Brian Distance is an American film and television actor known for his portrayals as the "tough-yet-honest" law enforcement officer. He has appeared in numerous film, television and off-Broadway productions. Brian Distance is known for his role in the multi Oscar-winning and multi Golden Globe-winning film "Green Book", his recurring role on NCIS: New Orleans (CBS) as New Orleans Police Department Sergeant Gordon, and co-star appearances on Billions (Showtime), Bull (CBS), Blindspot (NBC), Daredevil (Netflix), The Mysteries of Laura (NBC), House of Cards (Netflix), 30 Rock (NBC), and a host of other movies and television shows.

Brian Distance was born in Baltimore, Maryland. At a very young age, he cultivated his love for theatre and the performing arts by appearing in several grade school and high school plays.

After witnessing first-hand the September 11th terrorist attacks in the Financial District in New York City, Brian left his job as a Wall Street finance attorney to return to his true passion, acting. To further hone his acting chops, Brian graduated from the prestigious William Esper Studio (NYC) Two-Year Professional Actor Training Program.
