Make A Difference Minute: Representing Culture on the Big Screen

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Bro Richmond, son of actor and stuntman Branscombe Richmond, as he shares about his experience working on Disney’s live-action Moana.

Bro was selected from a large casting search that brought together Polynesians from across the United States with a wide variety of skills and experiences. With his background in stunt work, Bro was chosen to portray one of Moana’s ancestors in scenes filmed aboard a boat placed on a massive gimbal designed to recreate the movement and conditions of the high seas.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Bro says he feels fortunate to have been handpicked for the role and to be part of a film that gives him the opportunity to represent his Hawaiian culture on the big screen.
For Bro, the experience is about more than being part of a major film production. It’s an opportunity to honor where he comes from while continuing to build his own path in the entertainment industry.
