Brandon Samuels is one of the 14 main characters in the TWICE Songfix series, being the famous teen actor attending Silverfall Hope Institute and the main protagonist of MORE & MORE. He's the on-and-off screen boyfriend of Briar Hawthorne, and the best friend of Gavin Young. In the trilogy, he dies in Dance the Night Away because of a poison ivy.

Brandon is based on **Jace Blanchett**.

## **Early Life**

He's born on August 16, 2004 to non-showbiz parents. Brandon has shown great potential when it comes to acting as early as 3 years old, and so his parents encouraged him to audition in a reality-based talent competition, winning against his competitors; including Briar Hawthorne, who came in second to him. Unbeknownst to both children, they will meet again as co-actors in a film who were best friends as kids.

Brandon was then enrolled to Silverfall Hope Institute because of a scholarship- representing his school for his talent in acting. This resulted in many more projects and films (especially with Briar) in the future, and Brandon became the **Theater Arts Club** leader.

## **Personality**

As a Leo, Brandon is usually self-absorbed and a narcissist, usually making his friends groan even if he means it as a joke. True to what his joke is, Brandon is actually one of the most attractive people in his friend group- and he obviously knows this. He's rather friendly with everyone especially with his fanclub in school, and he doesn't want anyone to get left out as much as possible.

Besides being a great actor, he's also a stuntman. He's shown in MORE & MORE and Dance the Night Away to be very fearless, as he jumps in to save Briar from Althea Anastasakis on his own, and he helps Gavin Young fight off Hera's shark, **Finn**, in Gloomwater Isle, unfortunately dying right after he got caught up with poison ivies as Louise Hillman diagnoses later on.

## **Physical Appearance**

Brandon has dirty blonde hair which is usually parted to the left side of his head, and dark green eyes. He has a good body figure because of workouts as a stuntman and eating healthy. He's 5'6" in height.

#### **MORE & MORE**

He wears a denim jacket with silver buttons and accents over a light green colored sweatshirt. Brandon also wears gray jeans, and black sneakers with white shoelaces.

#### **Dance the Night Away**

Brandon's summer outfit consists of an unbuttoned yellow dress shirt with his sleeves rolled-up, revealing his white shirt underneath, khaki shorts, and a brown belt around his waist. He has white high-cut shoes, wears a beaded shark teeth bracelet, and a dog-tag necklace.

## **Trivias**

* Brandon originally has blue eyes, but it was changed to dark green for reasons unknown.
* At the start of the series, his height is 5'5", and he grew an inch a year later in the events of Alcohol-Free.
* He and Briar Hawthorne, alongside Ingrid Yuikawa and Noah Dalton, are the only ones who kissed directly that were described to have lasted for a few seconds. Ethan just pecked Louise on the lips in DTNA and therefore isn't counted.
* He doesn't like the thought of getting tattoos on his body, and he doesn't like piercings. Also, a major turn-off for him are girls (or guys) drinking and smoking.
* Brandon is the only one of the main protagonists of the series to not have a closing narrative unlike Louise and Ingrid, since he's the first protagonist and couldn't have his own narrative.
* He originally wasn't supposed to die in Dance the Night Away; it was a last-minute addition of the writers. Ironically, the writers didn't even want Brandon to die- it was **Jace Blanchett** himself who made the decision.
