[edit] Career

[edit] 2000–2005

At 12 years old, Brady Corbet began his acting career with a guest spot in an April 2000 episode of CBS' The King of Queens and followed it up with voice work in the English version of Japanese anime series NieA under 7. Over the next few years, he was a regular on another anime series, I My Me! Strawberry Eggs (2001), and guest starred in a May 2002 episode of the WB sitcom Greetings from Tucson. He was also spotted as a guest in a May 2003 episode of Fox’s sitcom Oliver Beene.

In 2003, Corbet landed his first big break when he was cast opposite Holly Hunter, Evan Rachel Wood, Nikki Reed and Jeremy Sisto in director Catherine Hardwicke's Thirteen.

Following his big screen debut, he immediately secured his first starring role as Alan Tracy, the youngest son of billionaire and ex-astronaut (played by Bill Paxton) who finally saves the world in Jonathan Frakes' live-action movie based on the British mid-1960s TV series, Thunderbirds (2004).

In 2004, California filmmaker Gregg Araki cast him opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the director's eighth film, Mysterious Skin. In the film, based on the 1996 novel of the same name by Scott Heim, Brady portrayed Brian Lackey, a troubled teen who is plagued by nightmares and believes that he may have been abducted by aliens. The film debuted in that year’s Venice Film Festival and had its semi-wide release in 2005.

In 2006, Corbet returned to the small screen with a recurring role as Derek Huxley, son of Jack Bauer's new girlfriend (played by Connie Britton) in the fifth season of Fox's Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning show, "24."

Meanwhile, he has appeared in the indie rock band Bright Eyes’ music video “At The Bottom Of Everything” (2005). In October 2006 he was also featured in the Ima Robot video for "Lovers in Captivity", which was produced independently of their Virgin record label and was featured in an Out Magazine [1] article.

Corbet has completed director Matthew Buzzell's upcoming comedy movie, Sunny & Share Love You. Corbet's latest film to be released is writer-director Michael Haneke's English language remake of the 1997 Austrian thriller, Funny Games. Brady and Michael Pitt play two sociopaths holding a family hostage in their cabin. Funny Games was released in the U.S. on March 14, 2008.
