His career began in Chicago, where he excelled in musical theater, toured with The Second City, and won a Joseph Jefferson Award for his portrayal of Bill Snibson in Me and My Girl. After moving to Los Angeles, he gained wide recognition playing the eccentric janitor Arwin Hawkhauser on Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. He also produced, co-wrote, and starred in the silent slapstick series Brian O'Brien.

His TV credits include Young Sheldon, where he delivered a memorable recurring performance as the irritable Hubert Givens; Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn (as Tom Harper); and reprising his role from the animated Loud House series as Lynn Loud Sr. for the live-action Paramount Plus series The Really Loud House. Brian has also recurred on Two and a Half Men, Best Foot Forward, and For All Mankind, among others.
