Brian Haley

Looking only at Brian Haley's film work, it would be a stretch to imagine that the actor is a stand-up comedian, first and foremost. He is most often associated with his supporting roles as stern characters in films such as "Little Giants," playing an over-the-top sports parent; "The Departed," as a calculated detective; and "Gran Torino," as Clint Eastwood's ungrateful and irritated son. His chiseled jawline and all-American features likely lead to these kinds of roles, but they also serve as the backdrop to his comedy act; Haley is known to juxtapose outrageous antics with his seemingly strong and confident physical presence.
