In March, 1994 at the urging of two close friends, Craig made the decision to pursue his lifelong dream of
becoming an actor. After taking an early retirement from Time Warner, where he was an award-winning creative director in the Warner Music Group, Mr. Braun moved to Los Angeles from New York to work in television and film and to study with the legendary acting coach, Milton Katselas, at the Beverly Hills Playhouse.
Craig’s most recent performance was the lead role of the Father in the West Coast premiere of Million Bells of Ocean this past summer at LATC. In New York, he has appeared in numerous off-off Broadway productions including Merchant of Venice, as Sidney Bruhl in Deathtrap and in 2001, The Shadows of the Sun with Marisa Berenson and Kim Hunter (her last stage performance) at the Westhampton Performing Arts Center.
Recent film work includes the lead role in the mini-series "Betrayal
In Paradise" and roles in "Swordfish", "Flawless" and
"Great Expectations". As well as televison appearances guest-starring on
"E.R.", "The Practice", "Law &
Order", "Law & Order: Special Victims
Unit", "Third Watch" and the soap operas
"Passions" (recurring) and "Guiding
Light".
Mr. Braun thanks actor friends…John Doman, Michael Learned and his first acting teacher, Robert X. Modica, for their encouragement of this new, latest chapter in his life. And, of course, Milton Katselas for helping him put his
Dreams into Action. Craig's mantra…GO FOR IT!!!
