Bryan Pierce was born on October 21, 1975 & is the middle of 5 children. He was raised in mostly Southern California however, being from a military family & having a nomadic mother, led to relocating all over the United States. He has called Charlotte, NC home since 1995 but, having a bit of his mothers' nomadic tendencies, has always had a "have bag, will travel" mentality. This wanderlust has led him to places all over the globe, from Indonesia to Ireland. It was in 2013 while listening to Terry Gross interview the actor Bobby Cannavale on her NPR show "Fresh Air" that he finally decided to give in to that desire that had been tugging at him for years & begin training to be an actor. The very next week he began studying with JD Lewis at The Actors Lab, a mentor-ship that continues to this day. Shortly after beginning training he signed with Artist Resource Agency & landed his first national commercial for Hillshire Farm. He has since been a contestant on NBC's "The Voice" & seen on ABC's "Nashville" as well other projects, both regionally throughout the Southeast & nationally.
