About Brando Quinn - Cruise & Travel Advisor Extraordinaire After graduating from high school, Brando Quinn enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, serving honorably under the Air Training Command in Mississippi, Alaska (AAC), and then Arizona. He then decided to join up with 'The Few and the Proud', the United States Marines and served in the Middle East during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm on the front lines of battle. Quinn then applied to the U.S. Navy Chaplaincy program while completing his Master of Divinity (Military Chaplaincy) degree at Liberty University. Brando then thought some of his experiences could translate to the silver movie screen so he ventured to Hollywood, California. He was soon playing secret agents opposite Robert Vaughn and Erik Estrada in sci-fi thrillers and behind the scenes parts in such notable movies as “Forrest Gump”, and “Star Trek Generations”. He did walk-on roles in award-winning television sitcoms like “Coach” and “Murphy Brown”, and finally, landed a starring role in a segment of the hit television series, “The Love Connection”, where he was the only guest in the show’s history to be paid to go on two dates instead of the traditional one. Quinn then decided to explore the world on his own; he bought a one-way ticket to Paris France and toured throughout Europe, the United Kingdom, and North Africa. After he returned to the U.S. he wrote and published several books, recorded 5 Music CD's/Music Videos with a five-piece band called "RavenPheat".
