Hailing from Texas, Bret Shuford has been living deep in the heart of the acting world since he moved to New York City in 1999. A veteran of 8 Broadway shows, several feature films, network television, and webseries, Shuford has sung, danced, and acted on stages and screens across the country. His best collaboration has been with ballet dancer, actor, and husband, Stephen Hanna. Shuford hopes to continue working as an actor on Broadway and in television/film while helping other actors reach their goals.
On episode 83, NYC-based actress and Actor Aesthetic host Maggie Bera chats with Bret about his transition from small-town Texas to the Big Apple, his journey to Broadway, survival jobs, having a family as a performer, and how he was inspired to create his own business, Broadway Life Coach!
