Brendan Hines was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 28th, 1976 and is a musician and actor.

In 2007 his band "The Brendan Hines" released an album of ten songs entitled "Good For You Know Who" independently, to much critical acclaim. In addition, Brendan Hines regularly plays at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, CA.

Brendan's film roles include "Ordinary Sinner" opposite Elizabeth Banks, which won the Audience Choice Award at the Greenwich Film Festival, romantic comedy "Heavy Petting" with Malin Akerman, and "Deep In The Valley" (aka "American Hot Babes") with Chris Pratt.

Brendan's television roles include "Without A Trace", "Angel", the much missed "The Middleman" and "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles", in which he played the pivotal role of Andy Goode for two episodes.
