(they/them)

Brandon Kyle Goodman (they/them) is a writer, actor, host, and sexual/mental wellness advocate. They’re best known for their work on Netflix’s smash hit and Emmy nominated animated comedy series Big Mouth and its spin-off Human Resources; Amazon’s Modern Love, Hulu’s Plus One, and Netflix’s Feel the Beat.

Every Monday, BKG asks their Instagram followers to tell them something good or messy. People who tune into the Instagram Stories series, called Messy Mondays send in submissions around relationships, sex, and identity. Inspired by Messy Mondays, BKG launched their podcast, Tell Me Something Messy with the iHeart network. On the show, celebrity guests and experts divulge their own messy stories all with the intention of helping people lead more liberated lives. BKG continues their hosting duties, joining E! News for RE!CAP where BKG and co-hosts serve up hot takes on Hollywood’s biggest nights! This fall, BKG will hit the stage for an off-Broadway run of their new show HEAUX CHURCH produced by award winning theater company Ars Nova and Emmy winner Lena Waithe. BKG shares an inspiring and uplifting message of self-love and acceptance with their first book, You Gotta Be You released in 2022. Written in the same refreshingly honest voice as their viral Instagram posts, they explore the intersection of race, sexuality and gender, and the lessons that would guide them to their most authentic self. They continue their writing on relationships, sex, and identity for their Messy Mondays Substack.

BKG has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Well+Good, OUT, Bustle, Buzzfeed, and many more. A graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, BKG now lives in Los Angeles.
