Bryan made his Broadway debut as President Lyndon B. Johnson in All The

Way, winning the Tony Award for his efforts. He went on to produce the film adaption of the play through his production company, Moonshot Entertainment. And in 2019 he finished a Broadway run of Network based on the iconic film written by Paddy Chayefsky, for which he won his second Tony Award.
