Began bands, Late Bloomers and Thruster in the past year.

Art Carney for Coca Cola. Where
is He Now:
On May 28, 2004, on suspicion of driving under the influence and driving
with a suspended license in Boulder, Colorado. The rumor is that when he was
asked by the officer if he had been drinking, he replied, 'plenty.'
He was previously convicted on a DUI charge in 2001.
Brian has thrown himself into music. In may he had this to say, "Music is my
passion and it's how I want to spend the rest of my days. I have no interest in
returning to acting."
"Even if the band doesn't work out, I want to be associated with music somehow."
There has been speculation on whether or not Brian worked at a radio station in
Detroit in 2003. Some say it was him, and others are saying it was a man
impersonating him. The radio station was WRIF Radio where his on-air name is O.D.
