Brannon Cross

Brannon Cross is an American actor from Austin, Texas, who got his start in a fifth grade school production, a mock presidential debate in which he played Ross Perot. The role went well enough that classmates, sixth graders among them, asked him for acting tips. He kept at it in high school through an International Baccalaureate program, choosing theater as a subject of concentration, and appeared in every school play. College courses at the University of Central Florida left him restless, so he went back to acting, on his sister's advice enrolling in Tampa classes, where Eric Morris taught at the Performer Studio Workshop. The trip took four hours there and back, and he made it twice weekly until finishing his degree, then settled nearer the studio. He broadened his training with Meisner study in St Petersburg, Florida, and a stint overseas at LAMDA, the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts.
