- Sidney Brodie is an American actor, motivational speaker, and musician performing on the college, wedding and corporate entertainment circuit since the 1980's. Sidney developed an interest in the TV and film industry after creating a cable reality show about his family band "On the road with The Brothership" in 2004. Sidney continues to attend acting workshops and auditions along the east coast. The transition to TV and film aside from a lifelong passion for the art, is fueled in part by a forced hiatus due to a waning economy and changing music scene on the circuit over the past few years.
Appearing on several TV and a couple movie sets has taught that nothing truly compares to the education of the actual experience along side "A listers" newcomers, directors and the amazing crew that collectively bring it all together. Sidney is looking forward to landing a leading role on a sitcom, reality show or action drama in the near future. But in the meantime combining his talents with his devotion and passion for helping find solutions to community ills remain a paramount interest.
Sidney looks forward to creating and bringing meaningful work to the stage and screen, as well as taking part in the great works of other talented writers and producers.
Sidney Brodie is a firm believer that "Understanding the inherent power of this art form and the human essence should be the destination of every actor aspiring for greatness".
As actors, writers and producers of life changing art; in an ever-changing world Sidney believes we must vow to make our work count like never before in shaping a brighter future for all of humanity.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Dorian Alston
