Biography
Bradford Anderson is a native of Meredith, New Hampshire. His mother, who worked at local theater companies, encouraged both him and his sister Jennifer to get involved in acting. Anderson's first experience was at the age of 6, playing Tiny Tim in a professional production of "A Christmas Carol". As a junior at Inter-Lakes High School, he also landed a part in a local production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," which involved him spending time at a kind of Summer Theater camp with many actors who were much older than he was. He decided he liked the life, and began studying drama in earnest. He graduated in 1998, and was voted in his yearbook as "Best singer," "Most dramatic," and "Most likely to succeed." He attended the Tisch School of Performing Arts at New York University, and while with the Philadelphia Theater Company, won an award as Best Supporting Actor for his role as Billy in Edward Albee's The Goat...Or Who Is Sylvia?
In mid-2005, he moved to Hollywood, where he obtained a recurring part on Veronica Mars and began performing in other television shows as well. In September 2006, General Hospital put out a casting call for a "college-aged kid" who was a cross between Seth Green and Spicoli, a character played by Sean Penn in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Anderson won the part, and the character, chattering a rapid-fire mix of surfer lingo and internet slang, has offered an interesting element to the show.
Anderson cites influences from Johnny Depp, Gary Oldman, Don Knotts and Justin Long.
