I'm Brianne
I am 21
I'm an actress
and I do modelling as well
Whenever I can at least
Oh the cat's there too
Oh no
You know how like most parents
keep their child's baby teeth
or like creepy things like that?
So we have a cupboard
filled with my baby arms
So I have like a whole...
a whole...
baby arm collection
This is the creepiest one
This one literally looks identical to a baby's hand
This one has a lot of really funny stories
because it's literally got like wrinkles and nails
We we're getting the bus
cause at that point mum and dad didn't drive
and there's this wee old lady
like carrying her shopping
also trying to get on the bus
But I ran ahead of my mum
So my arm
my mum was just left with my arm
and I ran ahead
and the wee old woman screamed
because you don't expect a child's hand
to come off when they run away from their parents
When I was younger
I knew that people like see me differently
cause obviously there was children
who'd be like why do you have no hands?
And I'd just be like cause I just don't okay
Like why do you have hands?
Probably wasn't til like I got to an age
where I could kind of understand
that I was the odd one out
and not everyone else
Yeah they used to joke and call it Brianne Syndrome
because I've got loads of really rare stuff
that no one else seems to have
My dream...
Oh, that's a hard one
Okay this is going to sound really stupid
Probably something in either
Grey's Anatomy or Casualty
That's like the two
Like Casualty it's like one of my favourite things
like I'm up-to-date with it
Like it's really good
Here she is
Brianne!
Brianne was struggling for a bit
so we invited her up to the office
so that we could have a chat face-to-face
Hello
Hi
How are you?
Hi I'm good, how are you?
Come on in
So how's things been with yourself?
Yeah
I ended up having quite a rough lockdown
and there was days where like
you would message me
when I was having like a really rubbish day
And I would be like
Oh, Sonia cares
and be like that's nice
You're important to us
Everyone that's on my books is important
Yeah
I'd like to think it's not just the agency
We're here, we're community
Yeah, like...
We all have a day
You know, it's like...
Yeah
Having a pet does help
Having Bruno got me out of my bed every day
If not I probably wouldn't have got out of bed
When you were like
do you want to do a self-tape?
I was like yes, please, yes
I was like I need something, anything
like even though I didn't get them
I was like thank God I've got something to do
like I've got something to get me by
We've put you up for quite a few things
since things have opened up with the lockdown
But you've been so close to quite a few things
Yeah and then just...
Something exciting happened
So we've been working away behind the scenes
and thinking like how can we just like
keep driving you forward with work
We've got the possibility of doing some SA work
on Casualty
Yes
Would you interested in doing something like that?
Cause we're speaking to them and hopefully they're
Yeah I love Casualty
It's one of my favourite programmes
Yeah, literally my dog loves it as well
As soon as she hears the theme tune
she runs in
But yeah, yeah 100%
Right oh cool right
I'm gonna get to do my dream job
like that's like one of my dream jobs
Just amazing
Dream agent
like if you tell her like oh
I want to do something then she'll get it done
Oh my god Casualty
If you'd said to me like even a year ago
I'd have said no
there's no way that that's what I'm doing
like that's not my life
It's almost like being on your TV
Like it just feels surreal
I think I'm supposed to be here
Walk forward?
Walk forward
and tucking left after that alright?
Just turn left?
Okay
Getting myself out there
and being around people
who like do have lots of experience
like learn from them
Just try not to trip over my own feet
When they say act natural
you kinda...
then panic and go what's natural?
So cool
I like the hands
They look creepy
because they move as well
whereas obvioulsy the ones that I'm used to
are just solid
We took them all here
and we cast them all on real artists hands and...
Ah
Cause obviously I get prosthetics
for like the bionic side of it all...
but yeah
Cause I just kind of thought
no like that acting industry
doesn't want someone with no hands
Like that's just not a career path
When people say you can't do something
just kind of try harder to do it
just to prove them wrong
because I mean
that always feels good for anyone
