Bradley C. Bell (born October 4, 1985) is an American television producer and screenwriter, actor, musician, and comic book author.
Brad's rise to stardom was built from the social media platform "Youtube", which is where he started to grow his fanbase.
Early on, Bell identified as an artist, spending his childhood convinced that the road to success would start in Los Angeles.
[4][5] One journalist writes of Bell's persona, "under all the glitter and glitz, Cheeks is an incisive, intelligent talent who couches his social criticism in showbiz flair, because he knows what works".
[6] Though Cheeks' signature style of exuberance led some to deride it as a stereotype, Bell counters, "[If] you're not going to watch me long enough to figure out that there's more to me than my fabulousness, you're of the exact same mentality as the people you're worried are going to judge you based on my behavior".
[7] Bell caught the attention of television writer Jane Espenson when she discovered his pointed dissection of Carrie Prejean's public response to a question of marriage equality, during the 2009 Miss USA pageant.
[10] The first season of Husbands was shot in August 2011, and premiered to critical praise,[11] including The New Yorker's first ever review of an online series, in which Bell was hailed as "the standout, a confident flibbertigibbet who regards himself as a modern Blanche DuBois".
Because communication requires both parties to interact with each other, Bell reasons that the Internet better fulfills the criteria for television than a broadcast platform.
[21][22] Bell elaborated more on the issue: Oddly though, the standards by which people define television isn't the platform.
[23]Bell's work in music began in 2008, co-writing and performing the title track for horror short film Side Effect.
