Brad Chandler

Brad Chandler (born Barry Lee Corbett in Bradford, Pennsylvania, U.S.) is an American actor, a member of Actors' Equity Association ("Equity") since 1995. He trained Off-Broadway as an Equity Membership Candidate (EMC) with the Light Opera of Manhattan (LOOM) under the direction of Todd Ellison.

Brad got his start from Ellen Stewart when he appeared Off-Off-Broadway at La Mama Experimental Theatre Club (La Mama E.T.C.) as Tiny Tim in TINY TIM AND THE SIZE QUEEN (with Joe Pichette), written and directed by Daniel Haben Clark. John Chatterton wrote in the Off-Off Broadway Review (oobr): "Chandler gave Tim a nice edge of vulnerability and a believable Hispanic twist."

Other credits include: Lean Wolf in PETER PAN (Riverside Theatre, with Academy Award winner Kim Hunter) and Pharaoh in JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT (Straw Hat Players, with Tony Award nominee Jan Maxwell). Brad's last Equity appearance was as Victor Velasco in BAREFOOT IN THE PARK.

Brad studied with Jerzy Grotowski, Morris Carnovsky and Rudy Shelley (Peter O'Toole's teacher) from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in London. With Master of Arts degrees in theatre (New York University) and music (Columbia University), Brad has taught and directed in professional theatres, universities and performing arts schools both in the United States and abroad.
