Brian Backer
Known for
Brian Backer has the profile of a jobbing American actor, the kind of casting that steadies a production rather than sells it. The trade got him early: first credit at 25. If there is a home genre, it is comedy. Cinema and television have both taken his work. Of everything here, 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' is the title that keeps being brought up, and Mark "Rat" Ratner with it. Another job that stuck is 'Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol'.
