In the high school comedy Brian, the titular character is dealing with a cool older brother, Kyle, who seems to have everything come easily to him. He also has two strong opponents running against him in his school presidential election, incumbent Teddy and confident Ashley.

Brian stars Ben Wang, William H. Macy, Edi Patterson, Randall Park, Natalie Morales, Joshua Colley, Sophia Macy, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Thomas Barbusca, and Jacob Moskovitz.

I talked to Brian stars, Sam Li, who plays Kyle, Sophia Macy, who plays Ashley, and Jacob Moskovitz, who plays Teddy, about what their characters truly think of Brian, the most outlandish line from the movie, and the benefits of being directed by a fellow actor like Will Ropp.
