Brendan Sexton photographed by Tom LeGoff
I met Brendan several years ago during a publicity shoot for the feature film Hurricane Streets. We arranged a photo shoot in an alley in the Lower East Side behind the nightclub Arlene Grocery, spending hours crouched in a sinkhole while photographer Tom LeGoff snapped portraits of Brendan, Isidra Vega, David Frank and Carlo Albain.
A few months later we were standing on a snow-covered street in Park City, Utah during the Sundance Film Festival. Brendan's producer Gill Holland introduced him to a woman reporter who asked to do a television interview for the Sundance Channel. Brendan smirked and said, "Okay, here's the deal: I'll do it, but only if you interview me in your underwear. Oh, and another thing -- I want all my friends there in bed with us, too..." So an hour later, a television crew was set up in Brendan's hotel room with the woman dressed in black lingerie and the Hurricane film crew and a bunch of us crowded onto the bed with Brendan for the interview.
