The day after the Hollywood Writers Guild went on strike, Brendan was on the line showing his support and was referred by the WGA Strike Captains to SAG-AFTRA’s own organizing efforts. Almost instantly, Brendan became a recognized leader at the Paramount Lot coordinating scheduling, training, safety and donations for the duration of the strike. You should see his sock tan line!

Every morning, Brendan posted a video from the Paramount entrance about business and legal lessons from his 100+ television and film credits and became an accidental “influencer” on Instagram and TikTok, recognized as “the pineapple hat guy,” tripling his follower count and earning over 2M views in three months. Journalists and celebrities specifically sought out Brendan in-person and online for selfies and updates about the union’s position on key topics; and Brendan remains a figurehead in union service and the community while his pineapple hat and strike uniform are now on display at The Smithsonian American History Museum.
