Brandon Delsid is back on stage as Krys in the world premiere of Larissa FastHorse’s “Fake It Until You Make It” at the Mark Taper Forum!

Originally from Fresno, CA, Brandon can be seen starring in Amazon Prime’s This is Me…Now musical alongside Jennifer Lopez and this spring he’ll be a recurring guest star on a popular HBO show. Last year he completed June and John with director, Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) and shot Peacock’s The Date Whisperer. He can be seen in campaigns for Amazon, CeraVe, White Claw, HBO, Redfin, and Netflix. 

The comedy follows a group of people working in the non-profit sector. “Meet Wynona, the Native American proprietor of N.O.B.U.S.H., and River, her white counterpart at Indigenous Nations Soaring,” reads a press release about the production. “Their escalating rivalry ensnares colleagues and bystanders, leading to the unraveling of secrets that highlight the absurdities of ambition and authenticity. Amidst the laughter, genuine connections form, emphasizing the value of unexpected paths to success. ‘Fake It Until You Make It’ takes an absurd look at what defines who we are, and the lengths some people will go through to change it.”

Check out our interview with Brandon:
