Bryant Steven Smith was born December 3, 1983, in Mountain View, California to Rhonda Roldan, of Polynesian descent and Russell Smith, of English descent. Bryant grew up with his younger siblings, a brother and two sisters, in a home raised by his mother and step-father. In high school, Bryant joined the Junior ROTC and ultimately enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, while working full time as a railroad freight conductor. In 2008, Bryant served a tour of duty in Iraq, but was lucky enough to return home to his family in somewhat the same condition. Following a years long struggle with alcohol and drug abuse, Bryant became clean and sober, falling into part-time modeling work, which graduated to commercials, and then small movie roles. Bryant continues to photograph well and audition for available movie roles, as he maintains his sobriety. Bryant loves karaoke, all things Elvis, his Mom, and his daughters. His siblings, he tolerates.
