Brendan Spratt was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. Although his father was heavily involved in the local Gaelic football club, Brendan’s mother recognised he was far too fabulous to get dirty on a pitch and instead enrolled him in the Billie Barry stage school. Leaving school, Brendan worked as a professional dancer while completing a degree in Electronic Media. Brendan has worked as a writer on the UK soap Emmerdale and currently writes for RTE’s longest running drama Fair City. He lives in Dublin city with his partner Gavin and their dog Rufus.
