Acting Career
Brooks says he started his acting career with the theater program at his high school. He found his start when he played Rapunzel's Prince in his high school play, "Into the Woods". After he figured out acting was his thing, he enrolled in acting classes, began modeling, and worked as an extra in movies. Brooks was discovered by casting director Kathy Henderson. When Brooks moved to Los Angeles, he called Henderson immediately, took more acting classes, and got an agent. Two years after the move, he was starring on the NBC daytime drama, "Days of our Lives" as Max Brady. He has been cast in the Spike TV series Blue Mountain State as Alex Moran.
In 2010, Brooks starred as Mr. Blake Owens on Miss Behave, a webseries that also has fellow Days of our Lives stars like Jillian Clare (who played Abigail "Abby" Deveraux in Days of our Lives) as Victoria "Tori" Archer and Eric Martsolf as Marcus Dunne.

Famous quotes containing the words acting and/or career:
“I have no acting technique.... I act instinctively. That’s why I can’t play any role that isn’t based on something in my life.”
—Ethel Waters (1900–1977)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
