the business, Maurice honed his craft and in 2015 reemerged to start the #MauriceMovement and landed roles in the feature film Unshattered and three short films - Work Hard, Y2K2000 and Press Start.
In 2016, with the #MauriceMovement taking off in a huge way, Maurice landed several more roles including a leading role in the upcoming films Haze, The Fear of the Bottom (where he met Tristan David Luciotti) and Planetars Masters Of The Elementus.
