Brian J. Dwyer b. 1984
Originally from Syracuse, NY,
Brian lost over 50 lbs during the course of shooting Swallow Your Pride.
Being a fairly skinny individual beforehand, family and friends began to grow deeply concerned.
“It’s what happens when you eat a steady diet of pop-tarts and
spaghetti, and have no grocery
money for a year” he laughs.		 Brian has since returned to a healthy body weight, and has no plans of eating pop-tarts or spaghetti anytime in the near future.
He currently resides in Philadelphia, PA with his fun loving wife and 9 housemates. He enjoys tending to his house plants, playing music and discussing the finer subtleties of pizza with anyone willing to lend an ear.
