Brian Haley Life

Brian Carlo Haley (born February 12, 1963) is an American actor and stand-up comedian.

His stand-up act is characterized by his portrayal of his all-American appearances against manic outbursts and bizarre situations.

He may be best known for his roles as Veeko the incompetent kidnapper in John Hughes' baby's Day Out, Spike's father, and Clint Eastwood's son Mitch in the film Gran Torino.

Early life

Haley was born in Seattle, Washington, to a large Catholic family, fifth of six children. His father, an airline executive, was a pilot and a part-time maid, and his mother, a homemaker and part-time maid. His father is of Irish and Italian descent, which is where he gets his Italian middle name Carlo. His family moved to Saint-Jovite, Quebec, where he was put in a boarding home where he learned to speak fluent French at the age of three. He disliked the experience so much that he refused to speak the language only for his younger sister, who only spoke French. He began performing as a kid in the Seattle area, in the community and school theater. In downtown Seattle, as an adolescent, he stumbled upon the film set of Scorchy (1976). After seeing some of the film being shot, leaping into a few shots as an actor and meeting Connie Stevens, the actor, he decided to pursue a career in show business.

At 15, he migrated to rural Ellensburg, Washington. He started working in a variety of roles after high school, including lumberjack, hay buck, and ranch hand. He was enlisted in the United States Army and joined the Green Berets later in life. He served in the Army from 1980 to 1985, winning letters of commendation and the Army Achievement Medal, but he resigned early to pursue a career in show business. Joe Namath appeared in the Ft. Bragg Playhouse while in the Army (1983).

Personal life

The Frank Sinatra booth and several other Chasen's restaurant products are owned by Haley. He is involved with the international humanitarian group World Vision.
