Hey! I’m Brad Yanagida, an actor who’s been training since 2005. Mostly in Los Angeles, CA at the esteemed Young Actors Space. I’ve also honed my skills at The Groundlings (LA) and the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Dream Projects
If I were to pick three dream projects, they would be:
- A role in a comic book or sci-fi franchise like Marvel or Star Wars.
- Involvement in a video game franchise like Assassin’s Creed or Metal Gear Solid.
- A part in a long-running sitcom akin to F.R.I.E.N.D.S or How I Met Your Mother.

Beyond Acting
In addition to acting, I’m passionate about trading (options and stocks). It’s a pursuit I’m dedicated to turning into a consistent income source, offering a unique blend of excitement and financial freedom.
I’m also deeply intrigued by the intersection of technology and society. The evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential applications captivates my imagination. I’m particularly fascinated by the prospect of AI advancements shaping our daily lives, from personalized content creation to revolutionary developments in gaming.

Musical Pursuits
Music holds a special place in my heart, particularly singing. Studying with Singing Sensei here in Hawaii, I’m gradually honing my vocal abilities. While my childhood dream of being a professional musician may have evolved, I still aim to optimize my voice and incorporate it into my creative endeavors.
Heath and Fitness
As a former Certified Personal Trainer through NASM and a consistent advocate of a healthy lifestyle, I’ve maintained a steady diet and workout routine since my college days. Mindfulness and meditation also play a crucial role in my life, as I believe mental well-being is just as vital as physical health.
