More about Brandon Sklenar
Brandon Sklenar was born Brandon Tyler Feakins in Dover, New Jersey, in 1990. After a short stint in college, he moved to Los Angeles and began his acting journey. His breakout came in 2018 with Mapplethorpe, followed by roles in Vice, Midway, and a series of independent films. His portrayal in The Big Ugly earned acclaim, with critics praising his screen presence.
He became a household name with the release of 1923 in 2022, where his role as Spencer Dutton stood out in the Yellowstone universe. The character’s emotional depth and physical grit reflected Sklenar’s ability to handle layered roles. Sklenar revealed he would love to reprise Spencer in the 1944 prequel if given the chance.
In 2024, he played a pivotal role in It Ends with Us, followed by Drop in 2025. These projects formed an unofficial trilogy of stories dealing with abuse and recovery. Sklenar acknowledged that these stories resonated with his personal life, reflecting a deeper purpose behind his acting choices.
He’s repeatedly expressed admiration for Christian Bale’s Batman and has stated he would approach the character with a darker tone, staying true to the comic version. As per a Movieweb interview published on April 15, 2025, Brandon stated,
"I love Christian [Bale's] version, probably my favorite version of Batman. But I'd want him to see, like, lean more into Bruce Wayne being Bruce Wayne, how he is in the comics, and then make Batman as dark as possible."As a child, Batman was his favorite superhero, and taking on that role has always been his dream. According to The Hollywood Reporter, published on April 10, 2025, Brandon expressed,
"I have my own ideas on the character, if that ever comes to fruition. He was my favorite comic book character as a child, and he’s superior because he is a real man. I think there’s a lot more to explore there, and there’s a way to do it that makes it very real. So, if it ever comes around, I would gladly take that torch, and I would not take it lightly.”Follow us for the latest updates on your favorite celebrities and more.
