Actor, comedian and writer Guy Branum recently starred in Universal’s rom-com Bros opposite Billy Eichner, which he also co-produced.

He is also a writer and consulting producer on the new Amazon Prime series A League of their Own, inspired by the iconic film. He is currently working as a writer and Co-Executive Producer on the Emmy nominated HBO Max series Hacks.

Guy just finished shooting a supporting role on the new Apple TV+ comedy Platonic, starring Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne. Platonic will premiere next Spring.

In the book, Guy dives into anti-fat bias and problematic representations of gays in media.
