The local young man, raised in Long Island and now living in Brooklyn, said despite his role on the show he has yet to experience a lot of fanfare.

And he's just fine with it.

"I mean, Katie Findlay and I we went to a Rangers game one night and were recognized at the bar there by one girl, and that was really cool cause that's never happened to me before," he said.

The 23-year-old is a performer on the rise.

In addition to his role as Walt, Brendan also appeared int he Sundance 2013 film, Breathe In. What's more, Brendan is also the voice of Chippey the Elf from Elf on A Shelf.
