Throughout his career, he made a number of short appearances on popular sitcoms such as Full House, Blossom, Saved By The Bell: The College Years, and The Wonder Years. He also appeared in a TV commercial for Cap'n Crunch in 1992.

Brandis starred in a number of sitcoms and movies throughout the 1990s. He portrayed the lead character Bastian Bux in the 1990 fantasy film "The NeverEnding Story II."

He also played Lucas Wolenczak in the sci-fi series "seaQuest DSV" and Matthew in the sports-comedy movie Ladybugs (1992).

At the height of his fame, Brandis was a teen idol who received more than 4,000 letters per week from female viewers. His face was regularly featured on the front covers of teen magazines.

His acting roles started to dry up in his early twenties. Although he worked hard to secure a part in the film Hart's War (2002), many of his scenes were later cut during production.

This was a bitter pill to swallow, as he had hoped the movie would shake off his image as a teen actor and kick-start his Hollywood career.

In 2003, he was given a role in the pilot episode of "111 Gramercy Park." However, the series was never picked up by television networks.

As his career petered out, Brandis reportedly became depressed and started abusing alcohol.

Two years after the release of Hart's War, the actor committed suicide at this apartment building.
