In 1993 in Vienna he began his acting career and "has been a fixed part of the Austrian film, theater and cabaret scene ever since."

He is frequently invited to talk shows or to give keynote speeches in the business world. Since 2011 Brix has run his own production company, producing material for TV, commercials, and internet.
Since 2008 he is the initiator and organizer of the annual benefit evening in favor of development aid clubs and Chairman of the Otto Tausig fund "Artists Development Aid", along with Lilly Tausig, Paul Gulda and Erwin Steinhauer.
In 2011 he was a co-founder of Facebook group Amici delle SVA, which in 2017 in association with ARGE1 established a legal entity for micro-enterprises.
