In 2002, he became a cast member in the Nickelodeon sketch comedy television series All That from seasons 7–8.[2] He later appeared in the documentary series Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV where he alleged that producers compared him to a "piece of charcoal" and disliked getting covered in peanut butter and getting licked by dogs in its spin-off show, SNICK On-Air Dare.[3] Hearne's mother, Tracey Brown, also felt that some of the sketches he was in were racist, including one where he sold Girl Scout cookies like he was selling drugs.[4][5]
Years after his time as a child actor, Bryan Hearne performed as a rapper under the name Comodity. He is part of a rap group called Crown Holders alongside fellow child star Jeffery Wood.[6] Bryan Hearne was later married to Daishaundra Loving-Hearne.
