Brian J Smith for Attitude December 2019 Editorial

The star of Sense8, World on Fire and Treadstone Brian J Smith From coming out in small-town Texas to being the next action hero.

“I had to be very, very careful about telling people the truth about myself. It still reverberates. A lot of my work is about that. The things that move me as an actor are those echoes that come up.”

Brian J Smith

Life of Brian

Growing up in Texas left Brian J Smith feeling isolated by his burgeoning sexuality. Today, he has leading parts in two major dramas.

He tells Attitude how he found himself in acting, why he felt at home in London –– where he fell in love with an Irishman –– and about the joy of discovering Berlin’s hedonism. Words by Cliff Joannou.

“I’ve been doing sci-fi for two years, and there is always something big going on. The stakes are always huge. You’re fighting for your life, or you’re dealing with personal stuff. It has really high stakes attached to it, and there are green screen and explosions. You’re going out on these really cool locations.”––Brian J Smith.
