==Trivia==
*Bradley is voiced by Vincent Martella, who previously voiced Phineas Flynn in Phineas and Ferb. Coincidentally, both Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law take place in the same universe.
**Ironically, Bradley is the opposite of Phineas - while Phineas is an optimist, Bradley is more of a pessimist.
***Also, despite both characters occurring in the same universe, as well as sharing the same voice actor, they sound nothing alike.
*In a promo on Disney XD Africa's YouTube channel, it states that Bradley feels he is the perfect soulmate for Melissa.
*Despite his cold attitude toward Milo, he was seen dancing to him and his band in School Dance.
*Much like Elliot Decker, his antagonistic relationship with Milo is one-sided on his part.
*In early concepts, Bradley would have served as the total antithesis of Milo. While Milo was unlucky, but happy all the time, Bradley was going to be incredibly lucky, but miserable about it.
