Bram grew up in the small town of Corbin, Kentucky, the real life film
location for 23 Blast. Initially headed toward an athletic scholarship, it took
an elective drama class to fuel a love of acting, inspiring a new future at
Loyola University in Los Angeles. Studying under renown acting coach
Michelle Danner, Bram soon landed a guest spot on General Hospital
as well as a recurring role as Travis on Days of Our Lives. Soap opera
exposure provided a casting opportunity for the web series California
Heaven, where Bram soon found himself portraying lead character Dominic
Corrigan. He continued in television with guest appearances on such shows
as Dirt with Courtney Cox, Three Rivers on NBC, and the CW’s 90210.
Balancing film and television, Bram secured roles in the films Buried
Alive, The Next Race and 40 Hours as well as enjoying frequent advertising
and print work in his spare time. Most recently, Bram’s commercial was
selected as one of the coveted top 5 Doritos super bowl ads.
In 23 Blast, as Jerry Baker, Bram was able to deliver a layered performance,
balancing the complexity of a troubled teenager yet at the same time expose
his vulnerability and compassion. Bram’s personal relationship with
Jerry laid the groundwork for a clear understanding of how he wanted the
audience to embrace the character and expose the Jerry that very few people
knew.
As co-writer of 23 Blast, Bram relied on first-hand experience as Travis
Freeman’s real life teammate. “I was a freshmen when Travis was a senior.
Freshmen are always in awe of seniors, but everyone watching Travis was
in awe. The opposing teams never knew he was blind, so they were in
totally disbelief when they found out.” When it became evident this was
no ordinary story but one of great faith, Bram realized Travis’ message of
hope and encouragement reached way beyond his accomplishments on the
football field. For Bram, delivering that message became the motivation and
driving force for writing the script.
