Worked behind the scenes with IWA pro-wrestling for many years as the booker,(the guy who decides who wins and loses and why, yes wrestlers have scripts, shocking,I know) in what many consider were the glory days of Australian pro-wrestling, the late 90's. University of NSW Professor John McCallum wrote a major thesis on Brett's act titled Don't Sh*t Ya Selves (a study of Hollywood Brett Sheargold). It is still used in english and media classes to this day, both here and overseas. Brett is not married and currently resides in Brisbane where he is writing his first book. He also has a network comedy show in the works and plans for a major motion picture later in the year. Brett also writes and edits for many of Australia's major comedy performers. To find out more Google Brett Sheargold or go to You Tube keyword Sheargold. Ok...Enough of the press blurbs...Is that what this is? A blurb... I had a blurb after a dodgy Chinese meal once.. I donâ€™t use this MySpace as a promotional site and here's why.. This site is more of an insight as to what I do when I'm not doing comedy/radio/TV/film stuff.. There are lots of other things I do too,really cool stuffâ€¦It's also an insight for the people who only know "Hollywood" to get a chance to meet Brett.. Give the blog a read and feel free to leave comments.I love hearing from you..Enjoy,Hollywood,I mean Brett.... No I mean Hollywood.....Oh....Let's just say Brett or Hollywood Brett.No... Actually I prefer Brett...Sometimes I don't mind being called Hollywood..But mainly I prefer Brett..Or Mr Sheargold.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Here's footage of me on the new sleep drug Stilnox. A current affair and today tonight have been playing this clip ad nauseum as though this is a NEWS story. If any of the media outlets want to know the truth behind this staged clip, please feel free to contact me. This is a short film made in 2005 that was entered into the Tropfest film festival. (check out my rock star blond hair) Some language may offend.
