Meet Bravo Marandure | Actor & Model

We had the good fortune of connecting with Bravo Marandure and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bravo, why did you pursue a creative career?
I’ve always had a passion for arts and entertainment since i was a child. Growing up I would perform in plays and write songs to perform. In school I participated in theater, choir and sang in an r&b band. I got to experience acting in church and school plays. I was raised by immigrant parents and never thought I could pursue acting as a career,  I was always told to do what was practical and consider a career that provides financial security. But as I entered the corporate world of business doing large scale event planning and marketing, I felt unfulfilled. So, I started to explore my creative side once again by taking classes in theatre, tv and film. I realized I wanted to give acting a try and booked my first commercial. From that day on, every step I took towards pursuing my dream of becoming a working actor opened doors and put me in rooms I never imagined. They say what is for you won’t pass you by and I’ve held strong to my beliefs. No matter how hard the journey gets, I’ve learned you have to be relentless and believe it can and will be done. This has been a fulfilling career and I would not have known the possibilities if i didn’t try. Be true to yourself and never dismiss the voice in your head that’s guiding you towards your life’s calling. I believe we can all get more out of life. Acting has given me the ability to combine all of my creative interests into one. The possibilities are endless and I continue to develop as an actor by learning, creating, and exploring my craft.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart from others is that I’m versatile and able to embody a variety of different characters. Aside from acting, I have an established career in print modeling, voice over and commercial work. My journey has had many ups and downs, but it’s all been rewarding and given me the freedom to do what I love. Every day I look forward to being apart of new projects and working with other creatives.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There’s many people who have played a huge role in my success, but I’d be remised if I didn’t give a huge shoutout to God! He’s had my back through it all and none of the opportunities I’ve had would be possible without him. Secondly, I’d like to thank my family and friends who encouraged me to keep going. The love and support gives me the fuel to strive for more and I owe it to them for believing in me. I’d like to thank my agents, teachers, colleagues and production companies who have given me opportunities, believed in me, taught me, and encouraged me. Each and every one of these people has played an important role in my journey and helped get me to where I am today. Thank you!
