Patrick Brammall, an Australian actor best known for his role in the popular comedy series Colin from Accounts, has taken on a range of diverse characters in his career. Brammall, who co-created and co-starred in Colin from Accounts with his wife, Harriet Dyer, has spoken about the challenges and rewards of drawing from personal experiences to create humor in his work. One memorable moment from the show involved a scene where he accidentally sent a "dick pic" and then fell out of a bathtub fully nude—a moment he described as "humiliating" but essential for the show's comedic tone. In his latest project, the Apple TV+ thriller Last Seen, Brammall portrays Ian Ridley, a hardened ex-police officer haunted by the disappearance of his three-year-old daughter 11 years earlier. Brammall said that being a father helped shape his performance, as he and Dyer have two adopted daughters. To film the role, Brammall left home just 12 days after the birth of their second child, calling the decision "crazy." Dyer and the children soon joined him in Melbourne once their second daughter’s passport was ready. Brammall also appeared in The Devil Wears Prada 2, playing Peter, an Australian real-estate contractor living in New York. The character drew some criticism, with viewers calling him "the most criminally tedious heterosexual male to ever appear in a mainstream movie." Brammall acknowledged the feedback, noting that fans had strong opinions about the character of Andy Sachs, the protagonist of the original film. He also mentioned that the role was condensed due to the need to balance multiple characters and a large audience. Initially, Brammall declined an invitation to audition for The Devil Wears Prada 2 because he was still filming Last Seen and the family was preparing to move to Montreal. However, he later received a direct offer from the director and accepted the role. He admitted the experience was "a waste of time" at first but ultimately worked out well for him. Reflecting on the conclusion of Colin from Accounts after its third and final season, Brammall explained that the show's story centered on two people meeting in a chaotic way and deciding whether to embrace that chaos. He said the show’s ending resolved this question, and while continuing the series would be fun, it would result in a different show altogether. Brammall added that while they might consider a remake if offered a significant sum, they prefer to leave the show as is, believing it has a unique integrity.
