Born Brandon Spencer Lee Call on November 17th, 1976, in Torrance,
California, Brandon started performing at the tender age of two. His
movie debut, albeit lending his voice, was in Disney's
Taran und der Zauberkessel (1985),
so his first live-action acting role was opposite
Glenn Close in
Das Messer (1985). He made a number
of television appearances before gaining popularity playing
David Hasselhoff's son on
Baywatch - Die Rettungsschwimmer von Malibu (1989). However, his stint
on Baywatch - Die Rettungsschwimmer von Malibu (1989) was short-lived
as he stayed on the series for only a season. He then pursued another
television program, the Brady Bunch-esque show
Eine starke Familie (1991), where he
portrayed the cool JT Lambert with
Patrick Duffy and
Suzanne Somers as his parents.
Growing up, Brandon enjoyed such simple pleasures as playing
basketball, boogie boarding, and listening to music. September 3, 1996,
was probably a night Brandon will never forget because he was involved
in a traffic dispute where he was shot in both arms. Luckily,
Eine starke Familie (1991) was a
mid-season show, so he had time to recuperate before filming began.
This wasn't the first time that Brandon got into trouble, though, as
two weeks prior, his off-screen problems made the news. He seemed to
have dropped off into relative obscurity, as his last televised role
was a guest spot on the Hulk Hogan series
Thunder in Paradise - Heiße Fälle, coole Drinks (1994).
