He has stunt doubled for some of the industry's elite actors, including exclusive stunt double for George Clooney in movies: Batman & Robin, The Perfect Storm, Three Kings, Out of Sight, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and The Peacemaker. Along with Batman, Brad has also doubled for a several other superheroes: Chris O'Donnell in Batman Forever, Ben Affleck in Daredevil and Toby Maguire in Spider-Man 2.

He is best recognized for his work designing, coordinating and directing the action units in Underworld, Underworld Evolution and Underworld Awakening. Brad has also stunt coordinated countless other blockbusters like Live Free or Die Hard, Tropic Thunder, The Other Guys and Expendables 3 to name a few.
