Biography

    • Full name: Brendan Wolfe Clifford.

      Brendan is known, if at all, for his recurring role of Grady the chef on Nightcap, on which he is also a writer. A fan favorite, Grady's beloved catchphrase is "Kiss my Ritz!", a modern homage to the classic sitcom Alice. Like his character, Brendan is famous for his personal catchphrases, most notably "In this economy?!" and "Oh geez!"

      Brendan was born in Southern CT, where accents do not exist. In an attempt to expose the children to as many white people as possible, his family lived in Darien, Westport, and finally Fairfield, where he attended Fairfield High School (while the school still stood for excellence and unity).

      He attended Manhattan's own Marymount Manhattan College where he studied playwriting, directing, acting, and frivolity, but always considered himself a Yalie. He worked in the legitimate theater for years, rubbing elbows with the cultural elite, until the siren song of low budget cable called for him.

      As a normal American, his nuclear family boast 1 mother, 1 father, 1 younger sister who has a rare condition that keeps her from aging past 9 years, and an identical twin brother.

    • Brendan is known, if at all, for his recurring role of Grady the chef on Nightcap, on which he is also a Writer and Supervising Producer. A fan favorite, Grady's beloved catchphrase is "Kiss my Ritz!", a modern homage to the classic sitcom Alice. Brendan was born in Southern CT, where accents do not exist. In an attempt to expose the children to as many white people as possible, his family lived in Darien, Westport, and finally Fairfield, where he attended Fairfield High School (while the school still stood for excellence and unity). He ran away to sing in the cabarets of Berlin, but then the war came and he retreated to New York City. There he attended Manhattan's own Marymount Manhattan College to study playwriting, directing, acting, and frivolity, but always considered himself a Yalie. He worked in the legitimate theater for years, rubbing elbows with cultural elites like Sondheim and Albee, until the siren song of low budget cable called for him. As a normal American, his nuclear family boast 1 mother, 1 father, 1 younger sister who has a rare condition that keeps her from aging past 9 years, and an identical twin brother.

      Brendan is a practicing homosexual, and his middle name is Wolfe.
