Brady Corbet

Brady Corbet was a prolific independent film actor who made his directorial debut with 2015's "The Childhood of a Leader." Born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Corbet moved to sunny Los Angeles in the late '90s to pursue acting. He landed his first TV guest spot in 2000 on the CBS sitcom "The King of Queens" (1998-2007), and before long started appearing in movies. Corbet made waves in Hollywood for his role as a teenager in the critically acclaimed drama "Thirteen" (2003), and followed that up with appearances in "Thunderbirds" and Gregg Araki's "Mysterious Skin," both of which were released in 2004. Corbet returned to TV in 2006 playing the son of Jack Bauer on Fox's popular action-spy series, "24" (2001-2010). By the late 2000s, however, Corbet started appearing almost exclusively in small, independently produced films like Michael Haneke's "Funny Games" (2007), and Lars Von Trier's "Melancholia" (2011). Through working with these prestigious directors, Corbet was left with the desire to direct his own feature. That film, "The Childhood of a Leader" (2015), an ambitious period movie set during World War I, marked Brady Corbet as a rising talent to watch.
