Brett Maline is a renowned disabled actor, writer, and director who has garnered numerous accolades for his exceptional work.

In a remarkable collaboration with Running Point Productions and Good Get Productions, Brett's short film "Wrong Guy" was selected as an official entry at the prestigious Slamdance 2025 festival. His impressive performance at the 2024 CBS Paramount Showcase earned him a spot in the 2023 Inevitable Foundation Elevate Collective Cohort, where he had the opportunity to develop his original TV and film scripts.
Brett's impressive résumé also includes writing credits for the second season of Marvel's Loki, as well as his half-hour comedy, which is currently in development with Sony Pictures Television. This year, he is set to make his foreign film directorial debut with MAI, a highly anticipated film shot on location in Tokyo.
Throughout his career, Brett has made numerous appearances on prominent television networks, including CBS, NBC, FOX, Amazon Prime, and Disney. His impressive background in improv comedy includes stints as a former cast member of the Groundlings Sunday Company and a veteran of the UCB house sketch team.
In addition to his work in television and film, Brett continues to write, direct, and produce engaging content for his popular YouTube channel, Genuine Jerks. His channel has garnered significant attention, with features on the Today Show, Good Morning America, and Vulture.
