Welcome Actor Brennan Fromm!

This episode of I Saw You In That Thing I Saw You In is an absolute masterclass in artistic freedom, breaking stereotypes, and rejecting the labels the industry tries to slap on you. Host Stephen Lomer sits down with a multi-talented force in the New England creative scene: Brennan Fromm.

Brennan is fresh off a massive milestone as the 2025 Boston Fashion Awards Top Male Model, but as Stephen uncovers, he is far more than just a sharp look on a runway. With an extensive background in classical piano, theater, commercial print, and television, Brennan brings a raw, unfiltered, and deeply philosophical energy to the studio.

Inside This Episode: 📌 Backstage Surprises & The 2025 Boston Fashion Awards Brennan shares the hilarious, fast-paced reality of the night he was named Boston's top male model. Juggling rapid wardrobe changes for multiple designers, he didn't even hear his name announced—learning he won only when a chaotic crew member shouted the news at him backstage.

📌 The Mechanics of Hollywood Sets: Chaos vs. Order The Perfect Couple

Brennan reflects on his time doing background work on the hit series. Filmed in Massachusetts right before the 2023 industry strikes, he breaks down the "organized chaos" of navigating a massive crowd of extras on a high-profile set.

📌 The Gilded Age

By contrast, Brennan praises the seamless, ultra-professional production design and coordination of the HBO period drama, noting it as one of his absolute favorite set experiences.

📌 The Hasbro Super Hero Suite: Spider-Man, Hulk, and Cyclops

Brennan talks about the surreal experience of being hired by toy giant Hasbro for major Marvel campaigns. He pulls back the curtain on crawling across fake brick layouts in a sweltering, high-tech Spider-Man: Homecoming mask with blinking eyes—an experience that led to his friends mercilessly teasing him at local clubs. Stephen uncovers that Brennan also modeled the packaging boxes for The Incredible Hulk and X-Men’s Cyclops.

📌 IMDb Roulette: The "Child Actor" Files

Stephen plays a round of IMDb roulette, unearthing bizarre, un-updated project listings that leave Brennan scratching his head:

You Are Here (2017): A project filmed inside a depressing, near-abandoned upstate New York mall.

Tales to Line the Coffin: A dramatic childhood role where Brennan played the son of a lawyer and had to physically pee his pants on camera during an intense family screaming match.

Pre-Production Paradoxes: The confusion of being "known for" unreleased indie features like Terror Don't Sleep and Elliot the Iron Mask.

📌 Advice for Aspiring Performers: "Dream big. Always dream big. You are authentic in yourself as it is. Do not change yourself or adjust for other people's standards. Don't dim your light, no matter what a director or producer says. At the end of the day, acting isn't even about us—it's about bringing another human being's story to life naturally."
