Brad Heller studied theatre at Boston University before moving to Los Angeles, where he trained with legendary acting teacher Don Richardson. After Don’s passing, Brad felt called to continue that legacy and began teaching while also building his own professional acting career.
Over the years, Brad has worked in television, film, commercials, and live performance while coaching actors at every level. He has taught for more than 20 years and is known for helping actors develop clear, practical tools they can use in auditions, rehearsals, and on set.
His students have gone on to book roles in television, film, theatre, and commercials, and many continue training with him for years because of the lasting value of the work.
I believe it is important to keep these tools alive and pass them on to other actors. If you are an actor, or just beginning to study, know that there is a technique that can help you grow while keeping acting enjoyable.
You can learn to create believable characters, strengthen your instincts, and keep the work honest and entertaining — while still keeping acting fun.
Acting is like a marathon: you train, train, and train — then you win.
Brad’s work as an actor has earned praise from respected professionals in the industry. After appearing on Criminal Minds, Joe Mantegna wrote:
Brad, I saw the show and you did a wonderful job. It was a very good role and you made the most of it. Thanks for being part of our show.
That same professionalism carries into his teaching, where he helps actors bring honesty, confidence, and discipline to their own work.
