Early lifeFrancis was born in Marion, Ohio. He moved to Norfolk, England with his mother and sister when he was three years old. CareerFrancis began his acting career with London's National Youth Theatre. Outside of Britain, he pursued a variety of stage and film projects that took him back to the United States and eventually to Japan. A string of appearances on Japanese television[1] led Francis to divide his time between Tokyo and his home in London. Notable work include the documentary film Kicking It.[2] Narrated by Colin Farrell, the documentary premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2008. The documentary allowed Francis to champion several social causes with which he is actively involved. The New York Times said that the film is "so earnest it hurts" in its treatment of homelessness and poverty.[3] Francis ventured outside acting when he wrote and produced Bollocks,[4] which premiered in Greece at the Peloponnesian International Film Festival in 2012.[5] Charity workOutside of film and television, Francis is active with humanitarian causes. After the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake, he led efforts to organise fundraising activities in Oxford.[6] References1. ^{{cite web | url = https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3424314/#Actor | title = Brandon Francis Filmography | publisher = imdb.com | accessdate = 16 April 2013}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Francis, Brandon}}2. ^{{cite web | url = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1157668/ | title = Kicking It (2008) | publisher = imdb.com | accessdate = 16 April 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web | url = https://movies.nytimes.com/2008/06/13/movies/13kick.html | title = Homeless but Hopeful | publisher = nytimes.com | accessdate = 16 April 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web | url = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2360206/ | title = Bollocks (2012) | publisher = imdb.com | accessdate = 16 April 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/4323915.Oxford_film_makers_to_show_work_at_prestigious_festivals/ | title = Oxford film makers to show work at prestigious festivals | publisher = oxfordmail.co.uk | accessdate = 16 April 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/yourtown/oxford/4868949.Walkers_raise___500_for_Haiti/ | title = Walkers raise £500 for Haiti | publisher = oxfordmail.co.uk | accessdate = 16 April 2013}} 6 : Living people|British male film actors|People from Marion, Ohio|People from Attleborough|National Youth Theatre members|1981 births |
